Sony Online Entertainment revealed today that Nightwing will be one of the official DC superheroes appearing in their PC/PS3 MMO DC Universe Online. They've also provided screenshots of the former Boy Wonder in action.

Much like his former mentor Batman, Nightwing is a formidable detective and fighter. He's also got plenty of gadgets up his sleeve, like smoke bombs and a booby-trapped costume. In combat he wields two shatterproof-polymer Escrima sticks.

DC Universe Online, along with fellow SOE MMO The Agency, is expected in 2010.
