Summary
This is Nightwing Vol. 2 #112, originally titled "The Devil You Know," published September 14, 2005, with a cover date of November 2005, written by Devin Grayson with pencils by Phil Hester. The story follows the arc featuring Deathstroke, Slade Wilson. Dick Grayson tells Slade he is not undercover and is no longer working with Batman; after hearing Dick recount his recent experiences, Slade seems to believe him and introduces him to his daughter Rose (later operating as Ravager), asking Dick to teach her everything he knows. Dick puts on a new costume dominated by dark red and red, and together with Rose goes to a halfway house to take the girl Sophia Tevis away. During the extraction Rose attacks a guard, the situation briefly spirals out of control, and Dick has to use a smoke bomb to salvage it, confronting her about the unnecessary violence to her face. Dick then tries to entrust Sophia to Helena Bertinelli (Huntress) but is refused; Helena tells him to take responsibility for the girl himself and suggests he contact Barbara Gordon (Oracle). Rose, meanwhile, tells her father about Sophia. The core of the conflict is not just the fighting but the disagreement between how to protect a child and how to train one.
Editor's review
这一期在《夜翼》第二卷里属于承上启下的节点位置，它同时牵动三条线：迪克与蝙蝠侠关系的裂痕、他与丧钟之间一段微妙又危险的“师徒交易”、以及他不得不为一个陌生孩子承担起照顾责任。编剧德文·格雷森擅长写人物之间的对话与情绪暗流，本册里迪克对罗斯滥用暴力的当场质问，几乎是他本人成长经历的投射——被训练成战士的人，最清楚训练如何越界。画面上，菲尔·赫斯特与墨线师安德·帕克斯的线条干净利落，动作段落节奏清楚，适合喜欢 2000 年代中期 DC 画风的读者。需要说明的是，这本单期情节紧接前面的丧钟故事线，单独阅读会有一定跳跃感；更适合已读过本卷前几期、或者正在按顺序补《夜翼》长线的读者。若只想认识夜翼这个角色，从更完整的合集或近年的《夜翼：跃入光中》入门会更顺畅。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 正在按顺序补完《夜翼》第二卷长线的读者
- 喜欢迪克·格雷森与丧钟、掠夺者之间关系的读者
- 偏爱人物对话与情绪戏多于大场面的美漫读者
- 对 2000 年代中期 DC 漫画画风有怀旧感的读者
Not a good fit for
- 第一次接触夜翼、想找一本独立入门书的读者
- 期待单期里有完整起承转合或大事件收束的读者
- 不习惯从长线连载中间插入阅读的读者
Reading tips
- 先读本卷丧钟登场前后的几期，再读本期，情节衔接会顺很多。
- 把注意力放在迪克对罗斯的批评与他对自身训练经历的回忆上，这是本期的情绪主线。
- 可配合《夜翼：叛徒》（Nightwing: Renegade，收录第 112—117 期）一起看，理解这条线的整体走向。
- 阅读时留意新制服的登场，它是迪克在此阶段身份摇摆的视觉标记。
FAQ
第 112 期对应哪个合集？
英文合集《Nightwing: Renegade》收录《夜翼》第二卷第 112 至 117 期，即“一年后”之前最后一段故事线，因此本期是该合集的第一期。
这一期的英文原题是什么？
原题为《The Devil You Know》，一般可译为“你所认识的魔鬼”，与丧钟这条人物线呼应。
没读过前面能直接看这期吗？
可以读，但会缺背景：迪克与蝙蝠侠的决裂、丧钟为何找上他、索菲娅是谁，都在此前几期交代，建议至少读完本卷第 109 至 111 期。
国内有正式中文版吗？
截至目前未见该单期的正式简体中文单行本信息，国内出版的《夜翼》中文版多为近年新系列（如《夜翼：跃入光中》），与这一期所属的 1996 年长线并非同一系列。
