Is Nightwing Batman's greatest son?

@scouterv: Despite what some Viners have said regarding Terry's potential, I don't see how he has as much potential as Damian, who has Jason's ferocity, Dick's athleticism, and Tim's intelligence.

As a character? ... Well, he's my favorite Robin.

I'm guessing by the last part of your post (least entertaining Robin), you're referring to Dick?

@kramotz: i remember a convo between Jason and tim like this

J-dad wouldn't be too proud if he saw you here

T-technically he's not your dad anymore since you were legally pronounced dead

@midnightdragon18: New 52 Dick and Jason were wards. I think all three sons were adopted pre-New 52, though.

Yes. Even Damian has admitted it.

@ultragreenboy: Really? Damian said that...of all people? I'm gonna' need some proof of that. That's truly unbelievable.

Yes

Not really. Damian prefers Dick over his own father.

@ultragreenboy: Not the point. I don't believe Damian would ever admit one of Bruce's other sons was better than him - the "blood son".

No.

Cuz Damian.

wouldn't say he was the best, hes just been around longer so hes the most popular.

@comicstooge: Agreed.

The all mighty chew is Batman greatest son!!!

@jestersmiles: Wanna' get slapped, son?

Bruce regarded Nightwing as the most trusted adversary more than once during post-crisis and stated that Dick is a reflection of himself. Dick is very charismatic and shares optimism. He's even assisted Bruce more than once, despite having his hands full with other teams. There were times when Dick was able to solve cases before Bruce was able to. So I don't see how Dick's study in criminology and observation hasn't been effective thus far. But New 52 has been a slightly different case.

Each Robin was distinguished to have a better variety of characteristics. Dick is regarded as the greatest acrobat in the DCU, Jason is the badass with less morals of the bunch, Tim is regarded as the genius with high efficient detective skills and Damien is the arrogant little brat. All the Robins are cool though.

@mysoulz: "The greatest acrobat"? That's it?

That's what the general comic book conscious recognizes him at most.

If you don't care much for Dick Grayson that's fine. Not trying to convince you :)

@mysoulz: It's not that I don't care; I've stated several times that I simply want some reasons why so many people think he's Batman's greatest son.

Convince me. I want to be convinced.

• He's the first sidekick
• He grew up to be his own man
• He can do just about everything Batman can when it comes to fighting
• Has better interpersonal skills than just about anyone
• Currently the only one that could be Batman without perverting it.

No. Dick has grown up and is now Batman's dad.
