you call that bleak? 80 years and nightwing has never graced the big screen, if thats what gets him infront of the mainstream I'll take it. If it gets him the name recognition that leads to more opportunity for him I'll take it.
The titans are not be sacrificed, they proably going through a shift, with hawk and dove leaving, It seemed that we would have Nightwing and Star leading the teen heroes, but their spending so much time in Gotham, I feel dick might be needed to stay in the city
I can't disagree with any of this. My ideal Nightwing would be one where Dick Grayson can go anywhere and show up anywhere including space and other dimensions. However, most Batman editors are insistent on the Nightwing title being grounded and street level.
I don't know, Kory blends in just fine if you ask me:
Extremely. 80 years of existence and he is reduced to Babs love interest. If he is going to be stuck as a sidecki better be Batman's sidekick. (If he is in that thing, he is going to be braindead)
So only Dick is being sacrificed? Awesome, that's better. Dick would be having scary alucinations, again, while the young Titans go to have actual adventures.
I can't believe they butchered Trigon and Deathstroke and now they are going to spend a season on Jason's melodrama, it never ocurred to me that one day the Red Hood origen was going to be Dick's problem. The batfamily is the gift that keeps on giving. But hey, Jason would have his show, becuse what we need is more bat shows. And looking at what they did with NTT material, they are going to be done with the outlaws in a month.

The top image isn't from the comic DCU and is from that Raven OGN artist, right? And based more off the Teen Titans cartoon where Starfire is made to look a lot more human. She doesn't look like that in the main DCU. The bottom image is from the 80s where the writing was a lot different, but also Starfire there does stick out. The people around them are staring at them because of Starfire. So I don't think she would really fit in more consistent grounded settings like that.
She's 6ft tall and is orange. She literally shines.
Writers can writer whatever they want, but it obviously would look "fake" to readers if Starfire wasn't attracting unwanted attention. But is that really a problem? Dick and Babs going out for some fast food was fine, but its not like we can't get different stuff from Nightwing. And its not like every single issue would have to feature Starfire, last I checked the book is still called Nightwing and Babs should be packing her bags about now.
Dick and Kory went out all the time while they were together. Dick went out in disguise more often than Kory. Her attracting unwanted attention is imo an incredibly small issue. Writers ignore more important stuff, they could easily ignore this. Kory wasn't even recognized as Starfire in her own solo as far as I remember. I also don't think Blüdhaveners are overly interested in the Titans. Hell, currently, they can't even recognize their own hero when he stands a step in front of them. Even though multiple versions of Nightwing were running around for some time.
Yep.
I think with Taylor having major control with Dick's character and what Dick said in the Titans....it's safe to say which direction it's going in.
I think so many characters in Titans Academy, the focus point won't be that much on Dick, so I do focus on his solo for his character stuff, and really I don't get the vibe Babs is going anywhere anytime soon. She's very much ingrained into the new title.
I don't really see why Taylor has any obligation to follow whats going on in Titans. Especially if Nightwing ends up being the bigger book in the end. Isn't continuity suppose to be loosey goosey now anyways?
