Dick Grayson: Robin, Nightwing, Agent of Spyral - Appreciation

[Ascended]

Wasn't that in "Batman Beyond"?

I have no idea. I never watched the whole show. Not much of a cartoon guy, though my kids have ensured I've seen more than I wanted to.

Justice League Action is great, btw.

Gym owner huh?

??

Okay. Sure, why not?

[Godlike13]

It’s not gymnastics gym but a fitness gym.

[yohyoi]

Those are some damn good glutes. I'll pay this guy to train me.

[Rakiduam]

Super lame. It's really looking like it will be the less ambitious run ever.

[yohyoi]

Come on guys and gals. Be more positive

[Barbatos666]

Well the job thing isn't something to get positive about imo but hopefully the other areas mentioned by Humphries get the lions share of the focus.

I guess it's better than bar-tending. Or street-sweeping. Or riding on the garbage truck.

Nah. We will get 4 pages of 9x9 panels with Dick explaining his exercise routine. Hahahaha.....

No--four 9x9 pages of Dick DEMONSTRATING his exercise routine . . . . with assistance from John and Juan.

Well, "gym teacher" is a different thing than "gym owner" but yeah.

Dick as a teacher strikes me as very fitting. Dick being a small business owner who runs a gym? Not so far outside the realm of his character, but still feels a bit odd.

If i remenber correctly Dick was directing or owned some sort of business in the 70s, during his college days and Humphries seem to be bringing a lot of that era back, so it doesn't sound so bad on paper.

So totally unrelated note here.

On our way to Last Jedi today, the wife and I were fancasting the DCU (we get *really* damn bored driving) and we've decided that Ben Barnes, the actor who plays Billy Russo in Netflix's Punisher, could make a great Nightwing. He's pretty, he's got the right body type (he'd have to hit the gym but who doesn't), and he's a skilled actor if Punisher is any indication. He's even Romani!

He's 36, according to Google, which is old for Nightwing. But with an older Batman established in the DCEU it's not *as* bad, and the dude could pass for being much younger.

Wasn't he barely 18-19 in the 70's?

I'd guess that was probably the "Teen Wonder" days.

He studied business or economics, but never ran a business himself as far as I am aware of. He was a part of his school paper and and outreach program for young kids.
