Nightwing VS Hush #1 preview

[SiegePerilous02]

Good Superman characterization is a Batman comic. That alone is worth praise.

I know, right? It's kind of sad that this is as rare a sight as it is these days.

And because they would have stood out like sore thumbs in civilian clothes since literally everyone else at Bat Burger was in a costume.

Yeah, plus when emergencies pop up they are already dressed for the occasion.

Wait... So Batman and Catwoman are getting married, not Bruce and Selina... How does that work?

Okay I'm loving this already.

From the small amount of googling I did, it's apparently completely legal to marry using an alias. The choice quote I found was:

You marry a person, not a name. The marriage is valid unless the use of an alias concealed facts that if known would otherwise render the marriage invalid.

The "facts" in question here would be things like bigamy and incest, and vary by state. But, though it's definitely odd, them marrying using their alter-egos is plausible from a legal standpoint.

it means he doesnt need a prenup
also it allow them to be together but also free from each other

their civilian life wont change

If I was Bruce Wayne and marrying a career thief, I'd get a prenup.

It doesn't. Not really. It would be like marrying two dogs together. Sure it's something of a sentiment in theory, but in actuality it fails as a legal "marriage" because it doesn't meet any of the legal criteria. Batman and Catwoman aren't actual people. They're the costumes that two people wear as far as the state is concerned. I doubt they share Tom King's sentiment that Batman and Catwoman are the REAL people while Bruce and Selina are the fictions.

It will be completely and utterly symbolic and nothing more, and therefore what we realize is that this is not any kind of serious business whatsoever. It's about as much commitment as wearing a friendship ring, or changing your status to "in a relationship" on Facebook.

Not just good Superman characterization, and a thematic call-back to the trio’s goofy “days off” Worlds Finest covers, but a genuine emotional moment between Bruce and Dick. This kind of brotherly affection has been missing since Grayson.

Yes the three of them shooting the shit in costume definitely reminded me of stuff like this:

And that is pretty great. The three of them acting like the best buds they are is always refreshing, especially after years and years of Bruce being a total bitch towards both of them to varying degrees.

It looks like a lot of fun, and there hasn't been much of that lately. I'm tired of bitchy Bat-god, too.

[Rise]

Well, this issue settled the argument about who is going to be the best man and it's a good choice.

If one thing I could say about this issue is how seriously pretty the art is. The plot isn't interesting and I think I will pass on the next one since neither the premise is interesting nor do I care about hipster Barbara.

[millernumber1]

Maybe it's just me, but I am sorta worried that Dick was left in the other dimension and Hush was pulled out, since he made himself look like Dick.

[Badou]

Dick still should have been best man I think, but we all knew it was going to be Clark. So no big surprise. DC has been pushing and positioning Clark in that role since they announced the marriage and Dick hasn't done much since then, especially in response to the marriage. So we knew what the results were going to be.

[Godlike13]

Hush is a loon.

The whole best man thing doesn't bother me, because i asked myself. Would Bruce be Dick's best man at his wedding, or would it be Wally or even Donna? (Pre-new 52 of course. Now everything is all weird).

[Onthetrapeze]

Great story and brilliant art. But I can't believe that DC chose Superman to be Batman's best man instead of Dick.
