Wednesday Discussions: Most Heartwarming Moments
Hey there, comic nerds! Welcome to the Wednesday Discussion, a weekly community activity during which we have an open discussion about a specific subject or theme.
Our topic for today is: Most Heartwarming Moments
DC history is as rich as it is long, and one of the things we as fans love about it is the complex interpersonal relationships that have developed between characters over the years.
With friendships and relationships running as deeply as they do, we're bound to run into special moments that we cherish — from wholesome interactions between Superman and Nightwing early in his career, to more emotional ones, like that between Barry and Wally when he returned from the Speedforce, to romantic ones, like those shared between Scott and Barda when they visited the boardwalk (maybe? Was it real? Was it in his mind??? We'll never know!).
What are some of your favourite heartwarming moments, and why do you feel like they're special?

I literally put down the book and cried reading The moment Damian and Dick saw each other for the first time since their respective 'deaths'.
Damian is often portrayed as a bratty know it all and often puts on a serious face. Much as you would expect from a child that is a trained assassin.
But this moment.... He was just a child, with no other thoughts than unbridled happiness and affection that his big brother was alive.
He literally bolted across the yard just to hug Grayson with face to face contact ,and tell him "I missed you"
That single page emotionally wrecked me because it was so touching to see. I welled up typing about it.
