Superman tells him of a hero on Krypton who was cast out by his family and set out to protect the helpless. He decides to honor the Kryptonian by naming himself NightWing. He is revealed as Nightwing to the Titans after saving them from Deathstroke.  NightWing  was given his own mini series in the year 1995 due to his increasing popularity.  After the mini series NightWing was given his own full series. The original NightWing costume was based on the outfits of The Flying Graysons. This costume was redesigned as shown above in the 1996 series. In the more recent New 52 comics his costume is black with a red birdlike design over the chest going on as a stripe into each arm. His weapons are two eskrima that can stun opponents with electricity.
