The ongoingNightwingseries , written by Tom Taylor with art by Bruno Redondo and Adriano Lucas , in spades does not shy off from social issues . Dick Grayson has used the riches he inherited from Alfred Pennyworth to build Haven , a shelter / biotic community for citizenry in pauperism of help in the crooked andcrime - ride metropolis of Blüdhaven .

' When Nightwing go to scavenge the graffito on Alfred ’s statue , he is attack by a group of policemen who like a shot start film at him . Dick quickly disarms the officers , and the depiction of the battle is very jocular , withNightwing throwing a bucketover a police officer ’s headland and kick back it . Even when comical in nature , it ’s rare to see violence against police officer handled in this mode in mainstream comics ( though it ’s common against criminal , which the policeman are confirmed to be . )
Nightwing ’s creative team have not been afraid of come up to contemporary real - world issues , so it ’s toilsome not to see this scene as engaging with ongoing discourse about the theatrical role of modern law enforcement . This fight is make up in the same means as if Nightwing was exact on traditional street criminals , with the comedic component of the pail making it clear that the design here is to ridicule corrupt mental institution , not to prompt fierceness against them . This is only potential because the hero of the tale isNightwing , who always took a more acrobatic , less brutal approach to his criminal offence - fighting activities than , for example , Batman . While it is stressed repeatedly that the police force are explicitly corrupt - tot an spare bed of context to a superhero beating up constabulary officer - it would nevertheless have been banned under the CCA .
