[QUOTE=AmiMizuno;5173962]Okay. One of the main reasons Jason was adopted was because Bruce realized how dangerous Jason could and he was lonely. If Dick were to disappear would that really miss the Batfam up? I mean it's often said that Dick is the glue and the only one who can get through to Bruce[/QUOTE]
The time Dick left the family is...
When he went to college and became Nightwing, fired or not, it messed Bruce up and made him sealed the cave or adopt a different kid because he missed him
When he was unmasked and presumed dead, excepting Alfred and Babs who grieved and Damian who died earlier, everyone else just went on as usual. This is post Reboot with a Lobdelled Tim though so I don't know if it should count.
In Injustice, it messed Batman to the point where he disowned Damian for causing it
In Ric, just like with Forever Evil and Grayson, nobody wants to touch it.
Honestly, though, he hasn't really totally disappeared in a way that matters and agreed upon by everyone. It's usually one jackass decided to ruin things in the playground so the other kids don't wanna play with the broken toy.
It also hard to do that in a way that matters because unlike the Dixon era where he wrote everything and therefore can connect everything, the current era, we don't even have the all Batfam in one department, and everyone's kinda just run off on their own, to be called back for the occasional crossover, sometimes with consent, sometimes not, so they end up writing an "eh... this will do" story before moving on where they left off.

[QUOTE=Godlike13;5175490]100# was generic, though I think it’s the first time I’ve seen Dick be competent under Tyrion so that’s something. JL though continues to be the Titans comic I been wanting. The only nit pick is i don’t think it remembers Lex killed Dick, and so Dick’s animosity towards him could be even more personal if they wanted it to.[/QUOTE]
I don't think so either, but it would be great if they remember after all and pick up on it in the next Issue. Even the Grayson Issue Lex appeared in would give the pair some good personal animosity.

Justice League was pretty good! One thing i really enjoyed was seeing Dick in his various costumes, including Batman. Nice touch.
Batman was Ok, but at least the Nightwing parts didn't disappoint.
I have to say this one more time, we really need Williamson writing the Nightwing book or the Titans book. I hope this Justice League mini arc serves as a prelude to him taking one of thoses books.

JL was fantastic. I'd be alright with no Nightwing solo if Williamson did a Titansish team book with Nightwing. I also enjoyed Batman. Joker cold use a rest of course, but I liked it.
EDIT: Does Damian exist?

A voiced skit based on the idea that since Dick was raised in the circus, he would have a very low opinion of Joker as a clown.

[QUOTE=Robanker;5175383][spoil]Some people got their books early and our boy's back in blue. Guess I'm buying Batman #100.[/spoil][/QUOTE]
[spoil]He got to mock Punchline for a bit, so that was fun :).[/spoil]

He quits and the Teen Titans unsuccessfully tried to find him. He's not in contact with anyone.

Why Does Dc have an issue with Dick being in the Titans? I mean he can still be in the Titans and saving Bludhaven. If Batman can be in the JL. Dick can be in the Titans

[Spoil]The way he basically reminded her she's the new kid and ain't shit was pretty great. It genuinely felt like Nightwing was back, and with Oracle to boot? Alright, Tynion. I see you.[/spoil]

Have you never seen when parents have a clear favorite child? Par the course.

DC has an issue with the Titans.

[spoil]Yeah, although him saying she's never going to see the light of day outside prison showed some severe genre blindness...[/spoil]

[spoil]At this point, they have to be genre blind if they think they're stopping anything because the catch-release nature of superhero books pretty much dictates it's endless. Even dying is just a pause. The line works for me in the context that the heroes [I]have[/I] to believe in the system working to in any way be heroic... otherwise Bruce is adamantly hunting people the system can't deal with just to turn them over to a system he knows has failed. It's part of the conceit. So Dick gets to deliver that boast, and the art sells it.
And just once, I want the people of Gotham to hear someone like Punchline cry they're a victim and just not buy it at all. It'd be so satisfying to see them collectively say "it's been 20 years of this shit, I don't buy it."[/spoil]

[spoil]I mean, Bruce actually called the Gotham legal system a revolving door in an issue of [I]Eternal[/I] so even he knows nobody stays in jail anymore.
Punchline is as much of a "victim" as Harley is, in my opinion, but the latter gets to pal around with Batman now.[/spoil]

Why did Dick bother introducing himself to Punchline? She knew him when he was brainwashed by Joker, so she already knows perfectly well who he is.
