Canon Nightwing Fun Facts: Part Seven

From someone reading Nightwing from Rebirth to Current

-Nightwing is chasing some goons who kidnapped Hayley and some random citizen tells him to take their bike because Nightwing saved his parents once

-Wally and Mr Terrific gift Nightwing a new suit that’ll work better under civilian clothes because after Dick announces that he’s starting up The Alfred Pennyworth Foundation, he has a 10mil bounty put on his head

-I don’t know why I didn’t add this in earlier parts, but Dick essentially says that if soulmates exists, then Barbara Gordon is the closest thing that he has to a soulmate

-He opens up a place called Haven, a place for the less fortunate of Blüdhaven. It has everything from a library, to basketball courts, little shops, free pizza and cafés, free public transportation, etc. And sports a statue of Alfred that reads “it takes a different hero to help without a mask.” Bruce shows up for opening day with Ace. And Dick asked Superman (Jon Kent) to be a special guest to officially open Haven.

-In Nightwing #93 he accidentally tells Barbara that he loves her and it looks like he just accidentally let out his entire life’s worth of secrets

- he has a fifth dimensional imp version of himself who calls himself Nite-Mite. He shows up as Ric Grayson to help him save a little girl named Olivia (who’s father is blockbuster and promised her soul to Neron.)

I love how he admits he keeps an ear out for Bruce and how Lois is the one calling him out on it.

No way Bruce doesn’t have a collection of bat stuffed animals. Like Justice League secret santa (“secret” as if he didn’t detective who had him Day One) bat stuffed animal is the go-to. Like maybe he just leaves them in the guest rooms. Especially after he started bringing the kids to the watchtower, the quantity of bat themed stuffies skyrocketed.

An Observation on Current Jaime and Confiding in People

The beautiful thing about Jaime Reyes? He's no stranger to opening up and being honest with how he feels.

Oh the wonders of growing up in a healthy and loving household!

But it is interesting to see that recently, as the weight of Jaime's responsibilities and actions increases, as things continue to change, we see Jaime withdraw into himself more and more and needing to be promoted by others to open up.

And see, the impulse is to be like, “Well Jaime has always talked to his family in the original run, he should always be open and honest with them," which yes! Jaime never was and still isn't a closed off person. Like ask him how he's feeling and he'll most likely open up.

BUT I personally enjoy the idea that as Jaime falls deeper and deeper into this life of heroing, as he gets older, it becomes more difficult to talk about certain things without being afraid that his friends and family will see him differently. Perhaps he feels like he has to “grow up" now and stand on his own, instead of allowing himself to lean on others, like you would as a child when things got scary or confusing and you would look to your guardian for help.

It can take time to realize that yes, even as an adult, you ARE allowed to seek support and lean on others when things get tough, but striking the balance of being independent and knowing when you need help takes time and a lot of self exploration. And well, Jaime's still young! And honestly experiencing SO MUCH at once.

So when it was revealed that Jaime hadn't told his parents yet about what happened to the Blood Scarab:

It was both, surprising and NOT surprising. Like not only is that NOT the kind of conversation you can have over the phone, but it's a stomach churning thing to reveal. It's the kind of thing that makes your blood run cold because YOU KNOW your parents. You know their beliefs. And while Bianca and Alberto would never stop loving Jaime or shame him for what happened...

... it's likely difficult for Jaime to see this. He's probably deeply afraid that his family will see him differently. That they'll be disappointed or worse, be afraid of him.

Because how can their heroic son do such a thing? When he would NEVER compromise his beliefs? ... Right?

He's probably scared, despite being assured time and time again that they'll always love him, he can always come to them for anything, and he'll always be their son above all else. That they know Jaime is a good person. Alberto and Bianca understand the nature of making mistakes, and what matters is that you tried your best, and what you do after.

And perhaps to those reading this, it would be considered OOC for Jaime to be afraid of his parents' reactions. Bianca and Alberto have never done anything to make Jaime doubt for a second that they would ever stop loving him, yet emotions can be illogical and I would say that Jaime is probably afraid of the weight of this revelation.

Because the reality is that it's not an easy pill to swallow. Killing the Blood Scarab when there could have been another way? Learning that there is no way to control Khaji Da because they aren't a thing, but a living being with their own impulses and fears?

God, who the hell WOULDN'T be afraid of sharing something so haunting that it could potentially shift how someone sees you?? ESPECIALLY when it's your parents who you love and look up to. Like you don't want to let them down, y'know?

And so as Jaime sinks deeper and deeper into this life, as he's faced with crazier enemies and even more difficult situations, it's probably going to get even harder for Jaime to talk about these things with his family.

BUT, I don't think Jaime will ever fully shut out his loved ones because he is too loved and cared about for his family to allow it. They know him, and they can tell when something is wrong. They might have to poke and prod, but it doesn't take much for Jaime to open up. And Jaime loves his family and friends too much to lose them. It may take some time for Jaime to work through this fear, but with support, he'll find the courage to seek support!

So yeah! I love that Jaime is both willing to go to people and talk about how he's feeling, while also having the cat-like tendency to slink away when it's something REALLY difficult or painful to talk about. Like most people haha!

And that's the post! If you have read this far, thank you so much for reading!! I appreciate it! ♡
