That guy is mentally deranged and gets into a frothing rage over anything that doesn't adhere perfectly to his radical politics.
Dick Grayson’s always had a big heart. From protecting those persecuted by bullies in his youth, to combating evil alongside Batman as Robin, to pledging his newly inherited wealth to enriching Blüdhaven as Nightwing-his kindness and generosity have always guided his life. But now a new villain stalks the back alleys of Blüdhaven, removing the hearts of the city’s most vulnerable. Who is this terrifying new menace named Heartless, and will he be able to resist plucking out the biggest heart in all of Blüdhaven? Read this (literally) heart-wrenching issue to find out!
This issue continues to keep the series' momentum going as Tom Taylor brings his usual high-quality writing to this product. If this series is any indication, Taylor's future with DC will be full of even more top-tier and fan-favorite books. As a hardcore Nightwing and DC Comics fan, it's hard to find anything negative at all about this series. Especially not any that would bog down all the positives and great things in general about this series. High recommendations go to this issue as well as both past issues! Read Full Review

Nightwing's gonna have to take a double dose of the H-Factor for his meeting with Heartless next issue. We still know so little about him, other than, you know, he takes people's hearts. Can't wait to see how Nightwing handles this dude. Check back for next month's review where I have an over 60% chance of referencing Kanye West's song "Heartless." Read Full Review
This issue is funny at times, heartbreaking at others, and grounded in a trio of great characters. Oh, and we can't forget Bitewing, as the nasty little puppy steals every show she's in. This is the run Dick Grayson fans deserve. Read Full Review
Every single page of this book is just full to the brim with love. Love for the characters, love for the world they inhabit, and love for the medium itself. Dynamic gorgeous art and character development are a winning combination that never grows old. If this run continues this pace, it will undoubtedly go down as one of the greats. Read Full Review
Infinite Frontier's new direction for Nightwing is just awesome entertainment. We get witty dialogue, considerable character interactions, and vile villains. We're drawing closer to the confrontation of Heartless and Nightwing, but the journey to that moment is pure enjoyment! Read Full Review
This issue is filled with brilliant colors that really set the tone of this tale. The color work is especially appealing during the action oriented panels. The detailed drawings are engaging and draw the reader further into the scenes. Read Full Review
While some reviewers have lamented the somewhat slow pace of this run, I love it. The art and coloring are best in the business bar none and the writing is top-notch for sure too! Read Full Review
Nightwing #80 is another home run by the creative team of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo. This issue does a great job in showcasing the dynamic that Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, and Tim Drake share. At the same time, the developments around the new Heartless villain continue to be compelling as things continue to escalate in Bludhaven. All of this makes Nightwing one of the best comic books on the market. Read Full Review
Not only is NIGHTWING #80 a blast to read, it shows this creative team gets people. They know how the human brain works. In the wake of a strange and unexplained tragedy, this cast of characters is chipper. They're all working overtime to avoid thinking about it. Every member of this creative team shows us that. Pick upNightwing #80, out from DC Comics May 18th, at a comic shop near you! Read Full Review
A Robin cameo brings out the absolute best in writing and artwork on an already fun comic. Read Full Review
This isn't much of an issue to get into plot-wise. It's very straightforward, with its plot bare bones and the character interaction doing the heavy work. From Dick's Black Canary t-shirt to his Adam West Batman mug to the return of Chuck Dixon era villains Brutale and Electrocutioner, this is pure comic book fun from top to bottom. No surprises, but a lot of enjoyment. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a very strong book that finally seems to be going places. Read Full Review
There's a lot going on as Tom Taylor begins to weave the plots he laid down the two issues prior and, as always, Bruno Redondo is right there to make easy work out of the script. Read Full Review
Nightwing #80 does a great job at balancing the narrative alongside the fun banter between Dick, Barbara and others. While the previous two issues spent more time musing on Dick's responsibilities to his community, here we get a more overt threat in the form of Blockbuster goons, pushy police detectives, and Heartless. Fans so far will enjoy what's here, but those wanting a little more focus and momentum in the series will find much to like. Read Full Review
Nightwing #80 is a slow burn issue more about fan service than story. Not a ton happens until the end, and even then, the lack of setup made the cliffhanger hit less than it should have. This is still a better Nightwing book than fans have gotten in years, but I am still waiting for that moment that makes it a must-read for everyone. I hope that moment hits next month because I want to love this book, but I only like it right now. Read Full Review
I love the variant cover! I also love this issue. All the characters were handled well, their interactions spot on and fun. This issue had a bit of everything from investigation, character beats, fight scenes, to the long game villain confronting the hero.
The momentum is still going strong with this issue. So many great moments such as Babs & Dick "do they or do they not like them situation (the scene where dick is being interrogated,) good action & most importantly, the introduction of Tim Drake. He literally adds the dynamic that a loving little brother would. He's funny, smart, sympathetic & more. A lot of classic moments and panels/scenes with Dick, Babs, & Dick. Great issue.
