Nightwing is the solo-code name of Richard "Dick" Grayson, the first [[Robin (Comic Book)|Robin]]. After years of training under [[Batman]] the Then-a-Teen Boy Wonder decided that, as the image quote says, "A man's got to go his own way". Thanks to the nature of Comic Book Continuity, this was either after a long over-due fight with Batman where Bruce fired Dick, Dick quit, or they happily shook hands, acknowledged the need to grow up, and shared some Alfred-made Bat-cocoa. In any case, Richard came upon the name Nightwing after hearing the tale of a Batman & Robin-esque pair of Kryptonian vigilantes from [[Superman]] named Nightwing & Flamebird. Taking the name, he made his debut in ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' during the Judas Contract story-line. The Nightwing persona debuted in ''Tales of the Teen Titans'' #44 (July, 1984)
 
Eventually he was given his own self titled series. A 4-issue Nightwing mini-series turned up in 1995 and was well-received. An ongoing naturally followed. Lasting for 153 issues, from October, 1996 to April, 2009. ''Nightwing'' was a series starring Dick Grayson, the original [[Batman|Robin]], graduated to become protector of Gotham's neighboring city of Bludhaven. The series was initially written by [[Chuck Dixon]]. Quite well received, it started creating a Rogues Gallery for Dick Grayson and helped distinguish Nightwing's solo methodology from Batman's own. The series was eventually taken over by Devin Grayson.
