I love it when artists remember Kory is taller than Dick. His little smirk is killing me.

Does a court of owls batman game mean good things for our boy?

You could very easily excise Dick out of the story. I love the Arkham games but the stories are pretty basic and they are not really that great at character development. It would be easier to stream line it and focus it around Bruce. That would be my guess anyway

Did they ever named which elementary and middle school Dick go?

I know in Dixon's run, Dick went to public school because he felt more comfortable there than at a private or prep school. In Young Justice, he goes to Gotham Academy.

In Robin Year One, he goes to the Bristol Middle School, In comics set at the beginning on his career (that gibe any indication about his age) he is usually to old for elementary school.

and he's homeschooled in Haly's since they travel a lot

Right, he was elementary-school age (8) when he was taken in by Bruce in the Golden age, but post-crisis his age was bumped up to 12. If there's anything about elementary schooling it would be during that era.

I often thought all the robins that have gone to the same school. I mean even going to public schools doesn't mean they are bad. There are specialized public schools. Even at a young age.

Thats also pretty dubios imo, his age is never clearly stated, and imo there is stuff in his first comics that implies that he is older.

The first time age 8 is really stated is in New Teen Titans in the 1980s, and it iirc contradicted what stated in the Batman comics from that era.

And I have still yet to find a comic were Dick is clearly shown to be Robin as an elementary school kid.

That's my ideal Grayson haircut.

The HIVE are pretty lame and always have been, but (despite debuting in a Superman comic) they purely belong to Nightwing and the Titans.

The Court is slightly less lame, but has to be shared with Batman, so it cancels out as being much of an improvement.

Of course, HIVE was one of several villains stolen by Arrow from Nightwing (Brother Blood and Deathstroke too).

Isn't there that Golden Age comic where Batman is spanking Dick on his birthday? And he gives him 8 or 9 spanks and one to grow. So it is implied he is 9 or 10 I think then, but that era it isn't like they paid attention to character ages that much.

Found it.

[AmiMizuno]

With Deathstroke, he is a hit man for hire so. But yea it sucks. I mean can the Hive work? I mean Brotherblood and hive often worked together.

The first time I saw his school was when he's dancing at a school party and met DC's Ant-Man, and during Kathy and Bethy Kane's era, but it's not clear how old he is. He can be 12-14.

The earliest school situation was when Dick infiltrated a boy's dorm in another school. This one is before the birthday spank, but even during that time, Dick isn't shown to go to school anywhere besides this.

I think this is my favorite hair length for him.
