Richard Grayson's Soulmate

[oasis1313]

You haven't watched Young Justice?

Damn man. I'm not a cartoon guy at all and even I think it's one of the best versions of the DCU ever created. Not perfect, mind you, but I rank it right up there with the likes of Cook's New Frontier.

But judge it on its own merits. I dunno if you're the kind of guy who gets angry over changes in media adaptations but YJ is not meant to be any version of earth-1, or post-Crisis or anything. It is its own flavor, so don't get pissed because the chocolate tastes like vanilla.

I roll with the punches--I can go along with almost anything as long as it's well-done, such as the DC Streaming Nightwing show. Will DEFINITELY check it out when I get a day off work! Thanks!

Barbra Gordon Confirmed For Titans!!!!!

Where did you learn that news? She was just referred to as "missing" in the last episode and I haven't seen any more news. Oops, sorry--I forgot the last episode was all in Dick's head.

Dawn very much felt like a Babs standin in Titans this season. Like both the times WB/CW wanted Batman but had to do Green Arrow instead, it seems like they wanted to have Babs and Dick's relationship in the show, but had to pick a different character instead.

I loved Hawk and Dove in this show more than ever before. It really opened my eyes as to why Dawn is better for this dynamic than Don, and all the subtle nuances of their relationship--she is the strong one, not the big galoot Hank. Dick increases the tension between them, but he's the only one who understands Hank is more of a "keeper" than he is. Dawn was no Barbara substitute; she was very much her own character--a lot of that was due to Minka's talent, IMHO. Geoff Johns has redeemed himself in my eyes for his wrongs in "Forever Evil."

Agreed. Though damn, Dawn was like super hot.

ohhhhh yeah. fell in love in one episode. I would legitimately not mind seeing them interact in the comics ENTIRELY based on her performance/take on Dawn.

Barbara Gordon is Dick's default.

I've started the first season (just for YOU, Ascended), but I'm not sure this Robin is Dick. Nobody has called him Dick and he spends a lot of time on computer keyboards.

It definitely is Dick. This is Dick Grayson without being dumbed down for another characters sake.

How can I tell?

[dropkickjake]

Sense of humor and laughter. It’s also explicitly stated later on. There’s an episode with the circus.

That's a consistent problem with all the Teen Titans shows. When the original show came out we had long drawn out debates over whether it was Tim or Dick... Dick's story, but Tim's costume... Tim's TT was making a huge splash in the comics and this was feeding off that...

The general answer is generally settled when they show you future stuff and that Robin has become Nightwing… Which you'll see here too. Any robin growing up to be nightwing is Dick.

But yeah... in the more recent years, most of the 'young' Robins end up feeling more like Tim in attitude.
