I NEED YOU ALL TO UNDERSTAND JUST HOW HARD I LOST MY SHIT ABOUT THIS Because looking at this from Bruce's point of view is really funny, like they're driving on the highway, probably going like 80mph and suddenly there's a KNOCK ON THE WINDOW, you roll it down to see your eldest child on a hang glider who just wants to say hi, where he had to have angled that thing VERY PRECISELY to be able to knock on the window and not scrape those overly large wings on the ground or on the car, but this demon child of yours did it anyway because he thinks it's funny and all of that is very funny. But the real kicker was when I scanned back up to look at Alfred's face and promptly fucking LOST IT.

THAT MAN IS LOOKING IN THE SIDEVIEW MIRROR AND HE HAS TO SEE THIS IDIOT GRANDCHILD OF HIS COMING THIS IS THE FACE OF A MAN WHO SEES THAT HANG GLIDER COMING AND KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT RICHARD GRAYSON IS ABOUT TO DO THIS IS THE FACE OF A MAN WHO HAS SEEN SOME SHIT AND STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT HE'S SEEING AND HE IS SO TIRED DOWN TO HIS VERY BONES LOOK AT HIM, THAT IS THE FACE OF A MAN WHOSE SOUL HAS LEFT HIS BODY, HE DOESN'T EVEN SIGH, HE DOESN'T LET BRUCE KNOW THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN ALFRED JUST JUST LOOKS OVER, SEES THIS HAPPENING, AND DOESN'T SAY A SINGLE FUCKING THING.

thinking again about that time tim broke into dick’s apartment in bludhaven and immediately started making fun of his home security the moment dick walked in the door 

nightwing (1996) issue 6

and then the next time we see someone break into dick’s apartment (this time it’s a stranger trying to rob him) we find out that he has installed a human-sized glue trap in front of his home entertainment system (and coincidentally, right next to the window)

nightwing (1996) issue 12

this is a cartoonishly deranged thing for dick to put in his apartment as actual security but also i believe with my whole heart that this was meant for tim. this is cruel and unusual punishment for some random home invader but completely justified if it was actually meant to clown on one’s annoying younger brother all along

#tim drake #dick grayson #they are the funniest brothers in the world #if tim did get caught in this i imagine his form of retaliation would be making a complex rube goldberg machine involving seven live weapons #but the actual purpose of it is to pie dick in the face at the very end. #dc #batman #spins speaks #nightwing #bro his tackle broke an entire piece of furniture goddamn #casualties of sibling interactions #batfamily #batfam headcanons #nightwing 1996 #i would not recommend this run btw. #queue and what toaster

I realized that the OOC arc where where Cass is suddenly evil and talkative and the time Jason was impersonating Nightwing and killing people happened at the same time in universe and in real time.

That’s pretty funny. Dad takes two kids on a trip and the middle siblings decide to ruin their favorite siblings life while everyone is out.

Dick Grayson the sexy museum curator

It was so on brand. Enough with the fanon himbo bullshit, I wanna see more of Dick Grayson the (canon) history nerd.

Here's Dick being a bookworm and nerding out an issue earlier.

Here's Dick enjoying a date with fellow history buff Deborah Poulos. And Dick, who understands legacy and loss more than anyone, toasting to the recently passed Bart Allen with Wally West (and Wally and Roy Harper ribbing him for being a geek).

Maybe this is why he gets on so well with superhero historian Jesse Chambers.

History is so thematically important to Dick; he's the last Flying Grayson, the first sidekick ever and the first superhero to grow up. He passed the baton on as the first Robin, honored a Kryptonian heritage as Nightwing, was a mentor to a new generation of heroes as a Titan, and became the poster boy of LEGACY as Batman.

Sources: Nightwing #140-143 and Titans (1999).

Head full of around 30 yo Dick and Donna sitting and talking one late night and Liu and Terry come up. Dick was not even 17, Donna was around 19. Now they're both around the age Liu and Terry were. Those two relationships happend like a little more than two years apart, neither of them can call it what it was even after all this time, just imagine Dick and Donna finally unpacking everything. Devastating.

Might write this as a fic but idk

Okay, so when Dick Grayson is in Civilian Mode, he has pretty wavy hair when it's long.

Those are waves!!!

But as Nightwing he is often (not always) depicted with pretty straight hair when it's long. We do have confirmation that The Whip Tm (his super long ponytail) isn't all hair, but it is still all of his hair.

