Someone put this as an example of a true perfect modern Superman suit and not the "cheesy one with diapers". I am sorry but you dont like Superman you like Batman cause this shit belongs in the Bat-cave.
I have no interest in a Logan-style Spider-Man 4 starring Tobey. Not every childhood hero for kids from the early 2000s needs to be killed off in a gritty new film.
Let that version of Peter have his happy ending.
It is wild to see a universally loathed run for such a beloved character happening in real time. I feel like usually those runs are just ones you hear about from the past.
I do kinda laugh at the fact so many Dick as Batman panels and covers are confused for Bruce, because that was literally his goal as Batman, to trick people into thinking he was the same guy.
If all you see is pants and a bo staff and think "Tim" then you've got the most surface level understanding of the characters.
He's Nightwing in the episode where Starfire goes to the future. He has the romance with Starfire, the rivalry with Slade. It's Dick.

If you create a Batman that is so grounded that Robin won't work, then you've created a shitty Batman.
Robin was the first sidekick. If your Batman can't have one of the oldest and most pervasive superhero tropes (that started within the Batman world) then you've failed.
A film focusing on Bruce Wayne’s Batman and Damian Wayne’s Robin is in development.
A new actor will be cast as Batman in this film, while Robert Pattinson will continue to play Batman in Matt Reeves’ films.
Rebooting the DCEU has been the move for years, hating on James Gunn for making the smart decision and not continuing to drag the half dead corpse of the DC movie universe is stupid.
Dick doesn't like being Batman. He doesn't want to be Batman.
When he puts on the cowl it's to convince Gotham that he's the same Batman they're used to while Bruce is out of commission.
If you want to give him a unique suit and let him be himself, that's just Nightwing.
People are siding with the megacorporation because they're scared of losing their superhero movie fix.
It sounds like even if Disney/Marvel lose, they still retain co-ownership, and they would just have to actually compensate creators and their families.

Some superheroes they stand to lose:

• Spider-Man
• Black Widow
• Dr. Strange
• Ant-Man
• Hawkeye

Now, I'm no expert, but surely there is also Manga with LGBTQ representation.
This weird reflexive "this is why Manga is 'winning'" whenever these moutbreathers see something they don't like, is stupid.
You mean to tell me the supervillain doesn't have a good relationship with his kid? Shocking. I'm shocked I tell you.
At least he didn't tell her to let a schoolbus full of kids die.
It's pretty remarkable how much better the comic costume skins are than the original designs made for Gotham Knights. Almost like comic artists know how to design superheroes.
Is there some rule that original suits for videogames have to be overly designed and ugly?
New Dick Grayson bat suit dropped.
I still maintain that being Batman should only ever have been a temporary character arc to progress Dick and make him a more self assured Nightwing. But he does look damn cool as Batman.
"Batman is the mask! Bruce Wayne is the mask!"
Bro, people just act differently in different contexts. I'm different at work than I am at home alone, with my friends, or with my family. We all put on different acts for different contexts, it's just exaggerated with Batman.
People are getting really upset by this, as if a 17 year old with the power of Superman and frustration at the state of the world right now wouldn't ask these questions.
Playing Peter Parker was a real double edged sword for Tom Holland. Sure, he has fame and fortune, but now everybody thinks a 25 year old man looks like a teenager.
Like...have you people been teenagers? Do you remember what they look like?
The whole Bruce Wayne is a mask thing really seems to hinge on him acting like the ditzy rich playboy, which is obviously an act. But I can't remember the last time he REALLY acted like that in the comics.. he's been pretty professional as Bruce at least since Batman Inc.

I feel like for any good faith discussion about Batman, you have to first: accept that Batman is a fictional franchise about an adventurer in the same vein as Zorro, primarily directed at kids.
And second: accept that his wealth is simply a plot device to explain his gadgets.
If they do Robin in the sequel to The Batman, I want there to be a big difference in the circus and Wayne Tower/Manor for Dick.
Haly's Circus should be a warm, almost magical place full of life. When he first moves in with Bruce, it's in a big empty house, like a mausoleum.
I'd really like a live action Batman and Robin show on HBO that's inspired by classic Golden/Silver/Bronze age Batman & Robin, with costumes like the one in Superman & Lois' flashbacks.
Kind of a modernized 66 Batman (bit less camp though) or live action BatB.
I miss when Nightwing and others in the Batfamily were actually written to care about secret identities and exclusively using code-names in the field.
It's a really simple rule. If the masks are on and they're out crimefighting, code-names only.
If I were a comics reviewer, I'd dock points every time a Batman writer has Nightwing show up in Gotham with no explanation. He lives in a whole other city!
Nightwing is the ONLY superhero in Blüdhaven, there's like 12 in Gotham. Surely they can handle things.
People act like adding Robin to The Batman is some 4D chess, high level chemistry kind of operation instead of one of the most basic, easy to understand and execute Batman stories.
Boy has same trauma as Batman. Batman takes him in. Boy wants vengeance. Batman makes him a hero.
The Justice League are dead.
Can the Titans step up?
Or are they next to fall?

