after reading this issue, i wonder if nightwing is now a purely covert hero and not a public one.

i remember that greg had said that dick grayson's robin was a public hero/sidekick just like aqualad, kid flash and rocket. however, superboy, miss m, artemis and zatanna were unknown to the public as heroes.

now in this issue after nightwing introduced himself and wonder girl to jaime, jaime said that he never heard of them, to which nightwing replied "good". which makes me wonder if nightwing is an unknown hero and if dick became nightwing in order to get out of the public eye as robin so that he could focus on purely covert missions with the team, since greg said that he and batman did not have a falling out like in the comics.

there had to be some reason why he left the robin persona behind and it can't be because he just got older, because aqualad, kid flash, and superboy all kept their codenames.

of course, it could just come down to that jaime doesn't keep up with superhero news. idk.
