Jason/Ashely, I heard a question about which company had the first Nightwing. I think it was DC…Matthew? Didn’t Superman and ? (can’t remember…Jimmy Olsen?) would travel to the bottled city of Kandor in the Fortress of Solitude. They would become Flamebird and Nightwing in Kandor…because Superman would lose his powers when in Kandor.
In “Superman in Kandor” in Superman #158 (January 1963) Jimmy and Superman had to take on the identities of Flamebird and Nightwing. During the retconning of the DCU, two real Kryptonian heroes were introduced, and remembering the tales Superman told him of their adventures, Dick Grayson took on the name Nightwing when he gave up the role of Robin.
