Exactly, they are putting this new Batman as better than the original in a desperate way when they have not even shaped his story, everything is like magic for this Batman, far from pleasing it is hateful, good at least for me.
Batman is gone! Now, Nightwing has taken on the mission of keeping the citizens of Gotham City safe from the Magistrate. But to do that, he’ll have stay one step ahead of the Magistrate! And you know things have gotten bad in Gotham when the safest place for Dick to hide out is the abandoned Arkham Asylum! When Nightwing gets a visit from a mask claiming to be the new Batman…does he fight like one? Pick up this dark peek into the future by writer Andrew Constant and artist Nicola Scott to find out!
This book is as energetic and acrobatic as its title character. If you like the Bat-Family but are reluctant to give Future State a try, this is the book to buy. Read Full Review
Artist Nicola Scott does an awesome job on the art as well. Maybe they can take this character over permanently? Read Full Review
Also, tough choice between Yasmine Putri's main cover and the variant by Nicola Scott and Annette Kwok. I generally not a big fan of banners and whatnot, but Putri is one of my favorite cover artists. At the same time, Scott and Kwok put such great detail into Nightwing's Future State armor. Have to go with the variant here. Read Full Review
Future State: Nightwing #1 is a great adventure showing Dick's possible future. It's a fast-paced story that plants seeds for a mystery and also a team-up with the Next Batman in issue #2. Read Full Review
Constant and Scott have the makings of a strong creative team that hopefully will be able to continue collaborating on Nightwings adventures after Future State. Read Full Review
Future State: Nightwing gives us a different perspective of Gotham City, as Nightwing is on the run from the ever determined Magistrate. Read Full Review

Andrew Constant gave Nightwing fans and Future State readers an action-packed issue that felt big (Next Batman showing up will do that) and told a quick-moving story that feels like the start of a Future State Bat-Family. I know there probably isn't enough time and space for that, but it felt good seeing it, and I am looking forward to the next issue. Read Full Review
The cliffhanger makes me want to see the end of this story and I am interested in picking up the other titles and seeing what they have. Future State, for this fan, is future shock. Read Full Review
Future State: Nightwing #1 continues the trend of the Batman Family titles being some of the best comic books in DC Comics Future State direction. Andrew Constant and Nicola Scott do a great job setting up Nightwing as having the biggest target on his back as the leader of the resistance against the Magistrate's regime. Read Full Review
This issue is maybe a little too one-note gritty at points, but it has a good hook for a solo adventure for Nightwing. The Gotham stories continue to be the most well-thought-out of the line so far. Read Full Review
Future State: Nightwing #1 is a well-crafted introduction into what might be a 'last vigilante standing' tale for Nightwing. It's worth the time and money spent, though just how this will work itself into contemporary continuity if it even will, remains to be seen. Read Full Review
Dick Grayson, Arkham Asylum, Gotham City… all these things go hand-in-hand. We also get to see Nightwing catching up with an old friend, and meeting a brand new one, too. Page 18 of Future State: Nightwing #1 is scorching hot, and it leads to one hell of a cliffhanger. I'm really, really looking forward to issue #2. Read Full Review
The action, characters and movement in Nicola Scott's art is always astounding, but the city, characters and costumes here do not feel futuristic in any way. This could easily be an issue of Nightwing in his own run if Batman was missing and replaced a la Azreal. It is nice that the characters in Future State still feel like themselves, but time should change anyone and the fun of a future tale should in part be about contrasts with the characters and world we know. Adding cybernetics to the villains and florescent colors to the city isn't quite enough to differentiate things. Read Full Review
Future State: Nightwing #1 tells a familiar tale of a cyberpunk future taken over by a shadowy organization. However, there's not much mystery or intrigue to be found. Read Full Review
Nightwing takes the fight to the Magistrate, joined by someone new under the familiar cape and cowl, but what's with the chin strap? Read Full Review
With how much time is spent on this otherwise run-of-the-mill confrontation, Constant tips his hand too early in regard to there being something of later narrative importance happening within this sequence, and as a result, the rest of the issue reads as padding until he can give deliver one last switcheroo. There are a number of twists here and ultimately not a substantial enough story to support them. Read Full Review
There's a story here, but the real question is why any reader should care given that it's already halfway through with no reason to desire it to have a future. Read Full Review
Tem o Dick tomando banho pelo traço de Nicola Scott, nada mais precisa ser dito sobre essa edição.
After a long time, an issue worthy of the name Nightwing.
Would I feel the same way about Future State Nightwing if there hadn't been an awful storyline before it? I don't know, but it was no less than great to finally see Dick Grayson in action again without the baggage and mishandling of the last 2+ years.
Constant showcases what makes Dick so competent. His Dick is permitted to be smart and a leader. And that's about all fans have been wanting to see after so long. Scott's art is as always nice to look at, and she knows how to tell a story and showcase fluid motion. The only design I don't enjoy is Dick's costume. The chin strap and the shoulder armor makes him look scrunched up.
This Issue sets up a neat dynamic between not only Batman and Nightwing but also Nightwing an more
The first Future State comic worth reading as a stand alone. Glad to see Dick Grayson standing on this own after so long, though its a shame everything else has to suffer to make it so.
If you're already digging the Future State Bat-books, here's another good one to enjoy, though I suspect it's not compelling or innovative enough to sway this event's doubters.
Pretty solid story with some nice art. I loved the splash page with Nightwing back-flipping above near-future Gotham. I wasn't sure about the meeting with the new Batman. I preferred Dick on his own.
Andrew Constant makes good use of Magistrate controlled Gotham City, and portrays the city as a hopeless, totalitarian hellhole where every move you make is being monitored and recorded by fascist overlords. It's a haunting dystopia, certainly explored better than what we've seen in Dark Detective, Harley Quinn and even this week's Catwoman (which is an awesome comic, don't get me wrong, it's just it doesn't delve too deep into this world's mythos and structures of oppressive power). You actually feel like Nightwing is in constant danger and there are consequences to his actions - I like that, a lot in fact.
If there's something I dislike, that'd be completely bad, hateful and irredeemable fascist villains, who are so generic and more
I'm confused, Teen Titans has Nightwing acting like a bargain bin Death Stroke but this has him acting as a bargain bin Batman.
This was alright, but I found myself counting pages.
Nightwing picks up the beat, which is good but that unnecessary nude of Dick that they tend to obsessively do bores already a little wth?. The only thing I hate is the meeting with the new Batman and this is only to raise the new Batman anticipating the rejection of some fans, it is a formula that DC has as he cannot place him with Bruce for logical reasons he will partner with Nightwing due to his fame .
Artwork was well done but the story was lacking. I find it hard to believe that the Next Batman could best Dick Grayson in hand to hand combat. Over all the book isn't as bad as the other Future State books but it isn't good either. So yet again, save your money.
