Suggested by matthewfenner
Gotham City, 2013. Three months after the fall of Batman and the events that nearly tore the city apart, former GCPD officer John Blake has stepped into the shadows as Nightwing, determined to honor Bruce Wayne’s legacy and protect a Gotham still teetering on the edge of ruin. With no mentor, no gadgets beyond what he can build, and no allies he can fully trust, Blake fights to find his place as Gotham’s new guardian. But when a brutal new player, Sean Williamson, an Irish immigrant with a savage temper and a deadly network, seizes control of the city’s fractured underworld, Blake is thrust into a war far deadlier than anything he’s faced before. Williamson’s empire thrives on blood, fear, and loyalty bought with bullets—leaving Nightwing to battle both his enemies and his own doubts about whether Gotham truly needs another vigilante. As the city spirals into violent gang wars and political corruption, Blake’s crusade tests every part of him—his ideals, his faith in Batman’s mission, and his very humanity. Each fight pushes him closer to the brink, forcing him to question if he can protect Gotham without becoming as ruthless as those he hunts. With the Bat’s legacy haunting every rooftop and alley, Nightwing: City of Shadows delivers an R-rated, grounded tale of a man trying to forge his own path amid the chaos, proving that even in Batman’s absence, Gotham’s fight for justice is far from over.
