Nightwing’s ingenious save-all contingency plan, distinguished by its brilliant simplicity, serves as a testament to his forward-thinking and exceptional leadership prowess, ultimately establishing him as a superior hero to Batman. This contingency plan also underscores a game-changing strength the Titans have over the Justice League, speaking volumes about their inherent superiority as the DCU’s first-line protectors.
In Titans: Beast World #5 by Tom Taylor, Ivan Reis, and Eduardo Pansica, Nightwing sets off on a mission to confront and try to stop Amanda Waller before she can carry out her airstrikes that would result in the death of a million people who are currently infected with Beast Boy’s spores.
Before he leaves on his solo mission, though, Dick reveals to the Titans that in the event of complications with Waller, he is counting on his team to avert the impending genocide, serving as his ultimate fail-safe contingency plan.
Cyborg’s New Power Gives the Titans an Edge Even the Justice League Can’t Match
Cyborg is known for having capabilities that other heroes could only dream of, and his latest ability is sure to make some Justice Leaguers jealous.
Nightwing’s Trust in His Team Makes Him a Better Hero Than Batman
Upon reaching Waller’s hideout, Flash inquires if they are going in, to which Nightwing responds that only he himself will be confronting Waller. He explains that he needs Wally on the ground, outrunning drone strikes and rescuing as many of the infected as possible if things with Waller go badly. Flash points out that Dick is using him as a contingency plan, prompting Nightwing’s response, “I need contingencies I can rely on.” This straightforward expression of faith underscores that Nightwing’s ultimate contingency plan is his teammates while also revealing Dick’s mastery of a leadership skill Batman never quite achieved—trust.
Unlike Batman, who had contingency plans FOR his teammates, Nightwing considers his best and most reliable contingency plans to BE his teammates themselves. This distinction underscores the significant difference in their leadership approaches, with Nightwing building his team on a foundation of trust. In contrast, Batman, in forming the Justice League, demonstrated a leadership style rooted in distrust, viewing his teammates as potential liabilities or threats. Nightwing perceives his teammates as his greatest strength, embodying a leadership philosophy that stands in stark contrast to Batman’s.
The Titans Are Stronger Than the Justice League
The Titans, grounded in trust and led by a leader who views each member as his greatest strength, embody a strength that surpasses the Justice League. Batman sowed distrust within his team, particularly when it was revealed that he had clandestinely formulated plans on how to incapacitate every Justice League member if they posed a threat. This distrust resulted in a disconnect among the League’s ranks, negatively impacting their collaborative effectiveness. Consequently, Nightwing’s trust-centric approach proves that he’s a better hero than Batman and formed a more effective superhero team.
