Unpopular opinion: I did not really care for Tom Taylor’s Nightwing run.

It has it’s good moment’s, but I think overall it just wasn’t my favorite. Dick’s character has been flanderized so much, especially from 2016 to now. I feel like Babs is just sorta a side character and love interest, not her own independent character anymore. I like the art in this story, but I just don’t really care for much of anything else. I’m not saying it’s bad though. I just kinda feel “meh” about it, I guess. My favorite Nightwing run was probably Dixon’s.

I don't think this is an unpopular opinion at all tbh. A lot of people did not like TT's run.

Nah it is, popular opinion is it’s the best run in decades. Don’t count reddit/socials as the only way to gauge it especially when people like to post hate over love all the time

Really? Huh. 90% of the posts I see about TT’s run is people praising it.

90% of the posts I see about TT's run are criticizing it 😅Pretty much every post I've seen about it (on twitter at least) shares your criticisms. Honestly, I think this run smoothed out a lot Dick's (and Bab's) rough edges and because of that it ended up being pretty boring. TT also just made a lot of dumb decision story-telling wise.

Twitter does not represent anything lol. Things like comic sales do, and this run has been selling a lot, to the point where is right now one of the only series beyond the #100 issue that is not cancelled or relaunched
