Nightwing #3 preview - Courtesy of Time Out Chicago

Again, full marks to DC Comics for creative marketing.

Since Issue 3 of Nightwing is SET in Chicago, they've released a seven page preview through the Time Out Chicago webpage, which includes a nice little primer for those unfamiliar with Nightwing as a character. It's a pretty nifty idea.


The first page I put in because it's one of those multi-image tracking shots which work particularly well with acrobatic characters like Dick



And the second because we see Dick at the mercy of his natural enemy, no not Sylph, but Feedback, whose power appears to be what I can only term as "angst manipulation".



Interestingly that appears to be Jason's Robin costume (based on the cover for that Red Hood issue) and I assume that those are his circus colleagues on the right...

They probably made it red/black to reference the eventual Batman Beyond character.

Except Batman Beyond had nothing to do with Dick Grayson. And since they already have the red on black for their actual Batman Beyond comic, and Batwoman and to a lesser extent Red Robin, adding ANOTHER one in. who had a perfectly decent, and unique in the Batclan, colourscheme already, the choice of red still baffles me from every POV.

Also, red DOES pop more than blue by its very nature...

Against a pale background perhaps, but I still don't see how dark red can be said to "pop" more compared to light blue, when the contrast is against a much darker colour.
