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

[disillusion386]

Read it more as King acknowledging that this “Ric” thing is dumb. Even when Babs called, it’s I know your going through a thing. Which is dismissive. Then she just says “Ric” as a catch all to explain why Dick didn’t show, followed by Batman’s clear look away of shame lol.

That's how I saw that scene too. It was just a way for King to acknowledge that Dick (and Jason) still exist while providing a quick scene to explain why they weren't part of the bat-fam mission.

Nightwing was shot, and that fallout has appeared in his title as "Ric Grayson." As you get to the end, are you wanting to pull some of those characters affected by all this back into the mix, or is it natural that that stuff will defuse?

"Well, I can't speak for Ric, but this whole arc of 100 issues has been about two things: Bane is evil and Batman loves Catwoman.

...

Dick Grayson, to me, is the fourth pillar of the DCU. No one can destroy him. They can only injure him until it's time for him to come back, which I think is cool. So I don't feel like I've hurt that character in any way, but what happens in that book is up to them. I don't control Nightwing in any way. And that's fine."

Very cool. Thank you.

LoL, ya sounds like he's loving Ric as much everyone else. Unfortunately though it doesn't seem like its gonna end any time soon or there are any plans in the works or anything. God damn, Ric is gonna last longer then Grayson isn't it.

It all happened because of King. He was the one that shot him in the head, derailed Dick's solo book, and then did nothing with it in his own Batman title leaving the Nightwing book to deal with it completely. I get King thinks Ric is shit probably, but I think he needed to take some responsibility for it too. He can't completely pass it off as it being someone's elses problem and wash his hands of it when he was the originator. He finally acknowledged it in an interview after so long after being asked which was nice, but I think if you do something that "shocking" and have no intention of following up on it then you shouldn't have done it in the first place. It has barely played a role in King's Batman book too, which makes it not worth it in any aspect.

In Batman #71 Batgirl calls Ric (Dick) to come help Batman.

Jason's response was great. Really echoed a lot of reader's feelings I bet, lol.

end it talon kill them all

Jurgan’s doesn’t have the balls, and honestly that kind of thing is not what he’s on the title to do. The Nightwings are a reflection of the people behind Ric creative and professional ability, and they are going to protect their shit.

end it talon kill them all

...Is it wrong that I'm rooting for Talon ?

[Restingvoice]

end it talon kill them all

Dick's not even on the cover now. I don't know if I should be happy or not because I don't want to see Ric on the cover.

[Schumiac]

Talon breaking the Nightwing logo... It should change really, given "Ric" wants nothing to do with Batman and is not part of that world anymore & is not even Nightwing. Doesn't look like it will change anytime soon either. So just rename the book "Nightwings" change the logo and be done with it.

And those amateurs should not be able to take down Talon...

[Godlike13]

Ya, Ric wants nothing to do with that world. He just want’s to be the Nightwings sidekick. Cause, well, he doesn’t even know why.

As it happens, Seeley just had a very interesting Twitter discussion about superhero comics as Shock Porn. He didn’t reference Ric, and I can’t link right now, but his Twitter handle is @HackinTimSeeley. Might be worth a look.

Maybe they could try shocking us with some friggin quality Nightwing?

That would be really surprising.

It was called "Grayson".
And then it was called "Nightwing by Tim Seeley".
And then it was gone.

Right??!! So he wants nothing to do with the Bat family, doesn't want to be Nightwing, YET... he wants to be the sidekick to these wannabe-vigilantes?! WTF!!
