Not quite sure where this should go, but this seems like a good spot.
So most people know Raytheon is a defense contractor. They also have or rather had an IT division/sector, supplying cybersecurity and intelligence contractors as employees.
As of recently Raytheon will no longer be connected to that part of the business, having reached a deal with Blackstone and they will now take over those particular contracts. Blackstone decided they needed a name change.
The name they chose? Nightwing

(I swear, despite the date of this article, and the design of their website, it is not an April Fool's joke.)
I have a feeling this company is going to get completely trolled by DC fanboys. This seems like a really bad idea. For anyone not sure what I'm talking about, Dick Grayson, the original Robin, grew up to take on the mantle of Nightwing. (Some on here may have noticed in the past that I also love this character, my favorite superhero.)

Besides the likely trolling, there's also the fact that when you google Nightwing, you are going to be swimming through DC Nightwing pages for ages. How is this a good business plan? And that website...
