Dick Grayson: Robin/ Nightwing/ Agent 37 Appreciation 2021

[Digifiend]

James Jr was "created" by Scott Snyder to act like a Joker for Dick, imo. But because of him being of the Gordon family, he became more of a Batgirl villain. Well, she is part of the Nightwing book now. So why not bring him together?

Because he was killed off in Batgirl #49 last year.

[Restingvoice]

Supporting cast i think is something he need to build from the ground up, since most characters serve a specific purpose that wouldn't translate well to the new run. But since we know Mayor Zucco is something that Taylor is doing, bringing back Sonya would be great.

Also, one little charater that i always tought it could be a new Sidekick for Dick is Jen, from Nightwing issue #28 and #29 by Higgins. She had her parents killed by Zsasz and she knows his secret identity. After he saved her, Dick gave his mother bracelet to her.

Jen would be his flamebird or something. Especially now with Babs on the book, she could be trained by them both.

Just for the lolz, how about Aunt Harriet Cooper? We haven't seen her interact with him as an adult right

Looks like our boy will make an appearance on Damian's book.

Oh so this is farewell

Because he was killed off in Batgirl #49 last year.

That's not a problem ^^

Just like when he was killed off in Simone's Batgirl?

I would love to see her again. When Rebirth was announced, I hoped she would return. Technically Nightwing fell off the face of the Earth two times now. It wouldn't seem out of place to me if she decided to show up in Blüdhaven.

Goodbye, maybe? I'm just wishing for something heartfelt. It's been so long.

Lol Look you got a Hot Toys figure:

Oh, it's the team who did that one short homage of Game of Death with Nightwing climbing the floors to save Damian. I really liked that story.

He looks younger here than he did in the actual movie.

[Ascended]

So that statue or action figure or whatever the hell it is....that's well made. A little *too* well made. Did anybody ask for this? Like, where was the outcry for more reminders of those awful movies?

I mean, the actor....what's his name? Probably Chris something? He probably could've been a decent Dick Grayson in a better film, but this is one of the few Dick Grayson products where I'm instantly at "Nope, don't even want it."

Hot toys are very popular and will probably sell a ton. If they made this version in the future, i would probably try to buy it.

So, inspired by another topic, i made what i think is a cool rogues gallery for Dick, mostly made with villains connected with him, but without deep ties with other franchises.



Saiko was a one-off villain that had connections with Dick by being his childhood friend from the Harley Circus. Is he cool like his name suggest he is? No! But he is here for ocasional fights scenes and to help others villains in some schemes.

I know some people around here don't like him, but Blockbuster is part of the Nightwing mithos alongside Bludhaven. And he can work as a mastermind, kingpin or brute type of villain.

Shrike is back with the Suicide Squad. It's fair to bring him to fight his original nemesis. And if he is doing good in the other books, it helps to boost up Dick fighting prowess.

I know Mr. Minos died. It's something that Seeley keep doing to his villains. But he could had transferred his conscience to another body or whatever. They don't show his face, so who cares? And he is also a character from Dick's time as Agent 37, and a good way to remined thoses times.

Lady Vic has been around the DC universe for quite some time, looks like she'll be fighting Damian in his upcoming book. If she is around, why not fight Nightwing sometimes?

So Deathwing is here more for the name than anything. Seeley version was a Dollotron, but Taylor could rework him to be another person or something. I thought of Tad, but he is lame asf.

Let's face it, Cobb is more of a Nightwing villain now than Batman's. So he has to be here.

Judge was another One-off villain created by Sam Humphries that i thought it could be cool to come back. He is more linked to the spiritual side of things, something that the other ones don't have.

Once again another villain that Seeley killed. But he is too cool to be dead forever. And he has ties to the Court of Owls, they could bring him back.

James Jr was "created" by Scott Snyder to act like a Joker for Dick, imo. But because of him being of the Gordon family, he became more of a Batgirl villain. Well, she is part of the Nightwing book now. So why not bring him together?

Remember the end of "The Bleeding Edge" arc? Me neither cause it didn't happen! It was cut short cause of the Ric Grayson mess. The concept was cool and it's worth to be explored again, except with less Dick hating tecnology for whatever reason.

And then Flamingo. I was looking for a villain for his Bat Era that wasn't completely absorbed by Bruce, so i choose him to represent the DickBat years. Not the most well developed of the bunch, but this could change right? And he kick ass.

What you guys think?

Solid list. I too am hoping for the return of Minos and Raptor, love both of those guys. Really love the idea of Flamingo returning, for a costume standpoint he’s a fantastic foil to Dick. Nightwing is a bright bombastic circus kid who fights crime, going up against a bright flamboyant criminal. He could be Dick’s Bane, his “Shadow Archetype” but they’d need to cure his brain damage when he came back so he can have more of a personality to play off of.

Chris O'Donnell
He's a lot of 90s gay boys' awakening apparently
Ah
Do you think they notice the sales for Kotobukiya Bishonen Nightwing and decided... you know what the other untapped market is?

Well, I'd say it took them long enough to notice that untapped market. xD Let em have it.

• Originally pitched as a GRAYSON one-shot, "Freefall" is 20 pages of Dick falling from near earth orbit while fighting gnostic cyborgs.
• It was the first one-shot we ever wrote at @DCComics, right after BATMAN & ROBIN ETERNAL.
• It was the story that got us working on GRAYSON.

Of course, he's freaking fighting while free-falling from orbit

[Godlike13]

Just like when he was killed off in Simone's Batgirl?

This is hilarious. I feel spiritually he is suppose to be naked or something.

That sounds like a pretty cool idea for a story.
