Ric Grayson

After suffering a traumatic gunshot wound to the head, Dick Grayson lost his memories of his life as a hero. Operating under the name Ric Grayson, he struggled to forge a new identity, disconnected from his past as Nightwing.

Born from one of DC's most daring creative swings of the Modern Age, Ric Grayson emerged in 2018's Nightwing #50 — the product of a Gotham-shaking moment that left a familiar legacy hero reforged into something startlingly new. Created by Benjamin Percy, Travis Moore, and Chris Mooneyham, this version of the character navigates a world populated by the likes of Bruce Wayne, Batgirl, and Nightwing himself, making his corner of the DC universe feel both intimate and charged with tension. His appearances stretch across Nightwing, DCeased Omnibus, and Nightwing: The Joker War, marking him as a figure tied to some genuinely consequential Modern Age storytelling. If you're drawn to comics that aren't afraid to shake the foundation of an iconic legacy, Ric Grayson is a fascinating, polarizing chapter well worth exploring.
