Suite aux événements du crossover Flashpoint qui a vu le héros Flash (Barry Allen) confronté à la troisième Guerre Mondiale entre Aquaman et Wonder Woman sur une Terre parallèle (sous la menace constante de son Nemesis, le Nega-Flash) l’éditeur DC Comics a décidé de relancer son univers, justifié par la réécriture de certains Super-Héros qui n’étaient plus en adéquations avec leur époque. Le New 52 c’est la politique agressive de DC Comics en réponse au marché actuelle, 52 nouvelles séries en perpétuel évolution.
Malgré une évolution très apprécié des lecteurs de comics, DC décide de retirer le costume de Batman des épaules de Dick Grayson pour que Bruce Wayne redevienne le seul et unique Capé Croisé. Il récupère donc son costume de Nightwing pour parcourir les rues de Gotham City. Dans la première histoire, le jeune scénariste Kyle Higgins et le dessinateur **Eddy Barrows **confrontent le premier acolyte de Batman à ses origines au Cirque Haley alors qu’un tueur semble avoir pris pour cible certains anciens membres de sa troupe.
Après Tom Raney, c’est le dessinateur Paulo Siqueira vient prêter main forte à Eddy Barrows à partir de Nightwing #7.
