Nightwing (2016) (Single Issues)
Nightwing #76
One bullet robbed Nightwing of his memories and identity. One bullet erased Dick Grayson and replaced him with Ric Grayson. Now, with Dick’s true identity returned, KGBeast is back with one last bullet for him. Using Bea as bait, KGBeast has made it abundantly clear that this one last bullet isn’t intended for Nightwing’s head-this one is aiming to puncture his broken heart!

Unfortunately, Nightwing is right back to where he was before the single: with his memories and, though it breaks my heart, single. The main point of this issue was to break up any hope of a relationship between Dick and Bea. In story, the justification is that Bea, as a civilian, is just safer without a cape hanging around her life, and this...isn't wrong. Just in this issue, Bea gets taken hostage and nearly killed by KGBeast, an assassin who would have been nowhere near her if Nightwing hadn't led him right to her. Plus, Batman spent basically all his scenes right before that happened arguing that a 'normal' relationship is impossible for someone in their field (read: a cape).
On the other hand: this sucks. I really like Bea; she's an excellent character who encourages Dick to self-reflect and is one of the few people he's close (or, was close to, now) to that's not a cape. Other reviewers have pointed out that Nightwing has had relationships with civilians before, so Bea should be no different. If the issue is her safety, let her decide what is and is not too much for her. It's not only Dick's decision, especially when he's lying about his feelings and memories in the process. Even taking basic precautions - like NOT WALKING INTO HER BAR WHILE WEARING THE NIGHTWING COSTUME - would do a lot to insulate her from those would see her as an achilles heel.
I'm not happy with this issue. I hope Barbara - or anybody, really - manages to catch this and clear it up, though I don't have real high hopes. It is, after all, a lot easier to shiptease Dick with practically every female cape he comes across when he's not already in a committed relationship with someone he loves.

Wait a second, what just happened? This book had some nice action, especially with how Dick’s athleticism is drawn. Dick’s facial features weren’t great, though Bea’s were.
But the whole point of this book was for Dick to break up with Bea, by lying to her about his feelings. Why would he do that? What is going on? Dick has been in relationships with other non-superheroes before, why does Bea get this treatment? And then he’s crying at the end, when he’s been such a jerk to her? Nah, man, I don’t think this author understands Dick or the Bat family at all.
Also, I’m confused. Is Dick opening the door to the Nightwings again. He seems to be telling Hutch that with the right training, Hutch can fight alongside him. I just don’t know why there’s so much see sawing in this series.

I'm so glad Ric and the whole amnesia saga are over. I enjoy seeing Nightwing's humanity on display even as he's fighting, and his attempts to be different from Batman, and we get all of the above in issue 76. Plus, a new team may be on the horizon? I feel bad for Bea, though. I've never understood that line of thinking. It's not like a memo goes out to all the bad guys. Once a target, always a target. It's a cheap & overused way out.
