Nightwing #8

Wow! I have no idea how Nightwing will get out of this one. I don't think I've seen him with that many knives sticking out of him at once. Whenever Batman (or Alfred in this case) call him in to help he always seems to get the worst end of the stick. Things I liked: the juxtaposition with Dick in the present day and his ancestor in the early 1900s was very well done. They really have a lot in common. They both came from Haley's Circus, being the best, and end up in Gotham high society. I like that Dick was being groomed to be a Talon, it's a great way to tie this story together. Things I didn't like: I can accept that the Court of Owls knows that Nightwing is Dick Grayson, but how did they know where he'd be so that he ancestor could be the one to kill him?
