Nightwing - Glimpses of Past, Present and Future

[icon_uk]

It's Saturday, it's been a LONG week and some straightforward fun, and prettiness, is what I feel in the need for.

Luckily, the current Nightwing run is providing that. With Past Present and Future

Past - #78 get's a second printing with a new cover
I always love "history fo Dick Grayson" images and this is a particularly cute example by Bruno Redondo and Adriano Lucas



Present - #79 confirms a long held fan theory
I've lost track of the number of posts I've seen about the idea of the Batfamily having a private social media presence...

In the latest issue, Batfamily groupchat confirmed!



Future - #80 - A brotherly tradition is revisited in preview image
#80 Tim visits Bludhaven, and that can only mean... train surfing for Nightwing and Red Robin!

Train!

Really looking forward to this run getting collected.

This run is shaping up to be a lot of fun. I am glad I decided to pick it up again. Also, yay! Somebody remembers that Cass exists!

Cass and Stephanie Brown are going to be getting backup stories as "Batgirls" (led by Oracle), with the implication that they will eventually get their own Batgirls book. Hopefully written by Vita Ayala, since they wrote their story in Future State and they're an awesome writer.

Yep, that's good news.

I honestly don't understand why DC tries to fix things that aren't broken; Dick Grayson is one of those things. Literally every attempt to shift him from the take we all know and love - threatening to kill him off, giving him some farcical different identity and amnesia - seems to just be a mess; I can only really think of the 'spy' take as something people really took to.

TLDR, it's nice to see a back to basics sort-of thing after that Ric Grayson mess.

Totally agree, accept the Grayson series. Loved the sexy superspy twist on his skills.

It's weird that they're keeping the red New 52 suit but changing his Robin suit back to the pixie boots

I think the cover is more supposed to emblematic of the character's publishing history than current canon.

I like how the differences between two of the costumes is mainly just hwo messy his hair is.

dibs on the "kid" who stole his wallet being another batkid.... or even if it isn't, the facts some random kid stole from dick is enough
