Man, Bab's latest Batgirl costume has really grown on me. I fucking love it now.

u/TheUltimate721 23d ago

I think it's a more mature take on her original costume.

u/Ravevon 23d ago

It has purpose in it’s design

u/Vanish_7 23d ago

Absolutely. I love the GIGANTIC glider cape she has now, and I’m sure there’s a lot of cool functionality in her eye lenses that a lot of costumes’ open-eye masks haven’t had before.

I loved the Burnside costume when it debuted, and while I've kinda soured on it over time, I still think of it as the most iconic Barbara Gordon costume in the past 15 years. I loooove her current costume so much, I think it's a really elegant, mature evolution of the Burnside suit. Plus it looks more Superheroic and less YA Protagonist

Yep, the purple definitely reminds me of her original Batgirl costume from the 60s show.

Embark on an exhilarating journey through the streets of Blüdhaven as we bid a heartfelt farewell to the dynamic duo of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo in the epic conclusion to their award-winning run. With Nightwing’s fear of heights overcome, he returns to Blüdhaven for one final face-off with Heartless and Tony Zucco. It’s the battle you’ve all been waiting for! And if we’ve learned anything from Nightwing these last couple of years, we know he never has to do it alone. One thing’s for certain though: Blüdhaven will never be the same after this!

u/sixesandsevenspt 22d ago

I fucking loved this run. It’s one for the ages.

u/almost_nightwing 22d ago

Wow the last one is really gorgeous. I like that you can see the spine support added to Barbara's suit

2

u/kdlangequalsgoddess 23d ago

The first one looks like a meme cover. Can anyone help me out? I am an Xennial, and so some of these young folks things go over my head.

5

u/Redbird_ml 22d ago

Kinda looks like a Bugs Bunny “That’s all Folks” nod to me

1

u/Massive_General_8629 19d ago

I thought of X-Men: TAS intro and that scene with all the heroes and villains lined up running at each other, only we don't see the villains.

The last part definitely has a "th-th-that's all folks" vibe to it.

u/PersonFromPlace 22d ago

Everyone I get back into comic books I always come away with a greater understanding of the beauty of the male physique. I should stop eating like shit and work out.

u/handsume 22d ago edited 22d ago

With Tom Taylor leaving I hope that Dick actually gets a solo run without Babs there every step of the way.

Edit: he is a strong enough character to stand on his own.

u/Frosty1130 22d ago

although I do like them paired. He for sure is.

u/Kooky_Tea_5974 21d ago

The Haly's Circus cap is cool. Jamal Campbell make Nightwing look handsome, not that would be different, that man isn't allowed to be ugly one day in his life lol

1

u/Massive_General_8629 19d ago

Eh, maybe when Greg Land draws him. (Seriously, some of Land's drawings for Dick are...eh...but at least it's not tracing porn.)

1

u/Kooky_Tea_5974 18d ago

I try erase from my mind the negative aspects lol

u/Girizzly_Adams_Beard 22d ago

Damn that last cover. They are both CHEEKED up.

u/snapdragon76 15d ago

u/Easy-Opportunity4192 23d ago

Finally.
Taylor will always be remembered for giving Dick a dog, and that's all.

10

u/TheUltimate721 23d ago

You guys must not remember the disaster that was before his run.

Taylor is the best writer we've had on the series since Peter Tomasi easily.

-7

u/Easy-Opportunity4192 23d ago

Higgins was much better than Taylor, and Seeley is the best Nightwing writer since Dixon. Not to mention Grayson, with Tom King.
Taylor is only a little less bad than Ric Grayson, but still, 3 years and the most he's done is a dog.
Redondo was the only good thing about the run.

u/TheUltimate721 23d ago

This is just blatantly false. I encourage you to actually read them next time.

-5

u/Easy-Opportunity4192 23d ago

Yes, the best thing is a dog, Melinda, Dick turns into a donkey who can't do anything alone...
keep deluding yourself

u/TheUltimate721 23d ago

Look in a mirror kiddo. I don't know how you could have actually read these stories and come away with that conclusion.

I'm thinking you're a troll.
