Gratuitious butt-shot week or not, this is always worth a look

[thebigapricot]

In another thread, I suggested a theme week to showcase the most gratuitous ass shots. And not just panels of Dick Grayson's behind but those of other folks as well. Despite that suggestion to expand the list, I just couldn't ignore this recent gratuitous classic from Secret Six #9. I think I even saw it in the "I love Scans Daily video."

This NEVER gets old.

Thank you, Gail and Nicola! And thank you for this post.

I was really hoping it was this shot when I clicked. And it was!

Those are some seriously perfectly sculpted buns. Homina!

[retro_nouveau]

I approve!

[sistermagpie]

I'm sure I've seen your icon picture before but...wow. That's not even subtext, is it?

[jasper_stars]

I see your icon and all I can say is "Yes, please!"

[thebigapricot]

Well, I knew you'd like it. :)

[mad]

YES! You know what I love about this? Gail gives the character actual justification for him being posed that way! And of course, Nicola Scott draws it so very well. Cheesecake/beefcake with a brain behind it!

And yes, that panel is in the video. It was very, very hard choosing images for it, but I knew we just had to have Dick Grayson's beautiful behind in there.

You and King both did a great job on that video BTW -- is that you at the beginning? And it made sense to include it as Mr. Grayson's butt is a very important part of S_D.

[kingrockwell]

Giving credit where it's due here, the video portion was pretty much all Maddy (in the same way the audio was mostly me, but i guess they're equally important halves to the whole).

[mad]

Thanks! And yes, that's King and I talking during the intro (though I cringe at the way I said "motto", lol). I also snagged the "I love batdickery" line, because I am a greedy bastard. XD

[sistermagpie]

This is the shot they put in the dictionary under "butt-shot". Can't quite call it gratuitous in canon because it's intrinsic to the plot! Too bad the people he's speaking to would be so mesmerized by the butt they couldn't concentrate on what he's saying.

[nezchan]

He's saying things?

[leorising]

Motto! I had to go back and look!

[joasakura]

That really is the gold standard of nightwing ass shots. :D

the king of gratuitous butt shots

[3goodtimes]

Oh Dick... I hate it when you leave, but I love watching you go.

[zordboy]

"If you're not gone when I turn around... guys, my eyes are up here."

"Sorry Nightwing. You were saying something?"

"Yes! I was being dramatic and threatening and... oh fuck it, never mind."

"... what?"

[nothingbutcake]

'...oh fuck it—'

'Well, if you insist.'

[elf]

[nagaoka]

Ah yes! This is also the most cruel of all gratuitous butt-shots. It comes with a horrid catch-22. Either you have to leave....or he'll just turn around anyways. :(

*can't stop laughing*

[jelly_ace]

The epitome of the gratuitous Dick Grayson ass-shot, in my opinion. Not that I've seen all of them, mind you (although I would definitely want to see them all. Anyone up to the challenge?)

I'm forever grateful for Gail and Nicola for this. Forever and ever. Maybe S_D should honor them? Maybe with a Gail and/or Nicola week?

[lea_hazel]

It's mesmerizingly shiny/

[pennyplainknits]

Oh my!

*saves*

[nezchan]

Personally, I want Gail to come up with some justification for Dick to present his butt throughout the entirety of an issue. Just for the challenge.

And DAT ASS.

[team_mummy]

FRIES, MEET SHAKE!

[leorising]

*sighs* How lovely...so much yummy in such a tight little package area...
