Dick Grayson is now firmly established as the protector of Blüdhaven and is graduating the police academy but it comes to his attention that the first person he ever fought- Tony Zucco - has taken over the mob of Blüdhaven. He also learns of Blockbuster’s escape from prison and a potential gang war between the two. Another thorn in Dick’s side is Vigilante Adrian Chase who is hunting down Mark Desmond to kill him like he killed the first Blockbuster. As Blockbuster attempts to regain his power, he is also using his knowledge of Dick’s identity to target everybody he cares about. After he kidnaps Amy Rohrbach and has killed Bridget Clancy when he leveled Dick’s apartment building, Nightwing decides to step aside and let Adrian kill him.
