DC Comics announced today that Tom Taylor’s final arc on Nightwing will begin in May with Nightwing #114. The arc will be titled “Fallen Grayson.” The arc will bring the sabotage from Heartless to an end. Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo, the original creative team in Taylor’s Nightwing run, will bring this season of Dick Grayson’s legacy to a close. From the press release:
On May 21, within the pages of DC’s Nightwing comic book series, the Eisner Award-winning duo of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo reunite to tell Nightwing’s greatest story yet. In Nightwing #114, the beginning of a five-part arc, the culmination of Heartless’s sabotage on Nightwing reaches its dramatic climax when Nightwing loses his ability to leap, impeding his duties to be the Super Hero we know and love.
“When Bruno Redondo and I first took on this series, we felt it was the perfect time for a big Nightwing story,” Tom Taylor said in the press release. “We wanted to show the world why Dick Grayson was an A-lister in our eyes. It was the right time for a charming, entertaining, positive force for good pushing back against corruption and greed. It was also time for Dick and Babs to get a puppy.”
As the name of the arc suggest, Taylor and Redondo are looking to bring the beloved character to a low point.
Bruno and I wanted to put Nightwing on a pedestal. We wanted to show how high this flying Grayson could soar. Now, it’s time for him to fall.
“It will make many people sad, but it’ll also build,” Redondo mentioned in the release. “One last ride, full Tom and Bruno. If we are gonna end this (and every long arc needs to find its end), we are gonna make it in a big way.”
Nightwing #114 releases May 21, 2024 at comic shops everywhere and digitally. As always, visit The Batman Universe for all of your news and reviews in the world of Batman.
