"Nightwing" #3 May Have Dissolved One Of the DC Universe's Longest Relationships

[oasis1313]

I'd be totally down with seeing Seeley write Kori with Dick. It would probably be really fun .

Maybe Dick should just keep sleeping around. Wonder Woman doesn't know what she's been missing out on.

I'm with this, I like DickBabs and don't care about Kori, she was just the college girlfriend to me. No one ever remembers her marriage (didn't she have multiple?) and when she was pregnant and happy without Dick. Just have Dick go where ever and be with whatever girl that wants him at this point.

You know, Dick/Kori would make for a perfect open relationship. That way everyone wins. I'm not even kidding. Dick can cleep around. Kori can sleep around. It works.

Problem is that Dick/Kori is not really that interesting in the end of things. So okay she's an alien and he's a human and yes, free love and all that with her species. But I never had an easy time seeing Dick with Kori because of the fact that it seemed like a step between situations. Same thing with Babs and Ted. Honestly, surprise me and have him date Donna, there would be something interesting, or even Omen.

Earth crime-fighting gigolo with legendary butt cheeks falls in love with beautiful alien princess from a sexual paradise planet who happens to be allergic to clothing.


And you don't find this interesting???

I can't speak for Darkspellmaster, but speaking for myself, I couldn't possibly come up with a relationship description more repulsive than the one you came up with. I read it, and what I come away with is that the only reason anybody wants it to happen is so they will have something to which they can spank their monkey.

Look, even Marv Wolfman admitted at one time that eventually he was going to have to break up Dick and Kory. If even the main architect of their relationship admitted they weren't going to last, why does anybody want to resurrect it? Do we really want to create another disastrous nostalgia-porn-fest like Ollie and Dinah?

Cut the crap, it was a joke.

With all due respect to Marv Wolfman, who cares? I'm all for Dick/Kori, and even Ollie/Dinah. A good writer can make it work. I was serious about Dick/Kori being an open relationship though. It just fits them.

IDK, Diana is the older sister of one of his best (platonic) friends, and also in the same age group as his father figure, so I can't see it be anything other than really weird.

That said, I guess adventures in Loving Submission and Kanga Riding could be fun...

Babs/Dick/Kory. Make it happen, DC.

Reading the old Wolfman/Perez issues, I always ended up feeling more bad for Kory than being engaged by their romance. It may have been unintentional on his part, but Dick didn't always treat her very well, especially during the period where he was going through his identity crisis pre-Nightwing. Her being an alien made her seem particularly vulnerable in their interactions. It's not an issue in his interactions with Barbara.

Girls, girls, girls...lol

Anyway, this issue was fire, I think I liked it more than the big guy this week. The story is heating up, owl stuff always interesting to me, and Raptor is awesome. Only Bruce can get away with the idealistic approach in my eyes without being corny, I like the shit that Raptor is talking.

As for Babs, Dick won't lose sleep, but maybe she said some true stuff

Art was good, I like this style and it works for the book. Batgirl looked pretty with the big green eyes.

Dope, solid ass issue, looking forward to the Monster Men crossover. Hope to see some Raptor and Batman interaction...

In my personal experience being best friends with a girl generally leads to a relationship. I would be down for it, it's something I'm surprised hasn't happened yet.

I don't know. I always thought it was a pretty fun, and cool, relationship personally and I like seeing them together, but that's me. I also enjoy him with Babs, so I don't really have a horse in this race.

Though Dick/Kory certainly got a lot of traction through the original Teen Titans cartoon.

[DGraysonWorldsGreatestSpy]

Even if Wolfman planned on breaking up DickxKori he never did until issue 100 which was more a editorial move then an actual storyline. DickxBabs was not pushed as a relationship when it started and when they had her kiss him in the 70's you got the pre-internet reaction you got recently with killing joke. It took BTAS and age/history retcons to both Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon histories to make the relationship match up and the person who introduced it in BTAS has shipped her with Bruce. I don't want to be seen as a DickxBabs basher but I just never saw the value to either character being in a relationship with each other. DickxKori always seemed a natural development that was integral to him showing he could be a headline star and eventually move on from the Robin mantle. I would rather he just go Justice 24/7, have a new relationship, or go back to Kori.

[Gray Lensman]

YJ Dick slept with literally everybody tho

Dick's superpower is to have as many partners as James Bond yet never come across as the bad guy when the relationships end.

[Darkspellmaster]

My main issue with it was that it didn't feel as organic to me. Dick's interest in Kori seemed more, not forced, but like they wanted her to be the Storm of the group who all the guys went gaga over in a lot of ways. Dick always seemed like his main investment was in his "family" and for me the one that would have felt at least some what organic was Donna. They've known each other the longest and yes lots of re-coning in the BTAS, but there's also been recons before then too. Bear in mind that really not till the first incarnation of the TT did we get the teen heroes having any sort of relationship. To me Babs makes the most sense. Someone that gets the batman angle, she has her own deal with her dad, and there's the intricacies in regard to them growing. But that's just me. I just never found Kori and Dick that interesting. I always thought she should be with someone that could match her personality and Dick, never struck me as someone who could, if that makes sense.

I think Dick as a compassionate, strong, free-spirit meshes well with Starfire's personality.