Que edição foi essa meu Deus?
Vibrei ao ver o Tim, trazendo toda aquela vibe Chuck Dixon.
Ri descontroladamente por causa da Barbara.
E fiquei anestesiado com as cenas de ação.
Está edição figuras entre as minhas favoritas da vida.
This issue has been the best yet. I really appreciate that the characters drive the story instead of the story driving the characters. This is certainly the best book involving the batfamily and giving those characters some fanservice. The fanservice does go a little overboard at times like when Dicks says Tim might be the best Robin. It's just such an incorrect statement and seems more like something someone would say on twitter instead of in this universe in a canon comic. The fight scene here is just so well done I love it. The latter half of this comic really picks up in a great exciting way.
This is probably DC comics best title. Reminds me of Hawkguy
Jealous todd fan and his fake accounts strikes again lmao
Great use of panels and great writing for Nightwing, Tim Drake, and Barbara Gordon.
Spoilers incoming, A lot of it.
What we got:
- Cool Nightwing gadgets. We are this close from Dick using a Bo staff like the cartoons and tv series.
- Great Bat family moments coupled with our favorite new doggo, Haley, getting her much deserved walk. Who's a good girl?
- Tim being Tim. I recommend this to the Drake fans. I know there is a lot of you begging for content. This is some great content.
- The layout of Dick's apartment. My personal favorite. Those two pages were perfect. This is the thing that hardcore fans love.
- Nightwing villains (Surprise kids! Nightwing has a rogues' gallery before the New52!)
- Dick and Babs' law degrees. Dick's police history. Backstory.
- Babs' more
It's so good. It's literally the perfect balance of humor, clever dialogue, mystery, and amazing storytelling from Tom Taylor. He understands what makes a character likeable, and honestly for me, he is becoming what Bendis always claimed he was. Taylor writes dialogue that flows off the page like a movie. The art doesn't even need any more praising, but I'll mention it again. Redondo's layouts are very unique; he's going for something new every page and every issue. Even haters of his art can't deny that the covers he has put out for this series so far are amazing. This is by far the best series DC is putting out, and every single reader should grab an issue either digitally or physically as soon as possible
What a fun read, I’m so grateful that Tom Taylor is capable of writing amusing dialogue that doesn’t make me want to stab my eyes out, unlike some writers I could name.
bop
This was very good.
I like it. This team continues to have a good run on Nightwing and it's about time.
Good story so far and even greater art.

Fun series
Nightwing #80
Writer: Tom Taylor
Artist: Bruno Redondo
Publisher: DC Comics
Release Date: May 19, 2021
Cover Price: $3.99
Dick Grayson is not Batman. Even though his parents were killed by criminals, and he was raised by Bruce Wayne and eventually became the costumed side-kick Robin, the original Boy Wonder has always had something that made him uniquely different from his mentor: Heart.
Nightwing has long established himself as his own man, and crime-fighter. Flying out of the shadow of the Batman is not an easy thing to do but over the years he has become a fan-favorite and an established hero in his own right.
Tom Taylor and company have not forgotten what led to Dick’s more
Man, the art and the colors here can't get enough praise, perfection would be the right word. The take on Barbara is still great, she caring, badass and smart. There is a cool fight scene that was creative. Saddly this issue felt a bit short.
This run of Nightwing looks beautiful and couldn't be better in tone. Some of Redondo's action sequences this issue are breaktaking in their innovation. If I have a gripe, it's that the story of this arc feels too small. I love the hangout time we get to spend with Dick, Barbara, and Tim, but the conflict and villain so far just aren't compelling.
A solid chapter that makes me hopeful I might enjoy Nightwing after all. Bringing Tim's and Dick's brotherly relationship back has been long overdue and there are some reveals going on about past and present which makes this a good read.
Sadly bringing Dick's time studying law and being a police officer back, makes the decisions he made in #79 look even more naive.
It still doesn't quite feel like a solo Nightwing comic, and I hope more than nostalgia and bats await.
I'm sorry but this is the second issue where things move at a slow pace, add to that Taylor's classic bad dialogue and I can't rate it any higher. I love the art but that alone can't save this book.
We return to the material of writers who do not soak up their characters. Dick is a person who has temporary jobs, he left his law degree, he left the police not because of mediocrity, but because he chose vigilantism above all else.
The accusatory way in which the police arrived does not fit in anything, that is why I support Bárbara's words.
Tim, now the Robin is just filler, Drake deserves his own series and is not used as filler.
It's funny that Dick called Tim the best robin when he was the one who took the title from him. Oh and that wanted scene was more forced.
It is lazy writing, with good art.
