According to some historical accounts, Nightwing was the superhero identity assumed by Dick Grayson sometime after he had left Batman to become a solo crimefighter, abandoning his role as Robin.[1]
Apparently Dick Grayson chose the name "Nightwing" because of a conversation that he had with Superman regarding a superhero from the shrunken city of Kandor that also called himself Nightwing.[2]
During this period, Jason Todd eventually takes on the role as the new Robin, and after his tenure as the Boy Wonder, Tim Drake assumes the role next.[3]
