What if Dick is the one behind the Talon mask?
What if Dick is the one behind the Talon mask?
We already knew that. I dont why they destroyed the suit so soon, I knew he couldn't stay robin, once Jason had introduced himself but it will definitely be 4-5 episodes before the Nightwing persona comes together. it takes time to sort out and idenity and get a good suit, but with starlabs and superboy arriving that might not be a problem

That would be interesting. Right now the character and the book are both have nothing happening.
Read the discussing and it seems this tweet came from the latest GoT episode, but I think he was applying it to other things too. I agree with what Seeley said in some circumstances, but in the context of the GoT episode I don't know if it works. Since the GoT series is reaching its finale and fans want it to have a satisfying conclusion that make it feel like the investment was worth it. Which is different from doing something shocking in the middle of the series to drum up attention. They have the fan attention already and now they need to pay off all that time fans made into it. They can still do shocking things and have twists, but if the ending isn't satisfying it will tarnish the series probably for many.
Although in reference to superhero comics I think his quote works well. They don't have a conclusion and go on forever. So they constantly have to find ways to get readers attention and the easiest way is to do something shocking and try and generate buzz. Things that piss readers off. So it is an endless cycle of shock porn to grab attention, and then trying to tell a story when you have that attention, but then having to use more shock porn every time attention slips. Mad people will still pay attention because they are still invested, but bored people won't. Ric Grayson is an example of it. I no longer pay DC money for it but I am still paying attention even if it is just to see when it ends.
Shooting him head and the amnesia isn’t even the worse part about Ric. Its what came with it. The last minute creators with noting to say and no actual plan, their boring bloated drawn out stories that have no point and needlessly insults readers simply because they don’t actually have anything insightful or profound to say, this blatant recycling of We Are Robin combine with Superheavy, etc, etc. And you can already see them use Ric as a mask to hide the fact that the real problem is really the editors and creators poor and lazy work.

While the Nightwings recover from their last battle against the fiendish Burnback, Ric reflects on the small portion of his past that he remembers—life in the circus as the youngest member of the Flying Graysons—in hopes of finding any clues as to what kind of man his parents hoped he’d become…perhaps a certain Talon has the answers he seeks?

What a brilliant idea. He only has his memories from before he was Robin and when he was in the circus. Makes sense that time and setting would be the first place he goes back to in order to try and piece together his life after getting shot... Oh wait, it is 8 months after he got shot and they are only NOW fucking doing it. What a joke.
Well at least he is FINALLY doing something - though here is hoping he won't do it whining about NW and his life before for the zillionth time.
I assume he will realize his parents never wanted him to be a drinking, gambling, leeching off others dirty bum who lives in a cab and has no real job or destination in life, so maybe he will start doing something with his life.
Do we have Jurgens to thank for this little bit of -what looks to be- development? Though as this is Dc and "Ric", hesitate the call it development till I see the issue.
