Oh? Dick's heart stopped and he had to be given adrenaline to restart it?
Nightwing (Vol. 4) #124
Sounds awfully familiar š...
Forever Evil #7
no but imagine being the Palmetto State track team coach and learning about this kid who can run a mile in four minutes and so you go and check it out but surprise surprise the exy coach from the shit exy team has him already so you try to negotiate for the player because he might be the fastest kid youāve ever seen but the exy coach keeps saying no and no and so you watch this kid that can RUN THE MILE IN FOUR MINUTES become the fastest exy player in history and youāre sobbing falling to your knees because you couldāve had him in the track team winning you gold medals in the olympics but instead you just stare from your campus office as this redhead short exy obsessed kid runs laps around the entire uni campus for hours on end without getting tired and just wishes all hell on exy
Dick and Clark using each other's bodies to either cause harm or to save themselves.
Teen Titans #36
Grayson Annual #2
I love thinking that Dick has merch for every hero he can find. Most of his t-shirts and hoodies are superhero merch.
As a civilian, people know perfectly well that Dick Grayson is a fan of superheroes, he doesn't care in the least about this, obviously, he's not the only one.
As you might expect, he doesn't actually have much of his own merch, it's not like he's his own fan. He just has bracelets or necklaces that he wears most of the time, simply because it would be too strange if, being a fan of heroes, he was not a fan of his own city's hero. So, when he appears in interviews and is asked about Nightwing merch, he shows off a bracelet or a pendant, even an anklet. Something more discreet, but something he can wear every day.
Like Nightwing, all the heroes know he likes to wear merch. He's been spotted wearing other heroes' hoodies and jackets over his costume several times.
If Nightwing appears in public wearing another hero's merch, it will boost that hero's ego for the rest of the week. He mainly wears Titans, Superman, or his family merch (not all the time tho, they get unbearable sometimes).
What Nightwing doesn't know... Is that there isn't a single hero who doesn't have Nightwing merch, even with how difficult it is to get shipments outside of Blüdhaven.
He only knows that his friends have his merch, and he always jokes about it, since he still thinks it's just to playfully annoy him... He can't believe how fanatical they are about him.
If I only knew...
Bruce has always masked his worry as anger, especially back in the 90s/early 2000s. I saw that moment as both him giving Dick some tough love but also him being extremely concerned about Dick and didnāt know how to express or even process it really. I suppose itās easier to be pissed then to think āOh shit, Iāve watched my son go through a depressive spiral for months and I havenāt done anything and now he almost got himself killedā
If only Bruce knew how to healthily process emotions š
Dick Grayson really gets the OC treatment in Nightwing (1996) and what I mean by the OC treatment is: āJust how much trauma can I put this character throughā
Letās go through the list
- First he decides to become a cop to take down the corruption of the police force; he basically swears off of sleep. Heās fighting crime during the day, heās fighting crime at night. There is no time for this man to sleep.
- He actually ends up loving this job and even though he planned on quitting once the BPD got fixed, he stays. Just when heās happy BAM! He gets fired after his boss and former partner learns about his identity
- Barbara breaks up with him
- Blockbuster learns his secret identity and decides to make his life a living hell
- He burns down Halyās circus
- He blows up Dickās apartment building, killing a good chunk of the supporting cast
- Heās pretty much homeless after this and sleeps on a fire escape using newspapers as a blanket and pillow
- Blockbuster threatens to kill everyone he knows. Literally. He says that if Dick so much as shakes someoneās hand, heāll kill them
- Heās so severely fucked up about this he lets Tarantula kill Blockbuster
- She then SAs him (and itās literally NEVER addressed??)
- Dick canāt handle the guilt and pretty much becomes passively suicidal.
- He has so much trauma and PTSD from this entire thing that Tim, Alfred and Barbara all mention something about him losing his spark
- He turns himself in but his former boss/partner gets himself out by saying heās undercover
- Then he joins the mob???
- He pretty much pushes everyone away
- Then Death Stroke drops a chemo bomb on Blüdhaven
- Despite knowing that itāll kill him, Nightwing continues to go into the wreckage to save as many ppl as he can.
- He passes out and is saved by Batman who takes him back to the Cave. He then gives him some tough love and talks to him about his suicidal tendencies
And thatās all I got because I havenāt finished the run yet but JESUS they put this poor guy through the wringer.
In the DC universe there's a petition with over five hundred thousand signatures asking Batman to let Robin represent the USA on the male gymnastic team
I just- I know a lot of people don't like the Young Justice series because of how it destroys the canon timeline of the comics- BUT-
You guys don't know how much I love this duo, it's like, I don't know, they're brother and sister, they're siblings in everything but blood and I just love them so so much.
I recently saw a comment saying that Dick was the little brother who had the audacity to grow taller, and I loved it.
I think what I loved is that Dick really has the little brother energy like Robin in this show, and although I love Dick as an older brother, seeing him as the little brother of the group was amazing.
I think this is where my taste for reverse robin fics came from, I ended up enchanted with Dick as the little brother- lol
I miss them, so i'm going to watch the whole show again. š¤
Screen rant and CBR have m the worst articles ever. Theyāll say something like DC just confirmed Nightwing is actually a terrible leader and then their reasoning is something stupid like āHe asked a team member to stay behind because she was emotionally compromised, meaning he doesnāt trust his teammates!ā or Tim Drake was the weakest Robin and this comic confirms it! And the evidence is just Tim getting the flu or something.
Dick 9 times out of 10 failing to hide a severe injury from the rest of the batfam because without fail when heās tired or drugged or generally not firing on all cylinders his native accent comes out as thick as the day he met Bruce.

Bruce: Dick come down for a check up I saw you take that hit for Tim.
Dick, halfway towards the cave exit and still going, in the quietest voice possible: im fine
Bruce: Say squirrel and you can leave.
Dick:
Bruce:
Jason:
Tim:
Damien:
Dick: ā¦skweeerrehl.
Jason: Get him boys.
Today as homework for my playwriting class, I had to map out a scenario for my play (which is like discerning the tactics my characters will use to further their goal) I said fuck that and just did an outline instead. To explain myself I said
āIn an effort to stop myself from going insane, Iām doing an outline yuhhhhhā
I spent 4 hours on it, then I panicked because I didnāt want my professor to be mad at me so I did the scenario as well and turned it in with the words
Pls donāt b mad at me, Iāll cry, thanks
-Quinn
So in conclusion, I did more work than I needed and then begged my professor not to be mad at me. This sums up my college career pretty well I think.
