Their starting points were still completely different. The evolution of their friendship is still predicated on their position within the dynamic. I have a very hard time seeing it replicated under this circumstance.

Yeah. The dynamic will be different in thid Robin OGN.
I'm pretty sure there will be a conflict between a New Robin and Old Robin about the Robin identity.
Such changes from main continuity are extremely common in OGNs. After all, these stories are in a totally new continuity.
That was very different. Dick was never threatened by Damian, like how a Tim was, and was the one that welcomed him and tried to be there like how Bruce was for him when he was Robin. Their dynamic was very much a mentor trying to teach and understand his mentee while Dick at the same time was trying to fit into his new role as Batman. They had friction but it was never based off of Dick feeling like his position was being threatened. I kind of expect that to be what their dynamic will be like in this OGN because you can't really have the same dynamic as the comics when Bruce is acting as Batman for both. Like it wouldn't surprise me at all if it is what leads Dick to break away and become Nightwing in this continuity maybe.

Someone from Checkmate compared this Daemon Rose, Lois Lane little brother, to Nightwing saying that this new dude is pretty good.

I guess its good that new characters are now compared to Nightwing to make them sound cool/relevant.

I guess in Williamson's mind that makes the bald kid cool. Everything I have read from him so far has been very frustrating. Some pages are great, but then he writes something very bad/stupid/cringe on the very next page. I'm starting to worry about him becoming next Batman writer.
I don't know. I liked some of his work with Flash, i loved Speed Metal and his Robin book is enjoyable, but the fact that he choose to put a bunch of Nightwing villains to be fodder to his OCs in this tournament kinda pisses me off.
I also don't like the fact that he found a excuse to use Damian killing people with no consequences.

I guess his long term plan is to have guys like bald kid and Respawn as Damian's villains so they need to look "legit". But its not like many people care that one of them killed Raptor and those that do care are probably guys like us who didn't find that cool at all.
Oh yeah, I was thinking about dropping the book entirely when he did the whole "killing is ok if there are no consequences" bit.
