Really love that Nightwing and Deathstroke were at the center of all this. I have always felt that Deathstroke is the Joker (or Lex Luthor) to Nightwing's Batman (or Superman) so it's nice to see that be more set in stone. Having it end with Nightwing being the one in charge was so wholesome to see too. Dick Grayson has always been one of my top 5 comic book characters of all time and to see him get the love he has always deserved legit brings a tear to my eye. My favorite was seeing Batman praise him at the end and say that he's proud of him. I cried like a baby when I read that.
I'm 24. Nightwing's been my absolute favorite DC character since Middle School, and I made a Facebook page/group about him back then (and it's still up with like 5K followers or something). This is absolutely amazing 👏👏👏
It’s about time DC acknowledges what we all have known all along, Dick has been one of the most popular characters they’ve had since his introduction in 1940. We are coming up on 83 years of our beloved Grayson! He carried the company in the 80s with New Teen Titans and has never faltered narratively - he truly is the best of them and the best of us! Inspires both fictional characters in the narrative and readers alike!

This is what he was always meant to be. At least before the New 52 came around. They were building up to Dick being in the center stage. The heart of the DCU. Then 2011 happened and erased so much of his history with everyone. Thankfully Rebirth started putting things back on track.

I don't know if I would want him to have a sidekick but more of an equal duo thing. Like his batfamily switching in and out with each other. I'd really like to see him and redhood work together, something near to how they are in Gotham knights. Like Jason isn't too hard headed and Nightwing doesn't exactly have a problem with his methods. This coming from someone who doesn't read comics tho.

Finally Nightwing My boy is finally getting what he deserves. He’s no longer in the shadow of Batman. He’s also kind of like Superman!
I love this analysis! Nightwing would be an amazing leader! And that is very canon, since Batman always wanted Dick to take over.

