Nightwing fun fact: @thedanjurgens has written the character before, in the 1990s Teen Titans series, issues 12-15. It's one of my favorite Titans stories, purely for the characterization of Dick, Wally, and Roy.
Jurgens writes Dick as a competent, professional superhero that takes charge of the situation and knows what to do. He doesn't fool around on the job, but he isn't averse to cracking a joke or two either. It's a good balance, especially when Dick is in "Leader Mode."
Wally and Roy both speak very highly of Dick in their internal monologues, and you can tell that his years as a hero have garnered respect and trust that few others can command.
Tempest gets one of my favorite lines in issue 12, saying "Dick, I don't think the SPECTRE could sneak up on you!" and Argent practically sounds like a Nightwing fangirl.
Even the villain admits that Nightwing is one tough customer when he resists Haze's illusions and Haze is forced to use vertigo to take him down. This is perfectly in line with Nightwing's skills, as he's resisted mind altering drugs and abilities from Brother Blood and Scarecrow
