14. What is the name of the city Nightwing protects?

Answer: His parents were killed

His parents were killed. Bruce Wayne (Batman) was at the show and took him in. He offered to train him and help bring his parents murderer to justice, as Robin.

16. Who is dressed as Two-Face?

From Quiz "Nightwing" Year One

Answer: Alfred

Before becoming Batman's butler, Alfred was an actor, and the skills he retains from the job helped him impersonate Two-Face in order to test the new Robin, Jason Todd! Alfred began practicing in "Nightwing" #105, which debuted in 2005.

17. What is Killer Croc looking to traffic in?

From Quiz "Nightwing" Year One

Answer: Guns

Killer Croc already peddles drugs like heroin and cocaine, but he's looking to expand into running guns, which is decidedly Two-Face's territory.

18. Aoccording to Nightwing, what's more fun than riding a motorcycle?

From Quiz "Nightwing" Year One

19. Who is the current writer of the 'Nightwing' series (hint - he has been there from the start)?

From Quiz "Nightwing" Comic Book

Answer: Chuck Dixon

Chuck Dixon has written 'Nightwing' since the start, and as far as I know he has no intention of stopping soon, thank God. He is also working on a Robin - Year One mini series which should be awesome.

20. Jason Todd, the second young man to become Robin (after Dick became Nightwing) was killed by the Joker. From whom did Dick first find out that his "replacement" was dead?

From Quiz Nightwing

Answer: Danny Chase

Dick and the New Titans (formerly the Teen Titans) were off on an outer space adventure when Jason was killed. Upon their return to Earth in "New Titans" no. 55 (June 1989), junior team member Danny Chase rather callously informed Dick that Jason Todd was dead.

21. Torque, one of Nightwing's most frequent opponents, is a dangerous criminal despite a debilitating physical condition. What is it?

From Quiz Nightwing

Answer: His head is turned around backwards.

Blockbuster, another of Bludhaven's resident criminals, enjoys dispatching enemies by twisting their heads around until their necks break. He tried this technique on Bludhaven P.D. Inspector Dudley Soames; however, an enthusiastic group of surgeons got to Soames before he died, and managed to save his life. Unfortunately, his head is now permanently "backwards." Soames got his hands on some special glasses that let him see "behind" him (well, in *front* of him, really!), and started calling himself Torque.

22. A severely troubled young man in Bludhaven, infuriated by injustice and inspired by Nightwing, became a masked vigilante as well. He calls himself "Nite-Wing" (Dick should probably sue!), but what's his real name?

From Quiz Nightwing

Answer: Tad

Tad Ryerstad, unlike Dick, is clearly a sociopath. Dick first tried to train Tad, but quickly learned that "Nite-Wing" was insane, and served him up to the authorities.
