Nightwing_Beyond

@LuigiBat: I guess what has people so excited is the large impact this arc will have on Nightwing. Higgins stated that this arc will insight big changes in the book for months to come. Plus, Joker and Nightwing rarely interact so it's interesting to see the dynamic between Joker and Nightwing. The only good Joker/Nightwing story I can recall is Last Laugh which was good but, you never really got to see what the Joker thinks of Nightwing. New frontiers being explored in Joker and Nightwing makes up for the lack of immense excitement for readers I suppose. I'm mainly happy about the #1 spot news because that may entice DC to get a kickass artist for the book after Eddy Barrows leaves since it's getting popular.

I feel that Nightwing has surpassed his mentor as a leader and as a hand to hand combatant (By a small margin) while Batman has the edge in intelligence and detective skills. I feel that Batman isn't as much of a brawler as Nightwing is. Most of Batman's fights usually have him take down foes quickly and from the shadows while Nightwing jumps into the spotlight and handles things head on. To be fair though, I think Dick's time as Batman is what made him reach higher levels than Bruce in any of the previously mentioned fields. In the end, I think they'll reach a point where both stand as equals together as the ultimate dynamic duo.
