Ah, it’s Monday + Hangover so I don’t want to do any actual work at my job today so here I go with my life story post. Ohs well. 
Waid loves Nightwing, DC won’t let him write the character. Crazy…Comparing the “Grown Up” Wally West and Dick Grayson:
***MARK WAID: What’s unique about Wally is he’s the only sidekick to grow-up and fulfill the promise… The difference in personality between Wally and Barry isn’t as wide a gulf as Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne, Robin wouldn’t grow up to be Batman, but I think it’s cool Kid Flash grew up to be the Flash…
Dick Grayson is another character that Geoff Johns and I constantly wrestle over …it’s a testament to the character that so many writers really like him…Should he be afforded more credibility in the DCU? Absolutely… There are people at DC who perceive him as a useless character… as less than he is. That’s their prerogative because they are in charge…I would write that character in a cocaine heartbeat. I have begged, begged to be given Nightwing, and have been summarily turned down for no good reason. (joking) God forbid they let me do what I want to do! … He’s so complex and interesting the idea that he was supposed to grow up to be Batman, but took a different route is just so rich for drama…, not to say that Pete Tomasi isn’t doing a great job, because he is… I really like the Nightwing book now…it’s the best I’ve seen the book in 20 years.***

They screwed too much with Dick Grayson. I pray that DC finally do something epic with Nightwing.
Waid is a fantastic writer.
His run on Captain America Volume 3 made that character interesting to read.
Andy Kubert on pencils didn’t hurt either.
