Likewise, Nightwing is a natural-born leader, and he has experience dealing with some of the most stubborn people in the DCU – such as Batman. Nightwing being able to shut down a discussion with Big Barda shows just how respectful he actually is. Barda stood against the likes of Darkseid and Granny Goodness, But she doesn’t know how to press Nightwing at this moment. While this is an impressive showcase of the respect Nightwing commands, it could also be a worrying first step in Dick Grayson becoming much more than Batman, which can’t be a good thing.
Nightwing is DC’s greatest leader
What’s next for the former boy wonder?
Batman is infamous for how stubborn he is and how he almost always believes he is right. This reputation, and other beliefs in him, brought him in first. In this dire situation, Nightwing can fall into the same trap, where he becomes so self-assured and no one questions him to the point that he ends up hurting everyone else. Only time will tell if Dick Grayson is the leader DC needs during the difficult events of Absolute powerBut one thing is certain: Nightwing Has no problem standing up for what he believes in, just like that Batman.
