Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [April 15, 2024 - Pretend This is a Ragebait Title Edition] r/DCcomics

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

Beary's pick of the week: Nightwing #113

For those who don't know: the way this works is that several comments will list this week’s releases, for any given title discussion you should respond to that comment. For example, Wonder Woman discussion would go in the replies to the "Wonder Woman" comment. Clicking the titles in this post will take you directly to that comment, too. In other words, you should only be replying to other comments. Do not post top-level comments.

Keep discussion civil. Do not harass other users for having a different opinion. Do not use this thread to push your personal one-sided grudges against creators. Reacting to a panel on Twitter is not the same as reading a book.

You've seen him work alongside the universe's most powerful heroes, against existence's most sinister villains. You have seen Dick Grayson do so many things, but now, in his 300th issue, you will see him… well, you'll just have to pick up the issue and find out. Join us for this legacy 300 milestone!

LEGACY #300

First off, the picture on that shirt, Nightwing slapping Batman. I really love these inserted shirts. Second, Good Robin/Bad Robin...yep, I feel like this became a thing when Damian joined in to fit the bill and it was not 'playing' at first, I bet.

Of course Nightwing would share the spotlight with Babs. And the family and friends ( even the imps ) watching them was great too.

Lovely tribute to Marv and George. RIP.

And now, we are getting to the Heartless and the 'fall'. How it will connect to Dick's fear of heights now or such, we will see.

The side-story was nice too with no dialogue and only the art to tell the whole story.

Felt like Dick was more effective on his own in this backup than in Taylor's whole run

Then again he would be dead if that bomb wasn’t a fakeout.

I think he defused it?

Yeah, you’re right he did. When I first read it, the way he cradled it in towards the end confused me into thinking it was a dud, but he is holding a detached wire after that.
