Last month, Sony Online Entertainment confirmed that Bizarro will be appearing in DC Universe Online and hinted that the next reveal would feature "a hero who amazed his audiences with his artistry in the air at a young age and eventually stepped out of the shadow of his mentor to take on new adventures." We guessed that meant Dick Grayson, also known as Nightwing, and we were right.

SOE has posted information and screenshots about Nightwing on the DCUO Facebook page. You can read the ex-Boy Wonder's short biography after the jump and check out the screenshots in our gallery. They show Nightwing fighting alongside Raven, Changeling and Robin, as well as battling Killer Croc.

The hint for next month's character is someone with a cold heart who can manipulate cold weather. Mr. Freeze, perhaps?

What happens when Dick Grayson, The Boy Wonder, becomes a man and decides to leave his mentor to take on new adventures? He takes on the name Nightwing and joins forces with the Teen Titans against criminals of the night. Second only to those of Batman, Nightwing’s fighting skills and detective abilities are a definite advantage for a hero who also has gas pellets, smoke capsules, and an acetylene torch.

Wearing a bulletproof and fire-resistant costume that is wired with a single-shot taser, Nightwing can easily incapacitate any attacker. His weapons of choice to combat foes, including the H.I.V.E. (Hierarchy of International Vengeance and Extermination), are twin, shatterproof-polymer Escrima sticks. Keep in mind that you get to play alongside or against Nightwing in DC Universe™ Online, so choose your own armaments wisely.

As we move into the winter season, our next month’s character is getting cozy with his surroundings and may even be the cause of the cold weather front. He openly shares his cold heart with those around him.
