That was completely uncalled for.

I hate that costume so much.
(You)
That crotch arrow makes me laugh every time.
Also, old mattress or no, that man now has a broken back.
>nobody has gotten rid of the crotch
>it was red and now it's yellow
just change the robin outfit jesus
Raptor has been reading too much Marvel.
Maybe Dick's just being friendly, and trying to tell people his name?
>Blatant Dickbabs
I hate this sooo much. Dickfire is the superior ship and everyone here knows it.
Daily reminder Jason has best New 52 Robin outfit
His is also a mess
Damian's old outfit and Tim's Red Robin outfit are the best robin outfits
Lord Deathman henchmen?
Lord Deathman henchmen!
out of all the rebirth nostalgia ships, dickbabs has been the least obnoxious, as they actually talk to each other like normal people.
I like how Kobra showed up in Gordan Bats and that story got referenced in Detective Comics and they show up again in Batman and then get referenced here too.
>His is also a mess
Nope, his is the only one that doesn't make me cringe. It also retains the full yellow cape which I like.
>Fight,then Team Up.
ok that was cute.
I thought she was in Okinawa not Tokyo.
Also if The World Ends With You is correct that location should have a lot more people.
It's still too busy. Shoulder pads are always awkward, and the little "V"s don't add anything. Robin outfits should be simple, especially when they're only used for flashbacks.
I'll wait for Middy to fuck shit from this raptor thing.
I don't get why they made Dick and Jason's Robin outfits so busy
Robin already have a loud colorful design so adding a bunch of unnecessary shit just makes it worse
Dick has like 5 colors now and it's just so awful
>people liked grayson right?
>What if we do it again but with two books instead of one!
>With Jason and Dick's books we'll make double the money!
...
>outfits so busy
They've sort of done it with all of them for some reason, except Tim where they just changed the colour scheme until his name no longer makes sense. I think the worst offender is Damian's new one though, it doesn't work for me at all.
...
This is by one of the Grayson writers and is pretty much just a continuation of it
What ?
It really lacks what made Grayson great though.
well of course king is gonna go off to batman though
Jason is now going deep undercover to take some other group down
Can anyone post the new buy/release date guide
Not really, it has the Charm of it, and the bat characters are here but this is because otherwise people would bitch
I think what made Grayson great was how different it was to past Dick stories, the writing here is just as good, but once again its bound hand and foot to the Batfamily complete with Robin flashbacks, Batgirl and an impending crossover. So what we have now is just a fairly well written Nightwing comic.
B-but it's different because Dark Trinity
Raptor is pretty fun, though I guess he won't last past the first arc. Maybe he'll get 2 arcs if he's lucky.
we know he's lasting past the crossover so far
Look at all that continuity.
Looks like Nightwing is living up to its name of being less than good. There's some potential with Raptor but my eyes glaze over every time they go into Dick's terrible infatuation with Barbara and his complex with Bruce. Hope all the baggage gets dropped in the arc after Monster Men or Dick really will only be good when his solo isn't called Nightwing.
...
Something you won't see in a Bendis comic
It doesn't though. It still has the personality, the globetrotting stuff, and the "weirdness"
He'll lost longer than the Parliament of Owls
Well, this isn't going to make Jasonfags any less salty
Isn't the infiltration just a plot device so he can meet Artemis and Bizaro, then the plot changes? You can't write a covert spy book with Bizarro as 1/3 the cast.
>Bizzaro speak makes for perfect undercover speak
"Red Hood be not spy!"
"Why is he saying that, Red Hood?"
"Oh, Bizarro always tells the truth... yeah, that's it. So you should take everything he says as the truth."
Even so, outside of the Batfamily, it has more in common with Grayson than previous Nightwing books. He's not stuck in a city, or making friends with civilians, or dating the girl next door or anything like that.
If Bizzaro was trying to be a spy and deceive someone would he say he is a spy or is not a spy?
I'm Jason fan and I don't understand why I would be salty?
Yeah, I don't think Jason will be undercover for more than one arc.
