A nice alternative to the FF version (as we have yet to see the main set), cheaper but with a different role. The FF (and anniversary edition) mainly had the leadership going for them, but this is a different kind of support piece, offering the police TA and enhancement top dial, then switching back and forth with outwit. I enjoy seeing acrobats with plasticity, something I think fits right in here. The attack values are a little low, but overall he is nice for the points, as a second-string attacker/support unit
Better not be steaming my clams, or things will not end well for you
I'm loving this dial! Traited Combat Reflexes is insane (in the best kinda way!) and totally fits the character. I miss the Batman team ability, but love that we're getting a Nightwing with the PD team ability. The fact that he gets Enhancment with that Police team ability is just crazy good for helping out your team. Really, all the powers fit the character rather perfectly and he's costed quite well. This has to be my favorite Nightwing dial I've seen
Doesn't have the same "flare" the other Nightwing has, and I would have preferred to have some stealth or even Batman TA as well as the Police TA for some more points. Now for Police teams he will be the first or second target as you will be wanting to get him out of the way, so team him up with Com Gordon from DKR to share out a nice 18 defense!
Will try him out before I fully dismiss him but initial reaction is so so.
Police TA and Enhancement are cool. I like that it's a Nightwing that brings something different to the table. But for 85 points the attack values drop quickly and doesn't have any Stealth to help protect him. He will get dropped quickly from range.
With costs so close, you can't help but compare this Nightwing to the 10th Anniversary one, and this one comes up short. Sure, this one has range where the other one doesn't, but it lacks Stealth. It's nice to get CR on top of Toughness and Willpower, but AV are lower than the 10th. You get the clicks of Outwit sooner on this one, but I'd rather have the 10th's Perplex rather than the Enhancement here. And while it's nice getting the Batman Family keyword, the 10th has the leg up with the "Leader on Any Team" Trait. I hope there is a better Nightwing in the regular set...

there just has been a ton of dick in the last few sets, i am not sure this has enough to differentiate it, i guess the PD TA is nice, the toughness CR combos is always good, but less so without bat ally. i guess i wish there was a greater spread in their point values.
The universe is governed by a tendency toward disorder, we refer to the quantification of that tendency as Entropy Boston Heroclix
I wish he had stealth, but it is kind of refreshing to have a Batman Family character without it. I'll give him a try with the police car, should be fun.
