Nightwing's daddy issues rear their head.
Warning: SPOILERS for Knight Terrors: Nightwing #2 Even after reconciling most of their differences, Nightwing may still be harboring a deadly grudge against his father figure, Batman. The two vigilantes are like family to each other, but that doesn't stop Dick Grayson from resenting his mentor's long shadow — and now one nightmare suggests that he secretly wants to kill Batman once and for all.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This secret desire is revealed by none other than Scarecrow in Knight Terrors: Nightwing #2 by Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad, Daniele Di Nicuolo, Adriano Lucas, and Wes Abbott. Nightwing is trapped in a nightmare in which he's been imprisoned in Arkham Asylum after killing Batman.
"A part of you liked it," says Crane as Nightwing begins to escape the nightmare realm. "That time you got to kill Daddy." His narration goes on to suggest that there's a "thin margin between dread and desire."Nightwing Has a Complicated History with Batman Nightwing — along with other Bat-Family members and much of the rest of the DC Universe — has been trapped in a nightmare realm by the new villain Insomnia.
Despite his generally cheerful nature, Nightwing is no stranger to anger, and he has been known to lash out at those who've wronged him. Even though Scarecrow is the one who calls out Dick's desire to "kill Daddy," the accusation rings true, and many of these Knight Terrors dreams have reflected the darkest parts of DC's heroes.
Nightwing Is Ready to Step Out of Batman's Shadow That Nightwing wants to kill Batman in his dreams only proves that Dick Grayson has a fraught relationship with his father, Bruce Wayne. To "kill" one's father can also serve as a metaphor for shaking off a parent's influence, after all, and Nightwing — as opposed to Grayson or even Robin — has wanted to step out of Batman's shadow since his Teen Titan days.
