Back in blue, the latest hit NIGHTWING series is now collected in NIGHTWING: THE REBIRTH DELUXE EDITION BOOK 1! Dick Grayson is his name. Heroism is his one true calling. To heed that call, heÕs worn many faces. He was the first Robin and a replacement Batman, a superspy and a dead man walking. But the greatest of the masks heÕs worn into battle against evil is the one he created himselfÑthe one heÕs just won a hard-fought battle to take back. HeÕs Nightwing. And heÕs returned to reclaim the streets of the cities he loves. From Gotham City to his adopted home of BlŸdhaven, Nightwing is taking the war on crime personallyÑand heÕs taking it right to the enemy. The all-powerful Court of Owls and their rogue agent Raptor. The old foes out for his blood and the new serial killer framing him for crimes he didnÕt commit. Even his mentor, the Dark Knight, and his longtime love interest Barbara Gordon, a.k.a. Batgirl, wonÕt stand in his way. Now more than ever, the night belongs to Nightwing! Discover the start of an all-new saga in the life of one of comicsÕ greatest heroes in NIGHTWING: THE REBIRTH DELUXE EDITION BOOK ONE, from the creative team of Tim Seeley, Javier Fernandez, Marcus To and Chris SotomayorÑexploding from the pages of the blockbuster DC: UNIVERSE REBIRTH event!

“BETTER THAN BATMAN” Chapter One Batman taught Nightwing everything he knows—but what if everything he taught him is wrong? When Dick is stuck with a new mentor who challenges everything Batman taught him, Nightwing has to shatter his concept of justice in order to fight for what he knows is right. Writer Tim Seeley (GRAYSON, BATMAN & ROBIN ETERNAL) launches Nightwing onto a new quest alongside rising talent Javier Fernandez (RED HOOD/ARSENAL).

This special Nightwing issue is ONE CONTINUOUS IMAGE! That's right-if you placed every page next to each other, you'll have one poster image with this story! Now that billionaire Dick Grayson has publicly dedicated his funds to save Blüdhaven, he's a wanted man-and that's why he finds hired killers breaking in to steal his dog, Haley!

Following the events of "Nightwing Must Die," Nightwing has returned to Blüdhaven and after an encounter with a criminal is feeling like a lesser super hero without having powers. The Flash (Wally West) comes to Blüdhaven to get out of Titans Tower, spend a night fighting crime like they used to and try his best to not think about anything involving Barry Allen or Linda. The duo's night is interrupted, though, by a new villain named Timebomb who has the ability to create stasis fields that freeze time and allow him to commit large crimes. And this device allows him to fight the Flash effortlessly. Nightwing and Flash have to beat him and they have to find out where his time freezing equipment came from.

“FACING DESTINY!” In this single-issue tale, Nightwing is being attacked in his dreams by Dr. Destiny, and the only person who can help him is Superman! But following Nightwing’s confrontation with Raptor and the aftermath of “Night of the Monster Men,” can Nightwing trust a Superman he doesn’t know-or will his lack of trust get them both killed?!

“RAPTOR’S REVENGE” finale! With Nightwing injured, Raptor attempts to turn the citizens of Blüdhaven into monsters. It will take everything Nightwing has to stop Raptor. Will his rocky alliance with Blockbuster stand long enough to take down Raptor, or will Nightwing be forced to take down his two greatest foes alone?

“BETTER THAN BATMAN” part two! Nightwing and his new mentor Raptor embark on their first assignment for the Parliament of Owls. Will Raptor prove himself a superior mentor for Nightwing? Or will they both fall prey to the fangs of Kobra?
