3.0

Nightwing gets better with the 2nd volume, even if it's still not a homerun.

Unlike most people I see reviewing, I much perfer the first two issues here. The court of owls is one of the best things to happen to Batman and it helps elevate Nightwing's story. Giving personal issues + some fantastic fight scenes thanks to the art, the first two parter is brutal and exciting. I also loved the twist with the grandpa.

Now the second half isn't bad just tad bit boring at times. We have a new villain who is using his powers to manupulate people and trick a cop into going against Dick. It's a classic villain vs hero story with a so/so ending.

Overall, good but not great. Least it's better than volume 1. A 3 out of 5.
