interrogatively , Nightwing almost died in a different version ofthe Fortress of Solitudein the finish of the 2005 mirthful book miniseriesInfinite Crisis . A follow - up to the originalCrisis on Infinite earth , Infinite Crisisrestored the idea of the DC Comics multiverse and was intend to usher in a new era of optimism follow what is usually known as the Dark Age of Comics . Opinions dissent on how successfulInfinite Crisiswas in this , specially give how many heroes were needlessly killed during the issue . Not to mention the fact that Nightwing was originally planned to be one of them . Despite this , the storyline is still more often than not well - regarded today .
The finis ofInfinite Crisisteamed Nightwing and theConner Kent Superboyup in a raid upon the ruins of the Fortress of Solitude , which had been taken over by Superboy - Prime . The original plan would have seen Nightwing die , strictly because his death would have had the cracking impact on the large number of characters .

However , the endgame here is far less obvious , as Nightwing seemingly died for nothing . Fans ' hopes are mellow , however , that there may be some form of payoff , perhaps borrowing from the realism ofInjustice , whereNightwing kick the bucket and returned as Deadwing , inherit the mantle and powers of Deadman .
