Combined with the mental capacity - damaging Hypnos , it ’s uncover that the lies and the distrust built up and at last broke Grayson , proving that being Robin and becoming Nightwing is his smashing destiny .
As Nightwing and his fellow Robins discover from this simulation , they ’re not just there to catch Batman and keep him from descending too far into his own dark . He ’s there to catch them as well , contribute them a true and greater purpose rather than falling into self - destructive fates ( specially in Dick ’s case).Becoming Nightwing was the best thingthat could have happened to Dick Grayson , and this simulation prove that his prison term with Spyral for Batman was a delegation that could have destroyed him had he done it for too long .
While this issue confirm that Grayson was always mean to be a hero sandwich , it also divulge that that desire could have been corrupted Dick by join the wrong mass ( direct to his wrecking ) . With Batman , Dick was given the way to be a part of something bigger while also being leave to grow and become his own valet de chambre , surpassing the missionary station of the Dark Knight and form his own purpose and identity withNightwing .
