    Nightwing is infinitely better, I mean I like Jason too and they're both cool Legacy characters, but Dick's Legacy as Robin and history with the Teen Titans and later as Nightwing, he's one of the best DC characters in my opinion or even comics in general

    Just depends what you like more. I enjoy Jason's comic books more and find Nightwings comic books to be almost un-readable. Different strokes for different folks.

    At this point they're apples to oranges.

    They're so different in personality, that any writer will have tons of new material if they had to write for one or the other.

    There's no comparing the two to me. Jason for the last few years has been more interesting to me, as they literally reinvented him

    Dick is superior simply by Jasons character is shaped entirely in response to Dicks.

    Jason's personality seems to be shaped by the one event. I think Dick has the most potential as a character. That said, I don't think DC really knows what to do with him. Over the last decade or they have portrayed him as a bartender, police officer, defender of Bludhaven which they destroyed, a Titan, Batman, a circus owner, an unmasked superhero, super spy, a masked hero again. I don't think DC really knows which way to go with him.

Yeah and Didio originally planned to kill him off in infinite crisis,(sigh) I think Nightwing would benefit from some world building,build up his rogues gallery,a rival,a more solid supporting cast etc

    Dick Grayson has had a wealth of above-average (and some excellent) runs as a character, all of which connect to one another in an organic fashion. Jason, on the other hand, only has Under the Red Hood (which was mediocre until adapted into a movie) and a short stint in Grant Morrison's saga, both of which are Batman stories. Everything that Jason has had to his own name has been mediocre or terrible.

    @just_sayin: I think you can attribute most of Nightwing's inconsistency with changes in his stories coming as a result of Batman stories. NW could be a top tier standout character if they unshackled him from Batman and not have giant changes in his life all be cause by Batman

    Jason Todd is cool, but he is no Dick Grayson. At least he isn't like Tim or Damian. Jason actually started his own team instead of just taking the name of Teen Titans.

    Oh right! I forgot about that. Mostly because in recent comics, he has only been a part of the Titans. He abandoned the Young Justice team.
