* AdaptationalVillainy: Acheron is an evil demon.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Nightwing with [[ComicBook/Batgirl2011 Barbara Gordon]].
* CartwrightCurse: Dick's love interests haven't been very lucky. Two women that Dick has slept with have died (one within the same issue she was introduced). Another love interest was the target of an attempted assassination. And then there's [[ComicBook/Batgirl2011 Barbara Gordon]], who has been going through a TraumaCongaLine in her own book.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Nightwing's portrayal here shows him as somewhat more violent than before, and his costume is now [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black]] instead of black and blue, although this ''does'' have the benefit of putting all four of the Robins in red.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Not evil actually, but in the New 52, his black and blue changed to black and red, reflecting his more anti-heroic nature. Which, ironically enough, looks kind of like the Robin costume from ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', albeit without the cape.
* HijackedByGanon:
** The opening arc, where Nightwing is being hunted by Saiko and inherits Haly's Circus before finding a mysterious ledger with his name in it, was revealed to part of the ''Night of the Owls'' storyline that had been building in ''Detective Comics'' as it turned out [[spoiler:Haly's Circus had routinely given a child to the Court of Owls to become a Talon, and Dick was being groomed to be next in line before his parents died]].
** The overarching plot of Dick setting out to rejuvenate the Amusement Mile in Gotham with Haly's Circus as the centrepiece, was brought to an end thanks to ''ComicBook/DeathOfTheFamily'' (Which saw [[spoiler:Joker attack the circus to get at Nightwing in part of his larger plan to destroy Batman]]) and the subsequent and unrelated [[spoiler:death of Robin]].
* MissedTheCall: Turns out Dick missed a ''villainous'' call in his backstory. [[spoiler:The Court of Owls wanted to make Dick into a Talon, but Bruce adopting him on the eve of his parents' deaths put him out of their reach.]]
* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: Issue #30 is very clearly meant to serve as one to the ''Grayson'' ongoing, giving the context for the series. That, and it in no way relates to the previous arcs, and it's the ''last issue''.
* RedemptionFailure: In the New 52 universe Anthony Zucco actually does try to turn his life around to be a good role model for his son Brian......then he learns that his wife and son left him and he decides to embrace being evil.
* ShockStick: Nightwing's Escrima sticks are now electrified, similar to their use in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity''.
* TheUnmasking: In ''ComicBook/ForeverEvil2013'' #1, Nightwing is promptly beaten to a pulp and publicly unmasked as Dick Grayson in a show of force by the Crime Syndicate. For some reason, this does not cause the rest of the Batfamily's identities to be revealed despite their close connections in and out of costume.
