Dick Grayson: Robin / Nightwing Appreciation 2020

Yeah, I'd kind of prefer his First being Kori.

Agreed. All-time favorite couple from DC:

He knows a great editor. We need to somehow have Dick outside of Batman's editor office. Which would never happen? If there is a way within the Batman office he should get his own.

Marv Wolfman's Nightwing run was pretty ****. A real punch in the gut using it basically as a platform for his upcoming Vigilante book.

I have to ask. Is Dick actually heir to Wayne ? Or Damian? I mean due to the fact Dick is consider kinda of like the first born does he have the heir rights ?

Not even before the New 52 was Dick an heir to Wayne, it was Tim.

[Godlike13]

It was Dick. He literally inherited a Wayne

[L.H.]

He allowed Morrison to make Dick Batman because he allowed any writer with a good reputation to do anything.

That's exactly my point. Nightwing book (and Titans, too) keeps living in the shadow of the great writer with the great title. The same happened with Damian, during Snyder Batman run: he didn't want to write Damian, and Robin just disappeared.

About the Wayne heritage: in the first Nightwing Annual, Bruce stated that Dick was his heir to Wayne Corp. Then Tim was adopted and started acting like the heir. Then again, when Bruce died, Dick stated that he didn't want to run Wayne Corp, and Damian took his place. Right now, seems that Dick is kinda the heir of Batman, while Damian is the heir of Wayne Corp, probably togheter with Tim. I bet Jason will have the cars

Should Dick ever be the heir ?

[Digifiend]

There's a reason why Dick isn't the heir. He was never officially adopted. Whereas Tim was, after his real parents died, and Cassandra Cain had been too. Both of those were retconned out when New 52 happened. Damian, as his actual biological son, would be the legitimate heir nowadays.

[AmiMizuno]

What wait? Why wasn't he officially adopted? Weird

[Restingvoice]

He was officially adopted, but it came in late.

As for why it didn't happen immediately, it's because Bruce was too young at that time and didn't think of himself as a parent. In some interpretation, I think Bruce also feels like he doesn't have the right to claim parenthood from the Graysons, though I don't remember where I got this one.

Bruce and Dick kinda just happen. A natural mix of two orphans who lost their parents to crime, crime fighters, mentor-apprentice, brotherhood, guardian-ward, maybe father-son but they never say it. Two people having fun and make the best of their situation.

Then before they realize it, Dick has already grown up and left the Manor. So Bruce also felt like it's not needed anymore or that it's too late.

Looks nice. Seems they'll acknowledge a little more of his Romani heritage.

Late, but still before Tim and Cass.
