His dedication to law and order is beyond reproach. But after a deadly altercation with The Joker during the villain's most recent rampage of terror, Grayson unexpectedly experiences a jolt of existential ennui. What does it mean to be a hero, he wonders? Things get even more complicated when Batman, Grayson's crime-fighting mentor, is charged with murder. Hopefully, with a little help from friends like the Flash, Blue Beetle and the rest of his Bat-Family, Nightwing can figure it out.

Nightwing Vol. 8: Lethal Force features the creative talents of Chuck Dixon (Robin, Robin: Year One) and Trevor McCarthy (Nightwing: The New Order) and collects Nightwing #61-70.
