Dick Grayson: Robin/ Nightwing/ Agent 37 Appreciation 2021

[Avi]

Not surprised that Haley won. It was the only non-generic name. What I don't like is that even more people will write Haly's wrong now...

In what supposed to be the 30th anniversary he was strapped to Murder Machine, killed, retired, then became a secret agent, but the hater's gone now, and the 40th anniversary is still 3 years away so we'll see

Touché. At least the secret agent bit wasn't bad. For most.

I don't think Donna and Kori had anything to do with the first Nightwing suit? Kori did design the second one though.

Didn't Alfred make the first suit out of John's old Flying Grayson costume? Considering Taylor is focusing on Alfred's and Dick's relationship that would be a cool thing to bring back. But I also like the idea that Dick's over-the-top-ness was encouraged by Donna and Kory.

Also for the Nightwing #250 milestone issue he was running around as Ric, lol. Then for the upcoming Detective Comics #1038 issue which marks the 1000th anniversary issue for Dick's first appearance he isn't even in the story. Anniversary stuff hasn't been great for him so far.

The next milestone/anniversary would be Nightwing issue #300 which should be soon I think, but odds are DC isn't going to do anything for it.

Wasn’t that the faux kori

4 + 153 + 30 + 78 = 265 issues of Nightwing. If you count Grayson you can add another 20 to that. Anniversary is either one year away or three depending on if you include Grayson, assuming Nightwing ships 12 issues a year.

The pup has a name.

just so cute

Just read that issue this past weekend.

Damned fine issue, especially for fans of the old 40s era serials and the Golden Age in general. And Yang's voice for this young Dick Grayson is pretty damn perfect; he's capable and confident, still acts like a kid, and is just so damn fun I found myself smiling almost every time he had a line of dialogue.

Yang isn't someone I ever considered for Nightwing, but after that B/S issue, I sure as hell wouldn't argue with him taking a shot at the main canon, adult Grayson.

With that in mind...

"Between Batman and Robin – I love Batman as a character, I think every character does – but I feel this tighter affinity for Robin. I like Robin a little bit more."

I don't think they are looking that closely at Dick's overall Issues. But they seem to have something planned for #100 at least. That'll probably be the soonest celebration of anything and will fall into '23. Without Grayson that would leave us at Issue #287.

Seriously.

Glad Haley won, but it should have been "Haly."

[Drako]

Well, people still write Damien instead of Damian and Connor instead of Conner (Superboy). At least the Haly name doesn't come up in discussions so often.

[Grayson - The Dark Heir]

Haly's always referred to a man, not sure if the name can be used for anyone, but Haley is definitely used for women so it fits the little pupper given we know it's female.

How is it gender specific? Haly is a surname, not a first name.

Deathstroke and... Brutale?



No. Brutale is in Lazarus Tournament. Is this island a dumping ground for Nightwing villains or something? That's 7 already, and 2 more are in Suicide Squad.
