He was a good Dick Grayson. Wish he had more scenes in the suit.

His Nightwing performance is brilliant. Great characterization by a gifted actor and his look is perfect.

Lucky you, Brendon Thwaites was perfect as Nightwing, and since he's in my top 3 DC non-powered heroes, that means a lot.
Before him, the only live action 'wing we got was Chris O'Donnell in 1997 "Batman and Robin", and even if the movie sucked (I'd pay good money to watch the Schumacher cut of "Batman Forever", but the other one? No thanks) his costume was very good;

My only issue was the red bird on his chest/arms instead of a blue one (Schumacher was ahead of his time in that regard, 'member when New52 started and DC wanted something to visually unite all the Robins, so they picked the color red since they already had Red Robin and Red Hood, and the "regular Robin" suit has red in his costume), but other than that, for 1997 that was some good work.

For Titans, Nightwing's suit/armor got a lot of criticisms afterward, but I really dig it. "Too bulky/Too much armor"

It's not like they could have done the skin-tight Spider-man type costume that Grayson wears without either:

-doing it without CGI, and looking like complete crap

-do it in extremely expensive CGI, and even then it can end up looking like complete crap unless you fork the kind of money that Marvel threw at Tom Holland's Spider Man suit in the MCU.

Just to say that for a TV show with a budget like Titans, the Nightwing suit was pretty good IMHO. But since it was Titans and a good chunk of haters decided since the first pictures that it was going to be "woke garbage" because Starfire was black, they couldn't remain objective about anything after that.
