* KinkySpanking: In #16, while making out with Shawn, Dick gets a call on his radio about a crime, and makes a joke that he has to go "Spank some badguys". Shawn then remarks "I've been bad, too", [[CasualKink making Dick promise to save some for her when he get's back]]. Of course we don't get to ''see'' this.

* BittersweetEnding: The first arc ends with Grayson finally defeating most of the criminal leaders of Bludhaven and [[spoiler:Raptor (who passes away due to injuries)]], and outsmarting Blockbuster. However, his relationship with Shawn is over with her specifically telling Dick that "he can call the Defacer [for help], but cannot call Shawn" with the rest of the Run-Off now having a less-than positive opinion of Dick due to the death of one of their members. Add to that the man Dick is named after became a treacherous criminal [[spoiler:and passed away after their final battle]].

* AmicableExes: Both Barbara and Kori are friendly with Dick, and are supportive of his new relationship with Shawn Tsang. Shawn herself, in Seeley's last issue, makes it clear that she wants Dick to be happy, and their final break-up is ultimately down to things in their lives making a working relationship too difficult, rather than an issue with one-another.



** Taken to its tragic conclusion [[spoiler: With the revelation that Mary named Dick after Raptor or should I say Richard.]]
* MrFanservice: Downplayed compared to Comicbook/{{Grayson}}, but it's more present in the Blüdhaven arc, which focuses more on his personal life (and his romances). Also, because he's drawn by Marcus To, who likes making his characters very pretty.

Also, because he's drawn by Marcus To, who likes making his characters very pretty. This doesn't stop when Seeley leaves, as Dick finds a job as a personal trainer (and thus, has more time showing him exercising), and at one point pretends to be a male stripper in order to get past security.
* MsFanservice: Shawn, to a lesser extent than Dick, when the two start dating. Though she's initially presented as a cute tomboy, once the two are together there's many scenes of her in her underwear or casual short-shorts, and she begins donning a new Defacer costume, one that's a leotard that shows off her figure more.

Not a Breakout Character just for that, and Priest loves using politically-heavy characters. ALSO, he used disliked characters in that same run.

Also, for being a good Romani character who actively embraces his heritage and encourages Dick to do the same. Already, he's guest starring in Comicbook/{{Deathstroke|Rebirth}}, despite being around for less than a year.

* LetsYouAndHimFight: Lampshaded. Raptor attacks Nightwing in the first issue, but in the second, he says he's trying to relate to him, since [[InvokedTrope this is how superhero first meetings tend to go anyway]].
-->'''Raptor:''' Hey, wait! I was just trying to relate to you on your level. Isn't that how it works in the ''superhero'' crowd? Fight, then team up?\\
'''Nightwing:''' (''InnerMonologue'') Sigh. But then again, Batman has fought every friend and ally at least once... his and Superman's fights are their versions of getting a beer and talking about sports.

** The title of the third arc, "Nightwing Must Die!", ''isn't'' just a generic title. It's a callback to "Batman and Robin Must Die!", the final arc of Grant Morrison's run on ''Batman and Robin'', which "Nightwing Must Die" borrows ''heavily'' from.
