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

If because of this nonsense we expect Nightwing to start wearing protective headgear, then I also demand Batman stop meeting with Gordon on top of the same rooftop every time he lights up the signal, because THAT played a major part in the assasination. Normally Bat-family are supposed to be hard to snipe as they hide in shadows and are stealthy and are the ones to do the sneaking up, but on top of that rooftop they are an open target and easy to find... When you think about it, the Bat Signal is a stupid way of communication for Gordon and Batman to have in this technological age... Very outdated, inconvenient, and exploitable... Gordon can still light it to intimidate criminals etc but the real communication method can be a secure wireless line between them. But it is one of the things that makes Batman, Batman, so has to stay as is. As does Nightwing's costume.

Dick Grayson/Nightwing IS worth double shipping. Hobo Ric & Nightwing-Wanna-Bes are not, they are not even worth a monthly shipping. Not surprised during this time they cut back on the shipping as the creators have absolutely nothing to fill these issues with and I am sure even writing this comic monthly is a pain in the ass for them -thus the dismal state the comics is in... Ric is just a filler character meant to waste our time (and money) as King takes his sweet time with his Batman story which requires Dick to be out of commission as cant have him help keeping Batman sane and safe... And DC probably didn't want to cancel a well selling title and wanted to continue to cash in so instead of "he is in recovery/hospital, so on hiatus" we got this Ric stuff where he is back but isnt.

I don't think Didio would get rid of Dick. The amount of constant feedback he gets about Wally, if Dick was taken too a huge part of the DC fanbase would be pissed. He's had his fun torturing Wally fans right now, I think Dick fans getting pissed would be too much for him. I'm finally starting to see Dick fans across social media actually getting upset about Dick's situation, finally.

This is my feeling as well. It's hard to ignore the profitability of the IP. It's outlived Arrow and Titans, despite both having successful larger media adaptations. It sells with the kind of consistency most titles wish they could find. Dick's one of the most well connected characters in DC, has been around longer than 95% of the other big names.....really, the only reason to *not* push Dick is because the sales ceiling seems low; even the much loved Grayson series didn't get much higher than the usual sales average. But it's easy to counter that specific failing (and its not even really a failing) simply by pointing out that Grayson succeeded without the brand power of the Nightwing title and costume.

I've maintained from the start that Dick is too big for Didio to hold down for long and I still believe that. But I was wondering what everyone else thinks, with this new smaller schedule seemingly confirmed.

I expect Dick to get folded into the Titans upon return to coincide with his evolution into Nightwing in Titans S2.

Alfred with a little ponytail is AWESOME.

Back to the topic at hand, I think Didio is UTTERLY INSATIABLE when it comes to torturing Dick Grayson fans. He's tired of being sweet-talked out of his greatest ambition of killing Dick so he's doing it indirectly by essentially writing the character out of his own book.

Not inspired, it's actually a scene from the movie.

They change the art style for some of the scenes.

A lot of people didn't like "Batman Ninja" but I thought it was crazy fun.

Dick has 3 minutes of screen time in it and he’s already more heroic and fun and in-character than him In his own main comic series. “We got you, Bruce.” Networking like a boss in his time in Japan before Bruce came, and a leader of the bunch in the end credit.

It doesn’t take much to make a great character like Dick Grayson shine. I’m amazed that Didio was creative enough to find a way to write Dick out of his OWN book.
