!Tropes in ''Nightwing (Infinite Frontier)'':

* GenerationXerox: The back up story "Son of Gray" is set in 13th century Normandy, where a young Romani, the son of a travelling merchant named Gray, seeks revenge on his father's killer wearing a "mask" made from the ashes of their caravan, a surcoat from a murdered guard which happens to bear the device of a black eagle, and weilding a spear broken in half as a weapon.

* MeaningfulEcho: In issue #93, Commissioner [=MacLean=] mockingly tells Dick that he "may need to accept that you're not be in control of every situation" after he and his force overrun Haven in response to vandalism they caused incognito. When [[spoiler:Dick has Oracle reveal footage that implicates the Commissioner and his force in the vandalization]], the Commissioner has a VillainousBreakdown and demands to know how he got the footage at, leading Dick to throw his words back at him.

** In issue #111 [[spoiler: apparently faked a Heartless murder to confuse the investigation, and is sent into utter panic when he realises that the apparent resurfacing of Nightwing's archenemy has attracted the attention of Nightwing.]]

* DidntThinkThisThrough: In issue #93, Heartless confronts Blockbuster, demanding that he give control of Bludhaven to him so he can destroy the hope Dick is giving the city. Blockbuster responds by launching his desk at him, knocking him out of his building through the window.

** The 2022 Annual deepens this flashback's dramatic irony with the reveal that [[spoiler: one of these bullies would become Heartless. In other words, his first clash with the Bat Family actually occurred years earlier and neither party's aware of it. It also establishes that Heartless sees Nightwing as an almost irrelevant obsticle to the person he ''really'' wants to destroy -- Dick Grayson.]]

* AmicableExes: Defied. Sawyer is ''very'' curt towards Batwoman, still stinging after their aborted marriage attempted.

* ContinuitySnarl: In #101, Amanda Waller shows up when a body is discovered at the ruins of Titans Academy and is depicted as her iconic heavy-set self. However, ''ComicBook/LazarusPlanet'' confirms she’s still on Earth-3 and ''ComicBook/DarkCrisis'' showed her as skinnier. Unless there’s two Wallers now…

* CreatorCameo: Editor Jessica Chen is drawn into #87, rollerblading down the streets of Bludhaven. Some fans jokingly gave her hell for not trying to rescue the dog-napped Haley. Also, issue #90 features a cameo from Taylor himself, standing on a street with some other pedestrians.

* SecretlyWealthy: Alfred. Due to the Wayne Industries stocks he received and a lot of well-made investments, Alfred was actually a ''billionaire'' himself. Dick asks the obvious question:
-->'''Dick:''' Why would a billionaire make me sandwiches and do my washing?\\
'''Barbara:''' For the same reason a billionaire would fight crime in Gotham. It's what he ''wanted'' to do.

-->'''Nightwing:''' I'm not letting you shoot a ''puppy'' in the ''head''--in my experience, the next thing you know, the dog will have lost its memory and be driving a cab. And with or without amnesia, a dog shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car.

* TheyDo: Dick and Barbara get back together again after sharing a kiss before Dick's speech to the city of Blüdhaven.

** The 2022 Annual deepens this flashback's dramatic irony with the reveal that [[spoiler: one of these bullies would become Heartless. In other words, his first clash with the Bat Family actually occurred years earlier and neither party's aware of it.]]

* OnceMoreWithClarity: The 2022 Annual reveals Heartless [[spoiler:actually first appeared way back in the flashback opening of ''Nightwing'' #78. He was one of the bullies attacking the kid who the then-teen Dick and Barbara intervened to protect.]]

* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: While a legitimate anniversary issue,. ''Nightwing'' #100 is also very much ''Titans'' #0, serving to set up Taylor and Nicola Scott's upcoming ''Dawn of DC'' relaunch.

* {{Crossover}}: Issue #89 is the first half of a two-part crossover with Taylor's pther ongoing title, ''ComicBook/SupermanSonOfKalEl''.

* CListFodder / BackForTheDead: [[spoiler: In issue #89, Risk of Dan Jurgens' ''Teen Titans'' run becomes a victim of the Rising.]]

* TakeUpMySword: In issue #100, with the League disbanded after the events of ''ComicBook/DarkCrisis'', Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman ask Dick to help protect the world while they decide how to adjust the League. In turn, Dick brings the Titans to Bludhaven to help protect the recovery he's brought about it.

** In issue #95, Batwoman brings up her attempt to marry Maggie Sawyer. When Dick asks why they didn't, she says it was because of "stubbornness, stupidity and fear", a jab at the [=DiDio=]-era of TrueArtIsAngsty.
