Dick Grayson’s life as Nightwing begins to unravel as his fight to protect the crime-ridden city of Blüdhaven escalates into a brutal and deeply personal war.
As the ruthless crime lord Blockbuster tightens his grip on the city, Nightwing pushes himself further than ever before to stop him, but each step forward comes with greater consequences, to his life and reputation. Faced with mounting losses, dangerous alliances, and choices that test his moral code, Dick is forced to confront the limits of what he can endure—and what he’s willing to sacrifice.
Set against the backdrop of major Gotham events including “War Games,” as well as “Nightwing: Year One,” this is the defining retelling of Dick Grayson’s transformation from Robin into Nightwing, offering crucial insight to the path that led him here.
