NIGHTWING #102: That Kryptonian Legend
I have occasionally mentioned how in the Post-Crisis DC Universe, Dick Grayson got the idea of the Nightwing name from Superman. Superman told him about a Kryponian legend. I was wondering if that would be used in NIGHTWING #0, but it wasn't. (There wasn't anything on Dick going from Robin to Nightwing.)
So, here are the pages from NIGHTWING #102 where Dick visits Metropolis after Batman fires him as Robin.
Two bombers are attacking the presidents motorcade in Metropolis. Superman gets one, Dick (in a hoodie) goes after the other.
Some days you just can't rid of a bomb.
Going from Byrne's MAN OF STEEL, it was Lois Lane who made Clark take "this route." She called him Superman and everything. It is actually a part of the Superman mythos most people don't mention: Clark Kent wears blue tights and a red cape in order to maintain a sense of privacy.
I dig the MAN OF STEEL Kryptonian green and black look for the "original" Nightwing.
"Nightwing."
"I like it."
Post-Crisis, the Fortress was built (or moved to Earth from the Phantom Zone) by the Eradiactor AI, who always had this "Kal-El isn't behaving like a true Kryptonian" problem with Superman.
Still, it does give Superman a little piece of home. This leads to Dick going back to Haley's Circus.
That part of the issue ends with Lois and Clark talking about hockey, the Daily Planet headline asking who Superman's "new sidekick" is, and Clark snarking that Dick is little young for Lois to be interested in.

Clark heating the Earl Grey with his heat vision is awesome. I love it when he does stuff like that. :)
"I reckon." Kryptonian he may be, but there's a lot of human in him, too. :)
Dick never told anyone that he thought he'd be Batman someday but tells Clark. Nice. :)
This is just fantastic all around! :)
