Dick learned after a while that Bludhaven had it horrible if not worse than Gotham, he dedicates himself to cleaning up crime and flushing the syndicates out of the decaying harbor town. Grayson commits himself fully to his role as Nightwing, and takes up a job as a Bartender in order to get the scoop on the criminal activities in the area. Eventually Bruce and Grayson begin to mend their relationship with him occasionally returning to mentor the next Robin, Red Robin and further train Batgirl.

|Personality=Despite the traumatic death of his parents Grayson has been able to overcome and tame his anger, guilt and grief to become a balanced, wise young man. The scars are there, but they have healed and consume him rarely one can say it comes in in waves but he has largely learned to deal with it over years. He has focus now.
|Personality=Given everything that Dick Grayson has been through in his life it would not be a surprise if he had turned out to be a total headcase. Parents murdered before his eyes as a child? Check. Raised by a billionaire who presents one face to the world while hiding his true self? Check. Raised to be a vigilante and trained in multiple forms of combat, to observe and analyze everything he sees, taught to understand the minds of not only criminals but complete psychopaths? Check. And despite all that Dick turned out to be a relatively well adjusted man. True, one who has devoted himself to the pursuit of justice and to protecting others. One who does so by dressing up in a costume and taking to the rooftops. It might not sound very well adjusted, but somehow he makes it work.  
<br><br>
<br><br>
His early experiences and training have left him with a thirst for justice that is difficult to manage, and keeps him going out as Nightwing investigating crimes, fighting criminals, and join fellow heroes to tackle problems too big to handle alone. Grayson is quite driven, and his private life is always sacrificed because of his crusade, leaving him feeling rootless and unable to form deep relationships with anyone but fellow crime-fighters. This often leads him to appear to some as a womanizer or careless with emotions of others. He is quite the opposite and secretly capable of a lot of feeling.
Instead of being compelled to seek revenge against the sorts of criminals who took his family from him, Dick does so by choice, because he genuinely cares about other people and wants to insure that what happened to him does not happen to others. He has a deep-seated sense of right and wrong, a code that he chooses to live by and as such he chooses to put himself in harms way. He has come to embrace his costumed identity, but he doesn't let it consume him. There's more to him then the mask.  
<br><br>
<br><br>
He hides his pain deep, though, maybe even deeper than Bruce, trying to pretend that he is over it, and that he has moved on. He pursues fun and tries to make a normal life for himself, but the truth is he will never be normal. Part of him will never heal and the only thing that ever makes it remotely better is putting a beating on those who deserve it. It may not be revenge... but it sure is satisfying.
Where others of his peers might live the hero life 24/7, Dick has found that he needs more. Yes, the bulk of his friends and family might be part of the superhero set, but having something of a normal life is important to him. Having something to do, a job that doesn't involve him wearing a mask and punching people matters to him. Getting together his friends for something other than a team-up is important. He needs a life, not just a calling and when things start to get a little out of whack on that front, when that balance tips too far towards his costumed world, that's when things usually start to go astray for Dick.
<br><br>
One thing that helps him a great deal in this pursuit is that ultimately Dick is very much a people person. He is just an extremely affable young man who genuinely cares about the people around him. It is part of what makes him such a strong leader, every bit as much as the tactical acumen and long experience. He generally finds it ease to interact with others, to get to know people and never lacks for confidence in his dealings with others. The whole secret identity thing makes that a little more difficult, but it is hardly the only obstacle in his life.
<br><br>
While he is well adjusted and outgoing, not everything is always roses and rainbows for the former Boy Wonder. He can brood with the best of them at times and has a tendency towards blaming himself for things that are not always within his control, something he has to fight against. He is far more comfortable in his own skin, but the fact remains that his mentor is pretty much the peak of what a regular human can aspire to in the world of superhuman heroes. It's a legacy that he can never entirely live up to and while he has grown increasingly accepting of that fact, it will always be there with him, a little dark thought in the back of his head that he will always be found wanting.
