That sounds interesting.. Maybe I won't drop Green Lantern Corps and give it a shot.

Tomasi has been an editor on recent runs of GL, Batman, and JSA. He's likely to take the book somewhere a greater audience can enjoy. Maybe he'll prove Nightwings worth to people, and show 'em why the character survived his possible fate in Infinite Crisis.

TOMASI ON NIGHTWING

Last week, former DC editor and now DC exclusive writer Peter Tomasi kicked off his run on Nightwing. We spoke with the writer back in September when he was named as the new lead of the creative team, and he gave us a full rundown on how he sees Nightwing and how the character fits in with the Bat-Family and the larger DC Universe?so ? now that his first issue is out?

We caught up again to talk about the specific issue ? ?Freefall? Part 1 ? and get some insight on why he did what he did with the character and the issue.

Newsarama: Peter, when we spoke back in September, you gave us a pretty good idea of who Nightwing is in your eyes. We're a few months - and a Bat-title-wide crossover down the road now, so how is Nightwing in this issue? How would you sum him up after the ?Resurrection of Ra's? storyline?

Peter Tomasi: I wouldn't say he's had any epiphanies or taken a drastic soul-changing course as a result of that storyline, because that was something I definitely didn't want to do. He wasn't going to emerge from a lake of blood and say: "ya know, something's gotta change."

My whole plan of attack for taking over was simply to have Dick turn the page, because I feel that's a integral part of his DNA when approached right. I have him simply looking at his life after the Ra's storyline and making some changes. A slight course-correction if you will....

That first issue was so good. I though Tomasi nailed the personalities of all three of the Bat-men

I sense big things from Tomasi. Black Adam was amazing, his Green Lantern Corps was interesting and Nightwing was awesome. I smell star.
