Duke was no more or less a sidekick than any of the Robins were; sometimes they work with Bruce, sometimes they have solo stories. The problem isn't the fan base, who are responding accordingly...

I agree completely. This thread is never pleased. People complained when they tried a new direction a la Grayson, people complain when writers try to elaborate on Bludhaven. I just think NW fans are...
We are an optimistic bunch here ;) but I am honestly thrilled to hear it's doing so well.
I honestly think it's a combination of media presence drawing in more fans and Tom Taylor being a higher profile writer. People seem to like his way of storytelling. Plus, the art is as many have...
He's a bit too much of a pretty boy for Jason in my opinion, but he's a fantastic actor from what I've seen of him. He plays a really menacing, manipulative character in the tv series Euphoria, and...
Do we know that Batgirl and Supergirl are going to be teens and not young adults? Plus, Supergirl/Shazam are practically invulnerable.
I agree, I think it sucks too. It's part of what killed my...
The adult Robin thing from the Batman and Robin live action film is an issue, but the whole child soldier aspect complicates it even more. Robin is a popular character in comics, but people tend to...
He's just some guy in a purple suit. He doesn't "allow" them to live, he doesn't have any better defenses against them than any other normal human. The reason neither dies is because people want to...
You do know how Robb and Jon end up, right? Not exactly the most flattering comparison to Batman there....
I noticed that too. Dick carried around a lot of grief and anger as a kid, and I think it's cool that's being acknowledged (if that's what this is and he isn't just dreading Bruce grounding him lol).
TKJ isn't really "her" story though, is it? It never was intended to be. She was just used to kick off the plot/set the stakes.
If you're implying that her sum total character worth is...
Right? That put a smile on my face for sure.
I get that you only like Batman and none of his underlings, but if you've read any Batgirl or even BOP, you'd know Barbara has faced the Joker plenty of other times and kicked his ass.
Again,...
Hah! This is super cute.
Is Batman a failed hero because he didn't try and kill the Joker? Babs holds the same no-kill rule as he does, and I'm pretty sure at this point Bruce has been, collectively, personally victimized...
Yeah, I am a little worried about how Damian will be depicted after how much of a stinker Event Levithan turned out to be. No more, not now that Damian finally has a less-edgy direction!
And we get that you're a Duke fan, but stop shifting the goalposts here. The poll isn't "who is the least well-known detective", it's who fans believe to be the most underrated detective in any...
Dick's detective skills and intelligence have been downplayed for a decade now compared to how he used to be written. More than a few fans find that annoying, clearly. Just because he's popular...
No, but the Nightwing writer at the time, Devin Grayson, has said that she personally head-cannoned Dick as bi. She's kinda controversial amongst the fans for a few reasons, this among them. I doubt...
Didn't Bruce make Stephanie Robin in order to convince Tim to come back? That never sat right with me. It's not like her mom was 'in the know' about her vigilante work either, which is kind of messed...
This is looking really good! I'm pleased with how they're handling Dick and Jace as the new Batman.
I agree; A lot of people are being quite negative about a book that hasn't even come out yet! Let's give Taylor and Redondo the benefit of the doubt, they're clearly passionate about the book they're...
Wow, the backdrop is just gorgeous.
I'm not opposed on principle but I wasn't sold on the relationship. Rose was not written particularly well here. If she's so violent and unreliable, why does Jason work with her in the field, let...
It's 2025, Jason wouldn't even be 30 years old. It was obvious to me reading it that the "hair dye" comment was made in response to Jason's reluctance around Rose's more lethal approach, and Rose...
