The three people who still had hope it would be Starfire have every right to laugh at the ones who didn’t believe it, and that includes me,haha. 😂

Lovers. By lukewarmcomic on tumblr.

How would you work on undoing the Himbo Dick characterization that is present in the recent canon material that DC has put out through the last 5-10 years (arguably even before then)?

Some people believe Watters’ run on Nightwing is too dark or not in-character for him. What are y’all’s thoughts on this take?

How would you undo the misconceptions that Dick/Kory were just a fling/sexual or that they were just the relationship that Dick learned and grew from before he got with Barbara (I don’t believe this, but other people do)?

Some Barbara fans believe the reason why she’s so criticized as a character is because she’s a female character and not a male character (like Bruce). What I find interesting about this take is that Bruce and Barbara share some of the same flaws. They both can be stubborn, manipulative, possessive, arrogant, and over-bearing. I’ve always found this take weak because if anything people are increasingly critical of Bruce.

If Dick and Barbara do break up, how often (or none at all) would you want her to be mentioned/make an appearance in his life/book afterward? I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibilities that they could break up.

With Dick and Kory’s personalities/characterizations how do you think their strengths and flaws would come out (in their current dynamic) if they were to get back together? How would you address Dick’s former actions with his other exes and Kory? Would you retcon those out or?

If you magically had the ability to get Dick out of the bat-editorial completely, would you?

With all of the DickKory hints/crumbs that DC has been putting out, do you believe that (if not in the main comics) there are elseworlds/games/movies being planned with them?

When Kory is no longer appearing in New Titans/Nightwing do you think she’ll be given a mini/maxi/on-going series that will correspond with her upcoming animated series?

Hey folks, we got another AMA on the docket! Dan Watters, who is writing the excellent Nightwing, will be back on this Friday, May 22 at 12 pm ET to answer all your questions about Nightwing, Batman, and whatever else is on your mind!

(This is not the AMA thread, it'll go up on the day of).

I was disappointed, tbh. I thought they were going to talk about the kiss. During the writer's AMA, he told us to wait and see how things would go, as if they were going to talk more about it, but nothing happened. (It feels like the writer was told to rewrite it at the last minute?) But oh well, at least I got Dickkory butt crumbs and it could have been worse. I'll just think this is better than a panel of them saying they don't love each other or any disrespectful things about their relationship to prop up Dickbabs.

In questi due momenti con un clima cupo e tetro, Nightwing "depresso" e stanco c'è Starfire regala quel tocco di colore e vivacità.

È proprio il classico contrasto da sit-com.

Per questo amo la loro chimica

Mi sono scappate delle risate in questi due momenti.

Quello sguardo di Nightwing: "Te ne sei accorta, vero?"

Nightwing non la guarda con rabbia o delusione, ma è "tranquillo" paziente una ironia di rassegnazione. È lo sguardo tipico di chi sta visualizzando un possibile disastro imminente (un intero bosco che va a fuoco ai margini della città) e si gira verso starfire per vedere se è arrivato alla sua stessa, ovvia conclusione.

Dick le elenca la lista dei disastri imminenti. Quel suo "Sì" secco nella seconda vignetta, unito alla sua faccia impassibile, fa capire che per lei è semplicemente logica: ha fatto un errore, lo ha ammesso, e ora si passa oltre. Senza drammi!

È proprio questo contrasto che fa morire dal ridere: Nightwing che la guarda disperato (ma ironico) e lei che rimane lì, impassibile e fiera, come se avesse "finito il lavoro".

Anche all'interno dell'astronave.

Appena arrivano vedono un video di 30 secondi che funziona a loop.

Subito dopo Starfire, non ci pensa un secondo di più, e distrugge il computer senza chiedere un consiglio a Nightwing che cerca di fermarla.

(Dopo Starfire spiegherà la motivazione)

Scusate forse sono una pessima persona 🤭😅🤣

Honestly, considering how heavily pro-DickBabs the Nightwing subreddit usually is, that’s actually pretty interesting. It really does show that the idea that "only cartoon fans like DickKory" or that Kory has no support in comic spaces just doesn’t hold up anymore.

Especially because subreddit polls usually attract active comic readers, not just casual fans.
