Warning : pamperer forFuture State : Gotham # 9 !
In DC Comics’Future State , NightwingandRobinare still fighting the good fighton the streets of Gotham City , but the newfangled mogul they ’ve acquired do n’t exactly make sense for either of them . Suffice it to say , Nightwing get an intellectual upgrade and Robin getting one that levels up his muscle are great on their own , just not for the specific hero they ’ve been devote to .
prove in the continuation of last year’sFuture Stateevent , Future State : Gotham # 9 , by Dennis Culver and Giannis Milonogiannis , sees Nightwing as he give chase down a raw designer drug called “ Brane ” in a metropolis that ’s still at the mercy of the fascistic force of The Magistrate . Snagging a grip of Brane from a bargainer strain to trade it to some locals , Nightwing is suffer byTalia al Ghul , but it ’s quickly shape that her sudden arrival has nothing to do with Dick Grayson ’s budding ohmic resistance motion .

Telling Talia that he ’s only micro - dosing the Brane drug to help him accomplish an noetic edge in the field , Talia draws parallels to the Venom blood serum patent by Bane that Batman once used to gain a physical advantage against the criminal trash of Gotham City . Originally a highly addictive chemical compound , Talia explains that Brane is gain from Venom , and instead of raise the consistence , it enhance the mind , potentially grant Nightwing “ psychic abilities”should he take more of the drug , and linking Nightwing to a new business leader that would have been better off as something give to Tim Drake ’s extremely levelheaded interlingual rendition of Robin instead .
find out inFuture State’sRobin Eternalseries , Tim was shew to be pass over down the extraction of something called Lazarus Resin , and as the series progressed , is drink down by one of The Magistrate ’s cyber - soldiers . Bathed in the Resin at the moment of his death , Robin is revived as an overtake and ego - cure brawler , an upgrade that seduce far less sense for this more technical school - savvy and intellectualBat - Family memberthan it does for someone like Nightwing who ’s unremarkably held up as one of the radical ’s serious fighters .
Being a former trapeze creative person who cultivate without a net , Nightwing oftentimes bound into risk at the first provocation , whereas Tim is the de facto genius of the family , forcing fan to put some thought into whether or not these Modern powers actually make sense for the hero sandwich they ’ve been bestowed upon . Not only that , but it would clearly behoove Nightwing to become durable given his more brawler - like mentality , while Tim further increasing his intellect along with potentially getting somesweet psychic powerswould no doubt unfastened doors for his fiber that he ’s already been knocking on for decades .
So although it ’s still unclear as to how much Nightwing will utilise this new drug in his mission to save Gotham , him using it to be more cerebral while Tim has been permeate with untold amounts of strength is a head - scratching power swap that does neither character judge . NightwingandRobin ’s dangerous undertaking in DC ’s far - off future may still be ongoing , but swapping the powers they ’ve received could have made this story even more interesting as they seek to save the city they love .
