And while psychopathy as a condition cannot be, and should not be, attributed to environmental factors, the loving home that the Gordons provided for him makes this trait even more shocking to consider. With James Gordon Jr. is a psychopath who has relished torturing animals and other people since he was a child. Snyder, Jock, and Francavilla's arc in Detective Comics, also known as The Black Mirror, introduced the villain, James Gordon Jr., Commissioner Gordon's son who is everything Dick Grayson is not. Because of this, it is easy for fans to take for granted Dick's good nature: imagining him as evil is almost unthinkable. And yet, as depicted in Detective Comics #871-881 from Scott Snyder, Jock, and Francesco Francavilla, the dark opposite of Dick Grayson's Batman is utterly horrifying. That is, in nearly every version of the DC Universe that exists, Dick remains a central figure of kindness and teamwork, no matter how strange the circumstances are. Nightwing's likability and popularity remains one of the most uncontested multiversal constants in the DC Universe. When approaching villains as reflections of a hero's particularities, Dick Grayson's qualities call for villains to be his extreme opposite.
It is for this reason that Dick Grayson's Batman villains are so much more disturbing than Bruce Wayne's will ever be.

As tragic as this event was, it never drove him to the same depths of isolation as Bruce Wayne, evident during his time on the Teen Titans. Born to circus performer parents, Dick had a loving, stable early life until his parents were gunned down by mob boss Tony Zucco. Dick Grayson was Batman's first Robin, later adopting the identity of Nightwing, and eventually, after the Final Crisis event, becoming Batman.
