About this Collection

Collecting the Nightwing chapters of the 2020 'Joker War' crossover event, this volume follows Dick Grayson as he contends with the Joker's assault on Gotham while still operating under the altered identity of Ric. With Barbara Gordon and the Bat-family caught in the chaos, the story pits Nightwing against Punchline and other Joker-aligned threats, culminating in a confrontation that tests his resilience and legacy as Batman's first partner.

"Wings Up" marks a pivotal moment in Nightwing’s journey, as Dick Grayson grapples with the return of his memories and the weight of his past. Dan Jurgens and artists Travis Moore and Ronan Cliquet deliver a tense, character-driven chapter where the Bat-family rallies around Dick during a fragile moment of reckoning, while KGBeast’s path crosses back into Gotham with deadly intent. Mike Perkins’ cover captures the storm of tension brewing beneath the surface.
