my biggest hot take is that, while it has aged poorly and has certainly heavily misrepresented characters like babs down the stretch, IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT CONTINUITY AND AT THE TIME OF ITS RELEASE, tt’s nightwing had the vibes needed for the series

#call me oracle speaks #like i do not think people realize how baddddd the ric era was #looking back on it now #it was 2 years basically without the titular character of the series LEADING the title #the main joker war arc was generally disliked except for how they finally brought back dick #most people didn’t even like how they did THAT #and what else was there in the batfamily to latch onto?#rebirth batgirl was ending #same with rhato #there was a new robin solo coming but only on the back of literally the worst 4 years of damian’s life #where he brainwashed the titans into working with him #his brother hated him and had amnesia for two years #and bane snapped alfred’s neck in front of him #and mainline batman wasn’t doing so hot either!#we’d just finished the king run and were in the middle of city of bane and just kinda flopping around #where better to start a new nightwing run with positive vibes to combat the rest of the darkness going on in gotham at the time
