Okay so, I am an ex red piller, after why first rejection and heartbreak, I decided to follow these red pill communities and consumed a lot of red pill content online. If you have been like me you know how much red pill is obsessed with Masculinity like Batman , Someone who is cold, dark and serious all the time. Someone who is traumatized because of a tragedy in his life and so he became a Vigilante. I am a big Batman Fan but Once I started reading Nightwing comic books I now realize that Nightwing is actually more Masculine than Batman.

Nightwing also had a traumatic event where he lost his parents but unlike Batman who distanced himself from his emotions and became cold and dark , Nightwing after training under Batman became someone who moved on from That Trauma and became a Super Hero who helps people of Bloodhaven. He still trusts people, he still strives for a better future, he is a leader who trusts his teammates. One of my favorite moments is when Batman was not in Gotham Nightwing wore the Batman Suit and became Gotham's Protector giving people hope. He is charismatic while being serious when it is required, and this is what I imagine true masculinity to be.

Even Batman once acknowledged that Nightwing will eventually surpass him.

PS : English is not my first Language and I wrote this at 3 AM because I couldn't sleep.

I’ve been working my way more-or-less in order through Nightwing, starting from New 52, and I just finished Nightwing 49 from the 2016 series. Nightwing was forced to race in this crazy motorcycle death match to get to Cimialcinnus’s altar and try to save Vicki Vale and Willem Cloke from the sentient computer virus, Vire… Then all of a sudden, I’m at the notorious #50 and Nightwing’s been shot. So is the Vire thing just done? Does it circle back eventually?

I get that Nightwing appears in other comics that you kind of have to stay up on as you read, but it makes it insanely hard to come along and binge after the fact without having to backtrack and get major plots spoiled. I knew about the Ric run ahead of time, but it’s still jarring to flip to the next issue on the Infinite app only to realize a ton of stuff happened in between two issues that I have to go hunt down and read.

Maybe I’m doing comics wrong? Anyway…two-part question: does the Vire arc wrap up? And where should I start to get the full lead up to Dick being shot?

It's really not that bad. Just read 1-11. Yeah it's lighthearted and goofy but I was thoroughly entertained the entire time. It's amazing how much more you can enjoy things when you don't take things so seriously. The hate seems incredibly disproportionate to the offenses. It's not a masterpiece but it's far from bad.

*This is not a political post. While some people are likely to discuss tariffs, all discussion should limit to that point.

I regularly visit two different comic chains, with a third chain and the first two's other locations sometimes also ventured, and have found the comics industry, from the brick and mortar level, to be a bit concerned of various developments.

DC went to Lunar long before, and while Diamond's shake-up could lead to some smaller publishers entering troubled waters, that could (in discussed theory) lower overall comics on the stands, leading to more comic stores shuttering, therefore impacting DC.

Further, with current proposed tariffs, many comics print from Canada or ship into the US; this could increase prices, further adding to the weight.

Now, Nightwing sells pretty darn well, and the accolades that Taylor's run accumulated have increased his stock, with many polls for comic fans showing Dick the third most popular DC character, and certainly almost always in top ten. I personally don't think anything immediate will threaten Nightwing, as a series, but I suppose I can see there being less 'experimental' or Elseworld ideas like New World Order or the Titans 'not-quite-canon' books.

I thought it worth, however, asking how folks feel, and creating a space for discussion.

**I will re-iterate, however, this is not a place to discuss politics, but you can discuss the impact of the potential tariffs as it relates to comics/Nightwing.**

I can't seem to find this fanficion where Dick Grayson is in spyral. And Tiger and him are order to get a meta organs. The person in command told Tiger to knock out Dick. Then they swapped the meta organs to his and he got powers for that.

He gain powers form that. He practiced used the new abilities he got. But the the others realized that he is missing so they go out to find him at the moon where there was a base.

Don't remember if it was on Ao3 or fanficion but I can't seem to find it again.

I love Dan Mora’s art and as a new fan I’ve seen many recommendations about nightwing year one so I wanted to get my hands on them but it’s out of stock literally everywhere in Australia. Is this a limited edition? It seems like it’s either I backorder and wait for few weeks or pay $50 just for shipping😀

Nightwing (2016) #84

Batman 55# Daniel tony

Bros trying to tell me how " the studen didn't surprise the master?" Wich is incredibly dumb and how " batmans the best fighter in DC and how nightwing shouldnt be able to catch up to him" the guy didn't know about previous nightwing Vs batman encounters either. Thoughts though " is it dumb if nightwing is as good as batman?" Personally I don't want to be one of thoose " erm I read comics and in obscure issue x🤓 guy"

I just thought of it, is he still trying to get out of Bruce's shadow? Cause, I mean, he pretty much already did so? He's his own persona, already proved himself many times and is rather famous.

Sure, he'll always be remembered as the first Robin, he can't exactly escape that, no matter what...

Some people even say that he should just stick to the Titans forever? Is it again to escape Bruce's shadow? In my head it wouldn't make sense since when I think of the Titans one of the first names that I'll think of it'll always be Robin, Batman's sidekick, but I know it can be different for others.

In the end, he'll always be remembered as Robin, but working with the Bat-Family and being close to them or not, I feel like he escaped Bruce's shadow ages ago already.

Don’t mind the goober on the side (my friend drew it)

We already know that the writers of Nightwing's solo comics hate them together, but this really affects the dynamics of the Titans comics.

I think keeping him with Barbara leaves Dick too tied to Batman and Gotham. Kory takes him on a more independent path.

I'm aware that there were more issues with Dick-Bats in Morrison's run, and that's not including the other comics Dick-Bats appeared in during that time, but nonetheless, which did you prefer overall? Which one left more of an impact on you and on the DC universe? Do you prefer Dick as a substitute-Batman or do you think he should genuinely take on the role before someone like Terry comes along?

Also, Damian at the time still had a mixed-to-negative reception with fans, where as Tim had all but reached the peak of his popularity. Which Robin worked better with Dick-Bats?

Just finished reading #10. I have mixed feelings about this comic. Like, I don't know the character's personality too well, but I don't think he would REALLY be that desperate to get girls. Btw, his blonde hair was total crap.

Honestly I feel like if DC went the more Winchester brother route with dick and Jason which they should imo it would be Jason but I would probably say Damien replaced tim

I would but I know some people would prefer to only see him as Nightwing. The Batman fans also seem opposed because they see Bruce as the “definitive” Batman

How did this guy even survive being SHOT IN THE HEAD?!

Can be or can be not related to the ship!

I like Nightwing I think he's cool but I haven't read a lot of his comics. One of the things I really like about him is his evolution from Robin to Nightwing. What I am curious about is how did his character/personality change in the comics as he grew older and became Nightwing.

Did writers start writing him differently? What were the biggest changes to his personality from Robin to Nightwing? What was it like to read his comics back in the day and see his growth/evolution?

I don’t even know how to find the cover artist for this
