Combining her love for DC and her experience as an Intelligence Analyst, Taylor began writing for Screen Rant in 2023. As an avid consumer of DC-related content, Taylor's expertise spans comics, shows, and movies alike.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Even though Nightwing has been flying high in Titans and other comic storylines, the time for Dick Grayson's descent is nearing, and one variant cover teases his impending fall by depicting the Original Boy Wonder as the epitome of a Greek tragedy.

Nightwing #115 by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo marks the second installment of the duo's five-part story arc, Fallen Grayson. This arc will mark the conclusion of Taylor and Redondo’s tenure with the original Boy Wonder and is set to bring significant changes to the character. Fans can anticipate the comic's release on June 18, 2024.

For now, readers have access to the cover, synopsis, and variant covers of the comic, including a variant cover by Vasco Georgiev that transforms Nightwing into the Greek myth Icarus—the boy who serves as a cautionary tale about flying too close to the sun.Dick’s transformation into Icarus might initially go unnoticed, as it takes place in the background, overshadowed by the more prominent depiction of Nightwing.

Georgiev undoubtedly intended to echo Icarus in this variant cover, particularly considering that it is for the Fallen Grayson storyline, which, as writer Tom Taylor stated, will depict Dick’s "fall." The writer went on to explain that Bruno and he "wanted to show how high this Flying Grayson could soar. Now, it's time for him to fall.” Hence, the Icarus reference is the perfect metaphorical choice for illustrating this transition from Dick flying high to him falling.
