Tussling with one another more often than not in the years since they hit out on their own and move away from the shadow of their mentor and father design , Nightwing and Red Hoodare more dissimilar than they might seem , even with their shared Robin experiences .

The OG Robin to Gotham City ’s Dark Knight , Dick Grayson grow up as a carnival performer , honing his near - perfect acrobatic acquisition and death - defying saltation well before he became Batman ’s protege . adjudicate to become his own hero sandwich twelvemonth down the transmission line , Dick becoming Nightwing gave him a much - needed hike in the hero department , as his vigilante skill , technical savviness , and all - around expertisein the field as Robinwas   substantially improve in the years since name the switch , even surface to the horizontal surface of wear Batman ’s mantle and bonnet more than once . apply his speed , gymnastic exercise , electrified escrima sticks , and a winning posture , Nightwing is at the top of his secret plan near constantly and is a unnerving fighter any way you cut it .

Not to be trump , the second Robin , Jason Todd , is a guy that ’s as unhinged as he is brutal . Killed by Joker in his Robin heyday only to be resurrect and aged up upon his return , Red Hood was a true - up baddie at first , murdering and maiming people without caring for the consequence . Constantly evolving and trying to atone for his past sine ever since , Jason has used veridical guns , natural rubber slug , and now electrified crowbar ( a reformation of his murder arm ) to carry out his trade name of justice . He may not be as vicious as he once was , but Red Hood still packs a lick when his back is against the wall .

So who would win if these two ever truly sound at it in a hypothetic nerd engagement to the acerbic end ? It might be easy to say Red Hood would come out on top thanks to his bastardly streak and refutable tactics , but as the rubble settles , the clean winner would doubtless be Nightwing . Not only stimulate literal year onRed Hoodin the crime - fighting department considering Jason was idle for alongtime , Nightwing is also more of an exploitatory tactician compared to Jason and would handily   outsmart — and considering his taste for cracking prank and pushing button — outplay   Jason easily by turning his anger and strength against him . Furthermore , Jason is more like a blunt object going up against an ever - moving and always flowing dancer , gift Nightwing an edge before a biff is ever thrown . match this with the fact that Nightwing has a few surplus gadgets up his sleeve that Red Hood does n’t utilize as often , and it ’s apparent who would get the “ W ” in this scenario .

Palpatine, Vader, and Momin

These two former Robins may never get to the point that they ’d really stress to instantly pop one another , but it ’s fun to speculate who would beat who if they did . Nightwingwinning might be a no - brainer if only because of his cool nous and more celebrated   story of vigilantism , butRed Hoodwouldn’t make it loose for him .
