Dick Grayson: Robin, Nightwing, Agent of Spyral Appreciation 2018

[Onthetrapeze]

I think Lobdell is doing great for Jason. Maybe it's because he feels a certain amount of ownership for him or whatever, but I always read RHATO every month. It would be nice to have any writer and/or artist interested enough in Dick to give him some good stories. As for HIC, I laughed the first time I saw that cover--DC will put Nightwing on a cover to help sell a book but that's all we'll get.

Dick on that cover looked great. It's a shame that we couldn't get more Nightwing from Clay Mann.

It also annoys me that it seems that Action Comics is going to do the big Spy Wars arc that the Grayson series never got to do.

At least Moore is back?

But for this story so actually I don't care bc I'm not reading it.

And variant cover by Jeff Dekal. Another silver lining.

Its put up or shut up. Grow some balls and finally let nightwing be his own man or send him with Roy and Wally.

Well, Didio wants to do that. However, Nightwing is too popular, so they wouldn't kill Dick.

The thing is Dick is enough popular to survive many things like Infinity Crisis and New52 reboot. However, Dick isn't enough popular that DC wants develop him (they feel there is a risk for Batman in doing this).


Another problem is that Batman can do almost everything. There are few things that Batman can not be (pretty silly, pretty young, between others), but Nightwing can not do these either.

So, DC will choose Batman over Nightwing. An spy? Batman can do this. A leader? Batman is enough sociable to do this too.

In change, DC can promote Harley Quinn, because she can be things that Batman don't. Harley Quinn can be pretty goofy and silly.

Well I was wrong, sorry guys, this Ric crap is awful and I can’t believe Lobdell is bringing that s*** character Joker’s Daughter. DC should beg Higgans to come back and stay out of his way because right now Nightwing is at an all time low.

Perhaps Didio feels that Ric-ishness will diminish the character's popularity enough to quietly slit his throat in a back alley somewhere without a bunch of rabid Wingnuts coming after his luggage, I don't know--there are more ways than one to kill a character, as we are all aware. Is this his game or does he believe he's doing what's best for the character? I don't know that, either.

Shaving Dick Grayson's head should be a felony.

Most likely. It was a great omnibus too. Art was amazing. Story was exciting. It's also one of the few DC spy books. I'm thinking of buying this to show my hatred of Ric Drunk Man.

NIGHTWING #57

written by SCOTT LOBDELL
art by TRAVIS MOORE
cover by CHRIS MOONEYHAM
variant cover by JEFF DEKAL
Destiny…fate…predetermined inevitability… these are all things that Ric Grayson has struggled to reconcile now that he has been given a second chance at life. A life recently unburdened with years of trauma, defeat and struggle when the hero known as Nightwing was shot in the head. Now, Ric must come to terms with who he is, and what kind of hero he wants to be…if he wants to be one at all. And while Ric is content to walk away from the mantle, one woman has been hiding in the shadows, waiting to solidify an identity of her own…an identity tied for all eternity to the clown price of crime…enter The Joker’s Daughter!

This solicitation isn't different from the #50 and beyond. Ric is still having identity problems. He doesn't want to be Nightwing. There is a Batman-related villain in the shadows. It's just another rehash...
