Escrima Sticks?

[tjee]

Was looking into creating a nightwing type character. However there's no Escrima Sticks/Batons in dual blades. Any suggestions the route I should take?

Martial Arts or Street Fighting + Ninjitsu Scrapper would be closest to his abilities that this game gets, IMO.  If you really want a weapon, Staff Fighting is closest probably even though it's one weapon rather than a pair.   Leaping Pool, Ninja Stance while fighting (get some flips in there for the acrobatics), Spring Attack.  If you go Staff Fighting, maybe pick up some punches/kicks in Leaping and Fighting pools.

 

You could even consider flight for travel. Couple it with a costume change to a jetpack to emulate a bat-wing type travel method.  Or just use an actual jetpack and put up with slower flight.  Nice thing about flight pool is it gives you Air Superiority for another melee attack. So if you're fighting on foot you can knock stuff out of the air with it.   (Though Sky Splitter in Staff also has -fly if you're going that way too).

What are you talking about? Nightwing is clearly a crossbow wielding DP/Invul Sentinel:
