Dick Grayson: Robin, Nightwing, Batman, Agent of Spyral Appreciation 2019

I don't think DC is working on anything except rubbing our noses into excrement. With four Wingiewanabees, each one of them is going to "need" 4-6 issues to establish their "backstories", motivations, origins, etc etc etc, so I can see up to two years tied up with that. Bea and Joker's Daughter could stretch out another year of filler material/word salad. Maybe Didio is looking to drive the book six feet under so he can justify to reboot a Bat-Verse where Dick Grayson "never existed."

No matter how bad Nightwing starts to sell, I doubt Didio would ever be able to erase Dick Grayson out of Bat-universe in comics world.

If he knew he wouldn't get any grief from Warners, I think he'd hand down that edict in a second.

I saw the June solicitation recently, it actually says....Ric Grayson and the Nightwings. That's just depressing.

Sounds like a band...

Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from the slums of Bludhaven, give it up for Ric Grayson and the Nightwings!

Yep you're right They could cover Skid Row's "I Remember You" and Guns N Roses "Yesterdays".

Damn I need this storyline to end soon lol.

The Flying Nightwings and Their Greasy Smurf Sidekick.

I am actually surprised a storyline that is this much despised by the readership has been allowed to continue for so long. I read an interview with Chris Claremont some weeks back. In it, he said that writers no longer come up with the stories or plots, editors did that and the writers wrote around what the editors wanted. This story is proof this is nothing more than a vanity project for either the editor or (more likely) Didio who is pushing his agenda. I gave up reading the book a few months back, wrote a letter even expressing my distaste for the storyline. So sad to see that it is not only still going on, but with solicitations, appears that it's going to continue for some time still.

Even if Warner was not interested in using Dick, erasing him from existence is a much harder step than just simply create character assassination situations (and moments) and/or keep him in unpleasant status quo.

The kid who plays Shazam ends up with Nightwing as his answer.

It'd depend on which ignoble end Didio found most satisfying to his giddy inner fanboy.

Yeah this is why he was pissed and was trying hard ever since he took office. Dick Grayson will always be bigger than him bc he existed right after Batman and created the mythos. You can’t erase him completely without Bruce himself going: what. Even if he somehow never existed in a rebooted main verse, he would still exist in every other world ever.

[Rac7d*]

Yall better not let him loose


If harley quinn can maneuver around the trinity then I dont see why Nightwing cant take on demigods
Show DCU we care and believe Dick can do anything

That is a nice thought but I don't think it's a realistic one any more, the New 52 erase a whole generation so Tim could be the founder of the Teen Titans, Barry is / was? the very first Flash, Alan Scott exists only on other earths, Jason is all of sudden to Titans.

Robin in particular has been so diluted, that no unique character is necessary anymore, without going further Murphy wrote White Knight with Jason as the first Robin and made no difference.

That's actually the best possible setup for Dick to possibly win. I'm concerned about Dick's ability to beat either the Flash or Darkseid, so I'm glad he doesn't have to take on both and one will knock out the other.

I'm too lazy to remember to check when it goes up so just put the link in here.

Rebirth though, re-established the original Titans group (well, Titans Hunt did right before Rebirth, but still). Flash Rebirth has had brief periods of showing Jay. And, what do you mean Jason to Titans? You mean the series on DCU? Well, even in the comics, Jason was, if briefly, a member of the Teen Titans.
