(scroll to about the middle of the page - it takes a bit for their site to load btw, even if you're on cable.)
Here's a glimpse:
GEORGE GEBHARDT: Are you going to be writing the Nightwing title after the Dixon/Beatty “Year One” arc?
DEVIN GRAYSON: Yes.
GEBHARDT: Nightwing isn't canceled, is it?
GRAYSON: No. We have issues planned well into 2005 and are already shaping ideas for 2006.
GEBHARDT: We see Tarantula's fate at the end of Nightwing #100. Will fans see her any time down the road?
GRAYSON: Yes, but not for a while. At least not in Nightwing #100. She's sort of like a new villain now — she will turn up again, but you never know when, and her presence is not something Dick will actively seek out.
GEBHARDT: What is Dick's future with the DCU?
GRAYSON: I can't tell you much specifically without giving away upcoming story lines, but rest assured that Dick Grayson has a very prominent place in the DCU and will continue to for a very long time yet.
One of the aspects that makes Nightwing unique is the strong personal relationships he has with the other heroes (and even a few of the villains!). Batman is a father to him. Superman is like an uncle. He's a founding father of the original Teen Titans and current high-ranking member of the Outsiders. He's friendly with the JLA and currently pining over the head of the Birds of Prey. Even villains as diverse as Two-Face and Deathstroke have unusually personal relationships with him.
Nightwing knows almost everybody. The superhero community has put a lot of trust in him, and he carries a lot of important secrets.
He's personally cared about by a staggering number of DCU inhabitants and the loyalty he feels towards them is almost incalculable. We're lucky he's a good guy, because if he ever turned — man, watch out!
