Nightwing Names the 2 Deadliest Members of the Bat-Family

Contains spoilers for Knight Terrors: Nightwing 2. Two members of the Bat-family have received incredible honors thanks to Nightwing. While trapped in a nightmare, Dick Grayson reveals which two of his allies are among Gotham’s most terrifying heroes. In Knight Terrors: Nightwing #2 by Becky Cloonan, Michael Conrad and Daniele Di Nicuolo, Dick is still trapped in the nightmare realm, and his nightmares make him a prisoner of Arkham Asylum. Nightwing can only watch helplessly as the now mechanical monster Barbara Gordon is dragged away by pig-like guards. With no other heroes to call his own, Dick must team up with Batman’s terrifying villain, the Scarecrow, to find a way out of his twisted prison.

Nightwing gets a hand-made map of the Scarecrow Asylum. Unfortunately, the layout of the refugee camp has changed, making the drawing almost useless. Scarecrow thinks about how the other members of the Bat-family are faring in captivity. Batgirls Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown are in top form. Cass, slightly bloodied, clutches Bane’s mask while Steph stares down at the ventriloquist. Scarecrow mentions how dangerous “Batgirl” is, and Dick agrees with her before the two leave the room.

Nightwing Believes the Batgirls are the Bat-Family’s Best Fighters

The DC Universe is under attack by a new human threat, Insomnia. Using the power granted to him by the Lazarus Plastic Storm on Lazarus’ planet, Insomnia casts a powerful slumber over the world, capturing heroes and villains alike. Most of the people in the DCU suffer from manifestations of their deepest fears and emotions. As for Nightwing, after being accused of killing Batman, he is imprisoned in Arkham Asylum with Gotham City’s worst villains. Luckily, it was just a bad dream and Batman is fine. But like the other movies, “Dread Riders” is a look at DC’s biggest characters. While the jury is still out on how much Dick has killed Bruce for Nightwing, Wonder Boy’s previous dream reveals an interesting idea. Of all the members of the Bat Family, Dick seems to think that Batgirl is the team’s greatest hero. After all, everything in Nightwing is in Dick’s head, which means that, on some level, he believes these beliefs to be true.

Nightwing Isn’t as Dangerous as any Batgirl

Nightwing is one of Batman’s oldest allies, and has seen many heroes prove their worth as a member of the Call-Family. He knows better than the most experienced soldiers in Batman’s crime fighting team. Between Cass’s constant training and Stephen’s improv skills, the two have undoubtedly shown Dick what they’re capable of many times (it’s more than enough for him to keep the talk. It’s in his soul). Dick thinks Batgirl is the baddest hero in the Bat-Family, no doubt about it. Fans can learn more about Dick’s thoughts on Dreadriders: Nightwing 2, which releases on August 15.
