Hunted like a fugitive, and lacking his normal superpowers within the bottle city due to its simulated red sun, Superman decided to adopt a new identity patterned after his fellow crimefighter Batman. Because there were no bats or robins on Krypton, Superman and Jimmy Olsen created the costumed identities of Nightwing and Flamebird.
The duo returned to Kandor as Nightwing and Flamebird in times of emergency and occasionally were joined by Batman and Robin.
Some time later Van-Zee, a Kandorian scientist, and his lab assistant Ak-Var assumed the guise of the crimefighters Nightwing and Flamebird.
Post-Crisis: Believing they were traveling to Krypton before its destruction in the past, Superman and Lois Lane run afoul of the tyrannical General Zod. Fugitives, the duo assume the secret identities of Nightwing and Flamebird.
