Azrael #13

[iamrman]

Azrael is training with Nightwing and somebody's head gets turned by the former Boy Wonder.

Sister Lilhy was a nun belonging to the Order of St. Dumas and is probably having doubts about her vows after meeting Dick Grayson. Not that I can blame her...

It's not subtext, IF THE ARTIST DRAWS IT.

A gentleman always obliges.

I know Dick is one of the best looking blokes in the DCverse, even to those who ain't into blokes.
Which makes what comes next so difficult to say.

Dick is emphatically not one of nature's ponytail people.
I'm sorry, but he's not.

[iamrman]

Yeah, I agree. The ponytail look did not suit him.

[thatnickguy]

The best thing Dixon ever did was get rid of the ponytail right at the start of his Nightwing run.

Not only that, it had gone out of style at least a couple of years before he was even given it in the comics, and IIRC it was part of a makeover by Mirage-disguised-as-Kory in a frankly horrible subplot, so was never sure why he kept it.

[scorntx]

Judging by some of Dick's other... hmm, shall we say "sartorial choices" over the years, it looks like this is what happens when Alfred's not around to supervise.

There's probably a small wardrobe's worth of Bruce's clothes which have 'mysteriously' gone missing over the years under Alfred's watch.

[iamrman]

You take that back about the polkadot shirt from his first mini-series!

[scorntx]

But I didn't mention a polkadot shirt...

[iamrman]

You mentioned Dick's 'sartorial choices' and that was one of them.

[icon_uk]

The polkadot shirt is one of the more oft cited examples of Dick's dubious fashion choices....



Though in fairness, they were in style in the 90's. It's just when you try to make a character stylish, you have to face theme being UNstylish faster than when you just have them dress fairly square.

MY EYES!

(... still, not quite as bad as Nuklon's original hairstyle.)

Donna being a fashion photographer should probably have helped.

And yes, I see that Alfred and Bruce's wardrobe conversations often go the way of Jeeves and Wooster.

"But I LIKE the mustard coloured shirt, Alfred"

"Mustard is not that colour unless it comes out of a squeezable tube, Master Bruce"

"It's still mustard"

"Not in this household it isn't, sir"

[mastermahan]

We don't know that Donna was a *good* fashion photographer. She married Terry Long. Her taste is deeply suspect.

[iamrman]

Also, she had a relationship with Roy Harper. So make of that as you will.

It's really jarring to see this bodybuilder Nightwing with the slicked back widow's peak compared to the more lean smooth boy modern portrayal.
