Oh please. You do not have the butt for it.

Is this a Reign of the Supermen riff?

[katefan]

Honestly it reminds me of what happened in the pages of Ms. Marvel a few months ago. Damn, now I'm in a quandary; if I thought it was silly in the pages of Ms. Marvel then logically I should find it silly here. :)

Coming soon...
Nightwings?
(Don't tell Robert Silverberg...)

So which one of them gets the disco collar outfit? Please don't let it be the woman in the group...

[obsidianwolf]

So Mystery of the Batwoman mixed with typical new vigilantes go too far storyline probably.

[zer0man]

My only question: Who's gonna get the disco collar outfit?

[deh_tommy]

Who isn't going to get the disco collar outfit?

[icon_uk]

We have three blokes and one woman, and a costume which is routinely mocked for being unmanly, who do you THINK is going to get the DiscoWing outfit in a story this obvious?

[zer0man]

The firefighter, with the lady getting the Redwing outfit and the vice guy getting the early 90's outfit.

[icon_uk]

As you might imagine, i would have no problem with that.

Alas...

So a cop finds one of Dick's bunkers and somehow breaking into it doesn't set off alarms in the Batcave, Titans Tower and wherever the JLA is working from these days?

As Dick noted in the last storyline, Dick has about a dozen Pentagon's worth of secrets in his head, involving just about every superhero going. Even if he can't access those memories he's a ridiculous security risk to let walk around, and even more to leave his various bunkers so easily accessible.

[lordultimus]

Well, to be fair, Dick set it on fire an let it be destroyed as far as he knew.

Mind you, it's still rather irresponsible for him not to double check and make sure it was destroyed.

[icon_uk]

Ah, so it's the same bunker then?

Wouldn't it have made more sense for the one who works for the Fire Department to have found the bunker?

[lordultimus]

Fire department did, but he examined the scene since it was technically a crime scene (as in, arson). He reached the gear before the firemen did and hid them before they could find it.

[icon_uk]

Thanks, haven't made it to my LCS yet! :)

"This is a great plan and I'm excited to be a part of it"

So how many of them do you think will be dead when this is over?

[tianyulong]

Is it wrong that I like the concept? Don't get me wrong, It'll probably turn into another "vigilante fell off the slippery slope because killing is bad mmkay?" type story, but I think this premise could be really fun if executed well.

[lordultimus]

The idea is certainly interesting, but it's the kind of thing that can only be fully explored in noncanon material.

[joetuss]

...yeah, all these guys are gonna die.

[zachbeacon]

I could see one of them living, becoming a regular supporting character for the real Nightwing for a while, and then being forgotten about completely next time the creative team changes.

The other three will be lucky to make it three more issues though.

[steverequin]

I predict them a short carreer. 7 issues, top. Then, one will die, one will become a cripple, one will go back to his/her old life, one will become, I don't know, Eveningfeather, and have his own series that will last for 30 issues, until Dr Manhattan has sex with Beaula Solomon-Zoom (a female clone of some future superspeed guys) and they birth a new rebooted DC universe in which all the Nightwings were all fellow kid trapezists adopted by the Graysons, and...
