Marv Wolfman blogs his master plan for Dick Grayson:
The trick to Nightwing is giving him purpose and drive. Because the murder of his parents was resolved quickly he never developed the rigid obsession that has motivated Batman. His motivation comes from the pursuit of justice. But maybe something happened between the last days of the first run of Teen Titans when he disbanded that group for reasons we will learn, and the first issue of the New Teen Titans where he returned to the fold more grown up and less a kid sidekick than he ever had been before. Coincidentally, it’s also a year where he wasn’t with Batman 7/27. Something changed him then, and now that something has returned. And as I say, if what happens in our second Bride & Groom story lights the fuse, our third storyline is where everything in Dick’s life is going to explode.

More explosions in Nightwing’s life? Please, don’t let that be writer code for more emo-angst.
It is good to hear that Marv has plans to write stories about Dick being Nightwing, though, and not just serialize Dick’s love-life.
