Ric Grayson No More – Nightwing Gets His Memory Back Next Month

I mean, that's how it was looking for Nightwing, the original Robin. Dick Grayson no longer Ric Grayson, the crystal that took away his memories after the bullet to the head from the KGBeast, and created a new individual inside Dick Grayson had been taken by the Joker. We had yet another Dick Grayson in his place, one who used Barbara Gordon's own blood to look more like The Joker, which also swiftly followed a Talon version of Dick. He has been an awful lot of people recently…

Bleeding Cool had run leaked images from Batman #100 that seemed to show a traditional-looking Nightwing fighting alongside the rest if the Batman family and October's Nightwing #75 was meant to show the big reversal. But now DC Comics has confirmed it happening even sooner, talking about the Justice League Death Metal series, that it will feature Nightwing will fully restored memories – and that we will be seeing it in Justice League #53 in September, and ahead of October's expected Nightwing #75 big change.

Of course, he may have his memories back, but he is looking rather like Simon Bisley redesigned him too… but then, this is Death Metal and Liam Sharp is all over that.

DC has revealed November's Justice League covers, giving more insight into Joshua Williamson's upcoming five-issue Justice League "Doom Metal" story that ties directly in to DC's ongoing Dark Nights: Death Metal event! Beginning in Justice League #53 on September 15, "Doom Metal" will feature the first appearance of Mindhunter, a new, twisted Dark Knight who is combined with Martian Manhunter, the first appearance of Omega Knight—a Frankenstein's Monster version of the Omega Titans from Justice League: No Justice, the longtime-coming reunion of the Teen Titans: Nightwing, Cyborg, and Starfire, and more!

Nightwing has his memory back, and Cyborg and Starfire are back from the Ghost Sector, so look for deep cuts from the team's past as they rally this Justice League towards Perpetua and the Legion of Doom!

Of note, Joshua Williamson's Justice League for "Doom Metal" is Detective Chimp, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Nightwing, Cyborg, Starfire and Lex Luthor. Take a look below at the size and scope of this character-driven tie-in to Dark Nights: Death Metal!
