Nightwing Falls: Dick Grayson Flies Too Close to the Sun and Becomes Icarus in Stunning Art
Dick ’s transformation into Icarus might initially go unnoticed , as it takes place in the background , overshadowed by the more prominent depiction of Nightwing . However , spectator can tell apart a little rendition ofDick in his blueish and inglorious uniform tumbling from the sky , accompany by a span of wing falling alongside him . This imagery immediately evokes parallel with the Hellenic myth of Icarus , who was give wing by his inventor father , Daedalus , enable him to vanish . However , this Hellenic tale ended tragically when Icarus fly too close to the sun , causing his wings to melt and take to his fateful ancestry .
Georgiev doubtlessly intended to recall Icarus in this variant cover , peculiarly considering that it is for theFallen Graysonstoryline , which , as author Tom Taylor stated , will draw Dick ’s " fall . " The writer went on to excuse that Bruno and he " wanted to show how gamy this Flying Grayson could soar . Now , it ’s time for him to fall . ” Hence , theIcarus reference is the perfect metaphoric choice for illustrating this transition from Dick flying high to him falling . Fans can only hope that Dick does n’t entirely fall out the Greek account ; otherwise , this could mark the remnant of a beloved paladin .

" Considering Dick ’s tragical source story of lose his parents to a pin , a literal declension for him would be specially crushing and would be a widely hated creative option for the fictional character . For now , fans will just have to trust that Taylor wo n’t do irreparable damage toDick ’s fictitious character by givingNightwingsuch a grim fate .
