Description
Nightwing has black "Exo-Force Styled Hair," a light nougat, masked Head, black torso with his V logo, and blank, black Legs.
In the video games
In both LEGO Batman: The Videogame and LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Nightwing has his appearance from 7785 Arkham Asylum, but in DC Super Heroes his arms are black instead of blue.
In LEGO Batman, Nightwing armed with his escrima sticks and is able to use Robin's super suits which will change his appearance and give him extra abilities on top of his basic ones; grapple, a batarang, and acrobatics (which allow him to walk on tight ropes faster than all other characters, except for Ra's Al Ghul). The water suit gives Nightwing blue legs, a yellow oxygen tank, black flippers, and a black helmet with a red visor so that he can dive underwater and can use freeze batarangs once the upgrade is purchased. The magnet suit colours his legs and arms dark grey, attaches grey magnets to his feet, and a large, red magnet to his back. This suit allows Nightwing to walk up certain walls and the speed is increased once it is upgraded. When using the technology suit, Nightwing's legs and arms are coloured silver and two green antennas and a blinking green light are on his back. This suit allows him to activate special panels and leave behind "Nightwing" decoys after it is upgraded. Lastly, the attraction suit has Nightwing's normal costume, but with a yellow and red canister attached to the back that counts the number of loose, red, yellow, or green pieces he has picked up with the matching hose. When upgraded, this suit attracts the pieces faster and gives directions to where pieces are hidden.
Nightwing's grapple and batarang abilities return in LEGO Batman 2 and he is described as having an acrobatic fighting style. It is unknown if this is the same thing as acrobatic abilities which characters like Catwoman and Robin (while in his Acrobat suit) have. Even though Robin's super suits return, it is unknown if Nightwing is still able to use them.
Background
As a child, Dick Grayson was part of a circus act known as The Flying Graysons. One night, his parents were murdered during the act. Dick was then adopted by Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne was the alias of the superhero, Batman, who recruited Dick to become the first Robin. After years of serving as Robin, Dick grew tired of being overshadowed by Batman and chose to be a superhero, Nightwing, on his own. Through traveling the world, he gained great skills.
Like Batgirl and Huntress, Nightwing occasionally works with the Justice League which also includes Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg.
In LEGO Batman
In LEGO Batman: The Video Game, Nightwing can be purchased on consoles for 125,000 studs, making him the third most expensive character in the game behind Hush and Ra's Al Ghul.
Nightwing played no role on console versions of the game, but in Free Play served as an alternate Robin, the only difference being Nightwing walks faster on tight ropes and has different attacks.
In LEGO Batman 2
Nightwing reappears in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes with downloadable content from EB games.
Notes
- In the video game, he had the same suits as Robin, although he was not listed to have any suits at all in LEGO Batman: The Videogame Prima Guide.
- His weapons are actually lightsaber blades.