I feel like this "Death to all Meta humans" is an interesting hook for a new storyline I actually haven't seen it explored before and I actually kinda like it plus bringing The Light from YJ is great. Still hoping for a season 5.
I'm so proud of him, despite him being a fictional character
With all of the immense volume of popularity and recognition that he’s getting, it’s quite a shame and a real crime that he doesn’t even have a solo animated series nor movie franchise yet! Real bummer, man!
You can say he’s NOW the RINGLEADER
My favorite part was when Black Adam shared his power with the entire justice league, which helped the heroes defeat the darkness and save the multiverse. So much action in this comic. Love the video. 👍
Nightwing always had a higher ceiling Batman and Superman said it many times we just finally get to see it for ourselves.
Dick Grayson leading the Justice League....now THAT'S CHARACTER DEVELOPED TO PERFECTION.
Nightwing has become one of my favorites. He’s in my top 5 now with DC characters.
Did they really gave Black Adam The Rock’s eyebrow raise?
10:33 black Adam does the rock face😭
This put a smile to my face.
Nightwind is my fav character and nightwing deserves so much more love.
Whoever the crazy evil batman lookin thing is at 12:08 looks really cool.
that last panel where black adam looks like the Rock is so cursed
I loved the ending of this new crisis. Not only does it make the justice league think about things going forward but also what it means to them. Also FINALLY NIGHTWING GETS WHAT HE DESERVES. I was so happy that he was the core of the end and new beginning bc he was always my favorite sidekick turned own hero. Plus he didn't want to be the Batman he wanted to be better.
10:29- doesn’t black Adam’s comic depiction looks like Dwayne Johnson
Can you do history of Cyclone, Rhino, Sandman, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Kurt Connors the Lizard. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?
Finally, it’s been said so many times Nightwing is a better team leader than Batman! He deserves to be one of that top dogs!
I'm sorry BUT Black Adam sharing his powers is way better than that Thor love and Thunder😭😂😂😂
How was Dr_Light's powers able to combine with The_Flash's powers in this comic book issue? What would happen if we saw Dr_Light in the Flash movie in the DCU? Can you do history of Dr_Light?
Glad to see Nightwing getting his shine he’s always been one of my favorite hero’s
Since you did history of Marvel's Black Knight, Can you do history of Marvel's Dreadknight? If you seen the recent episodes of season 7 of the Flash, can you do history of Impulse, XS, Psych, Fuerza, Steadfast, Chillblaine, Abracadabra, Rainbow Raider, Mirror Master and Top in your next video?
10:33 black atom looks like the rock 😂
I am glad DC has been giving Nightwing the attention and character development he deserves! His most recent comics have been some of my favorite stories since I started reading comics a few years ago.
This was rad as hell. After some crisis exhaustion, it's really nice to have a solid story. I love how well they're implementing legacy characters. It's working really well... FINALLY 💙
Really hyped for the future of Nightwing. Richard Grayson is IMO the most important hero of the DC Universe outside the 7 founding members of the Justice League. Heck he predates most of them and has grown the most in 8 decades. Finally front and center as he deserves.
10:31 that top panel of Black Adam really looks like The Rock with the eyebrow haha
AWES🙂ME, DEEP & INTERESTING 🤔👍 BEST WISHES 👍TO THE NEW DCU 🌟 & 🦇 NIGHTWING 🦇
I really enjoyed this. Nightwing is my favorite superhero from DC. I consider him DC's version of Spiderman.
out of all things dc could've done, this feels like a direct flip of the bird to didio
I’ve said it before (here probably) and I’ll say it again: Dick Grayson and Peter Parker occupy the same role in their universes. They’re not the strongest or the smartest, they’re just the best. And it’s genuinely because of their humanity.
I love you so much you make my faith in humanity get a lil stronger
Ok DC!! I Haven't bought a DC comic in over a generation but this was some GOOD stuff here 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It looks like they struck a really great balance in resetting their universe this time. It reminds me a lot of the original post-crisis DCU, which I think a lot of people would agree was the best one they ever did. I really thought they were gonna gank poor old Ted Kord yet again, but there he was hale & hearty at the end. They just need to stop drawing him with underwear & give him the shorts look Paris Cullens did in his original DC series.
That ending was absolutely insane. Loved every part of it. I’m so intrigued with the epilogue though, like what? All meta humans? But going back, that black Adam scene was just so freakin awesome. Marvel needs to take some notes on how to write an entertaining story
Batman himself said that Nightwing is a clearer and purer version of what Batman was supposed to mean/stand for.
Nightwing has always been the most important person in DC
Classic Slade becoming an undead underling that kicksoff the end of the world
@10:31 Artist drew Black Adam as The Rock 😅 maybe this is what the Rock was thinking in terms of direction of his vision for the DCU
I always remember the scene in young justice when diana tell bruce you inducted greyson into crime fighting to be like you and Bruce response was so he doesn't 👏👏 Nightwing represent what is like to be batman and superman minus the superpower
10:30 the rock's eyebrow raise caught me off guard 🤣
Those 2 mystery characters at the end. One of them looks like a Joker infected Ghost maker. And the other is some sort of character in a custom Batman costume, complete with cowl ears and with a crazy bat signal on their chest.
10:28 why does Black Adam really look like the Rock in that panel 🤣🤣🤣
Teth creating a DCU Black Adam Corp was a FIRE PANEL 😍😍😍, I love the stories where heroes get power upgrades much like in blackest night. And APPARENTLY DC is taking Ques from Greg Weisman and that young justice crew putting Nightwing at the forefront WITH Waller heading the counsel of light. Good on DC for embracing the younger legacy heroes that have been here
12:12 Those two mystery people...Superman/Batman logo, Martian Manhunter's skin color, Flash Speed Force hands, Green Lantern insignia; this some kind of amalgamation of a Justice League, but twisted? And the one in black looks like another Batman Who Laughs, but under mental control. Interesting...
The only way Nightwing can truly shine is if he moves on from Batmans shadow. Wally West is looked as equal to Barry Allen flash. And Nightwing has the character and popularity to stand on his own.
That shit was crazy
I’m nearing the end of S3 of young justice. Finally watching it. Kinda get the same vibe from this issue. But I love Knightwing. He’s definitely in my top 3 hero’s of the DCU. Glad to see he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves.
I feel this is like a goodbye knowing the trinity will soon enter public domain
We need the Scarlet Witch to cross over into the DCU and say "No more crisis events".
Considering nightwing was like bruce and Clarks boy he is just inheriting his fathers' mantle
I'm excited to see what comes😄
My favorite DC character Nightwing!!!!
10:31 The Rock played Black Adam now they got him doing the people’s eyebrow💀😂
I wish we got another sick Green Lantern arc. Focus on the phantom ring and ultra-violent light. Perhaps the ultra-violent could fuse with the phantom ring creating a brand new corps. Starting a new war, since the phantoms can use all the emotional spectrum, they believe that the other corps need to be updated. They could be dangerous if they were able to use all the emotional spectrum but without the negatives of constantly changing. That's when the ultra violent light comes in. Allowing the users to tap into it without problems.
4:12 Thats Goku and Gohan Vibes right there
Nightwing is my favorite for a reason.
10:34 why is Black Adam doing the Rock eyebrow raise 😂😂😂
Nightwing is the goat
FINALLY, this melting mess is over, I'm gonna take the heat and say this has been the worst crisis since Heroes in Crisis. There's zero focus on any hero or villain, the stakes are non-existent, and it all feels like DC's latest attempt to salvage any continuities they can profit from If this was supposed to be a big passing the torch moment, that impact is negated when The Justice League inevitably returns. If it was supposed to be a point on the cost of generational heroism, that came out of nowhere only to make Deathstroke on the same villain level as the other crisis antagonists make sense ... aaaand after all that, we get a perfectly unchanged status quo and a tease for DC's most disliked villain
