What If Nightwing lead the Arrowverse?

Category:Arrowverse
After the success of the Dark Knight trilogy, the CW conceived Arrow to piggyback off that success. However, Green Arrow and Batman are two different characters, which meant sacrificing a lot of what makes Green Arrow great. Because of this along with what the universe ended up turning into, I believe that Nightwing should've been the one to start the CWverse instead of Green Arrow. I may elaborate further in another post, but here is what I think the CWverse should've looked like.