Lmao, come on. The best Daredevil comics smoke the best Nightwing comics, and the worst Daredevil comics are still better than the worst Nightwing comics.
Daredevil is one of the most consistently well written and illustrated comics in Big 2 comics. Iconic run after iconic run.
The thing with Nightwing I think that people might miss at first glance, is that he takes superheroing as seriously as Batman. He puts in the same amount of work and prep and planning. He just also tries to find fun in it and tell jokes. But he never stops taking it seriously.
Unless your preferred status quo for Batman is what it was in his first 10 issues, then yes, Robin is essential to Batman. The Batman 99.9% of people know and love would not exist without Robin. Batman's development cannot be separated from the existence of Robin.
DC allowing Robin to be framed as a child soldier instead of just a young superhero is one of the most harmful things they ever let happen to a character that massively boosted Batman's sales and contributed a lot not just to DC, but superheroes in general.
She's old enough to be his mother in the comics.
Their relationship ON THE SHOW is more interesting than Dick and Babs ON THE SHOW. But that's the show, not the comics.
Ooh, I see Sam is falling into the same trap a lot of legacy characters get locked in of "repeating the same story of gaining their identity over and over."
See also: Nightwing stepping out of Bruce's shadow once or twice every 10 years.
Marvel VP Nate Moore says that Sam Wilson's journey in Captain America 4 will be about how he earns the Cap title without superpowers. "We're going to put him through the wringer and make him earn it."
I'm cool with Jason dropping the guns (which doesn't necessarily mean he's done killing bad guys), but they gotta give him a different weapon than dual electrified melee weapons. It's just making him Nightwing-lite. And the crowbars are especially stupid.
It makes me worry there will only be these really overdesigned "inspired by" costumes instead of direct adaptations of costumes from the comics like the Arkham games had.
One of the hardest Nightwing vs Deathstroke fights is after Blüdhaven's bombing, when Nightwing breaks Slade's staff, catches his sword, turns his daughter against him, and leaves him a little note promising more is to come.
You mean to tell me you all focused on Dick's death scene in Injustice and not the fact that they did Deadwing!?
They actually adapted one of the coolest things from the Injustice comics and you all just focused on the death part? Shameful.
Ram V writes a good Nightwing. This is the kind of cameo I like, Dick is doing his own thing, but Bruce has time to call him to talk over a case real quick.
Short and simple, doesn't derail anything, but is a nice character moment.
Nightwing, the original sidekick and first one to "graduate" being the speaker at what looks like a memorial for the Justice League is just *chef's kiss*
An epic battle of good vs evil. Heroes vs villains. Big surprises, reunions, the return of lost heroes. As much as this event will have a massive cast & fight scenes, it's really about showing the heroes’ relationships with each other as they are faced with an impossible Crisis.
Cyborg makes no sense as a founding member of the JL. His revamped New 52 origin was worse in every way, and removed all the emotion and heart of his original story with the Titans.
Erasing J'onn's influence and history with the JL is also pretty crappy.
Man, there have been some excellent Robin redesigns the past couple years. I think the core principles of a Robin costume can be made into a perfect superhero costume.
Bold colors, dynamic cape, sleek/simple design, and lots of movement.
Honestly when people say Lois is his only thing that grounds him to humanity I raise my eyebrow. He came to Earth as a baby, he was raised by human parents in Kansas.
I think people have overexaggerated Superman as a god. To me he's just a fundamentally decent man with powers.
Guess I’ll take part too, anyone got any Superman “icks”?
Doesn’t have to be about Superman himself but any supporting characters, story tropes, anything.
Dick Grayson/Nightwing is SUPPOSED to be better than Batman. That's his arc. The character is conceptually bigger than Batman. He's outgrown Gotham and the Cowl. He is meant to be better. To be more.
This is a guy for whom being Batman is just a character arc, not an end point.
If you're still worried about the lack of "realism" of Robin when you enjoy movies about a man in a bat costume and cape who fights gun wielding bad guys with his fists....I don't know, maybe have some self awareness about the absurdity of that?
Putting Nightwing's acrobatics in an M.C. Escher "Relativity" style setting is so creative.
Also "got his ass beat?" He got hit once, by a Lord of Chaos. I think he's doing alright.
He's written like Dick. The stories the show is most inspired by are the New Teen Titans, which was led by Dick.
If you think Dick isn't serious or a responsible leader, then you haven't read many Titans comics.
Props to Dan Jurgens for actually making Dick and Jon look like they're different ages in Road to Dark Crisis.
Too often, artists make older teenagers look the same as 20-30 year old adults.
Batman was mind controlled, the whole plot of the first story was the Justice League was acting weird and the Teen Titans had to fix it.
It's giving you didn't read the comic.
Jason gave up the guns at the end of Zdarsky's story, and somehow people are still managing to blame Tom Taylor for it because Jason's appearance in Nightwing is consistent with his appearances in Urban Legends AND Task Force Z.
I think it's a little strange that people tend to react negatively to the blue and gold Nightwing costumes, but they don't have problems with that color scheme for the X-Men or Doctor Fate.
Has DC just not had an artist do one with the right balance of blue and gold?