My conclusion: if he has time, he straightens his hair before going out as Nightwing. In emergencies he does not take the time to do so.

Thinking about One Year Later time skip that comics had and since my first comics I started reading a ton around this era for were Batfam, I generally was pretty neutral-to-positive on it, because I think many batfam comics (Batgirl excepting, getting into that soon) benefited from the OYL time skip or at least were not negatively affected. HOWEVER reading more comics that took place at that time I am getting more negative on it, so anyway here is my breakdown on which titles were benefited by the OYL time skip, were neither benefited nor harmed, and were harmed by the OYL time skip.

Benefited from the OYL time skip:

Nightwing: Look there are no words for how bad nightwing comics were before the time skip. I know they weren't great after the time skip either but Dick was in drastic need of like some status quo reset. He just got sent through whump city and spent a long time failing at everything.

Robin: Similarly tim's comics also sucked before OYL time skip. it was bad. Willingham had that american military fetish group. Sure tim's still edgy and angsty but at least he got out of that. Tim having time to collect himself after mourning was also a good thing.

Teen Titans: there are no words for how bad the start of geoff johns teen titans run is. it's bad. Geoff Johsn doesn't understand the characters, Cassie's main character trait is "girl". Yeah Geoff Johns is still the writer at first but the team switch up allows us to see some new characters.

Neither benefited nor harmed:

Outsiders: I think the idea of outsiders going under cover for a long time is a neat one, however the way winick handles it is not. i'd say they got some benefits in that the comics felt kind of disjointed and chaotic and they got a nice clean reset, but some drawbacks in that no anissa/grace falling in love on screen (just a flashback) and the intro-plotline to bring them back was stupid.

Birds of Prey: I think they end the Infinite crisis plotlines pretty well and start back up with the time skip fine. Just smooth sailing in general. But they also were not in dire need of a reset, so it's not like they needed the time skip.

Harmed by the OYL time skip:

Wonder Woman: Like. I feel like hypothetically ti could've been done OK. But it was not. it just cut Diana's ambassador time short, she had some nice tie-ins but it wasn't worthy it, and the satisfying development Rucka did for the greek gods was completely ignored and forgotten by every single other writer it's so frustrating. Fully convinced they didn't even care about WW1987 when starting WW2006

Aquaman: Sub Diego was just erased in the TIE IN comics for 52 like tie in comics for an event not even the event itself and certainly not the solo title. and then suddenly Aquaman's gone and replaced by another blond guy named Arthur Curry. the plotlines pre infintie crisis also felt pretty rushed to completion. like they clearly got cut off.

Batgirl 2000: IDK if this coutns, because they cancelled her comic (rather than unsatisfying continuation after time skip) but I'm counting it b/c from what I remember they cancelled her comic b/c they were playing around with the idea of having a kate kane batwoman solo and didn't want 2 female lead batman titles at the time, and kate kane came out of 52. however. can't remember the source so don't quote me on it. (also. ofc kate didn't get a solo either they had no female lead batman titles)

Jason is... canonically attractive...?

Nightwing #119

I mean, maybe it's just the suit? But it sounds like Cheyenne thinks Jason is conventionally attractive...

Bats are very serious superheroes and you should take them very seriously and DEFINITELY not laugh at them when they break the shiny new toys they just stole from Batman like five hours ago.

I’ve created a Medium, and am starting things off with a bang, talking about Devin Grayson’s and Marv Wolfman’s runs on Nightwing. Warnings for sexual assault, suicide, and abuse.

Another thing I noticed in Nightwing (1996) read. Dick liked being a cop. I know ew but it was true.

I've seen fans try to justify Dick being a cop with saying he only went in take out corrupt cops. This is true. Dick went in assuming the whole department was trash.

However, Dick loved being a cop. He has multiple people telling him to quit, including Babs and Bruce and he kept it because he enjoyed. He was happy working as cop and being Nightwing at night. Despite that this made Nightwing's work suffer. Dick was the happiest of all of the series while he he was cop. If you read Nightwing 1996 Issue 75 you see proof there.

You can interpret this as Dick enjoying working in teams or public but he liked being a cop. I lean towards teams since he was also happy with the Titans.

It was pretty funny that everyone react to him being a cop is "why would you do that to yourself?"