He would say that he is a spy, because he means that he's not a spy. Which means his ability to not blow his cover depends on whether or not people understand Bizarro-speak
You know Jason trying to maintain cover while dealing with this, as well as an axe wielding Amazon sounds hilarious in most writers hands.
>Lobdell
>criminals using guns in Japan
0/10, dropped due to lack of realism.
But it's okay! He can write a decent Batdad moment with li'l Jason!
>NIGHTWING #7
>AUG160207
>(W) Seeley (A/CA) Javi Fernandez (CA) Ivan Reis, Joe Prado
>“RISE OF RAPTOR” part one! The Parliament of Owls wasn’t brought to justice like Raptor promised Nightwing-it was eliminated! Raptor’s methods have crossed the line and Nightwing goes to apprehend him. Upon his arrival he discovers Raptor’s true intentions and obsessions…
Stop pushing Barbara, Seeley REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>Raptor wants to fuck Dick...
>in-universe acknowledging the fight and team up thing
gets me every time
>it's yet another Babs issue
fuck off
>one of Dick's hot older mentors actually wants to fuck him
Seeley is a madman
So Raptor is a crazy stalker who wants Dick senpai to notice him?
LORD DEATHMAAAAAN :D
I miss the circus costume
Why didn't they use Rebirth to make his Robin costume not terrible?
Both are equally garbage.
we all do
DickHelena is superior
Oh Seeley you cannot get over your love for the Mighty Lord Death Man neither can I.
If only Seeley was good at writing Lord Death Man
He did he great job with his Talon guest issues
Not really
So who has used him well?
No Tim's late 00's outfit and Damian's Batman Reborn are arguably best Robin designs.
It pains me that this isn't Tim's red Robin costume for rebirth. Throwing him into his updated 90s uniform makes no sense at all with his current name.
Tl;dr
Now that the 2009 kingdom come circle jerk is over, put Drake back into an updated pic related
Jiro Kuwata and Grant Morrison. I didn't mind the Talon issues myself either but was more disappointed with Seeley using him in Batman Eternal.
Seeley works better when he's doing a series, instead of just filling in on a weekly
jiro kuwata and allred, though it might not have been allred writing the '66 issues featuring him)
>I'm enjoying Lobdell's Red Hood more than I'm enjoying my favorite DC Character
Dick's Nightwing solos are doomed to mediocrity
Thanks Chuck Dixon. I guess. Or you Dick getting raped when written by a woman with his same last name or Dick being called a slut after having sex with a shapeshifter he thought was Kori.
Nightwing stories are Watchmen-tier compared to Red Hood stories
Oh yeah user, I sure love that story where Jason pretends to be Nightwing and murders a few guys, then turns into a blob tentacle monster. Really gets you thinking.
Agree with both of these. At least with Seeley you get above average writing, but Dick seems much less self-assured than he did in Grayson, and all the Bruce and Barbara stuff seems repetitive. Still enjoyable, but seems like a downgrade.
Bland mediocrity isn't that much better than shit.
Anyway Dick has plenty of shit stories too, like Wolfman, Grayson, and Jones' runs as well as Daniel's Batman run.
True, but a Knight in Bludhaven is gold compared to the Red Hood Lost Days mini. The Tomasi run blows the Pfeifer stuff out. Hell, even the Grayson run beats out the Lobdell dreck.
It's strange how Red Hood didn't suck this week while Nightwing is stuck in the usual rutt. It's like I'm on bizarro world or something
Yeah it's really disappointing. I just don't understand why they felt the need to go backwards. OH well we'll just have to wait until the next storyline where he changes identities again.
The Lost Days was literally filler and done in a bullshit explanation way because Judd Winick is a one trick pony.
>all these salty af Dickfire fags.
the dixon stuff was, at worst, entertaining and fun. most red hood stories have been either mediocre (lost days, arkham knight genesis) or cringe-worthy (red hood and the outlaws). the red hood rebirth issue was surprisingly readable, though nothing special
Most of Dixon's stuff was just kind of boring and generic. The only Nightwing arc of his that I really liked was Year One.
>at worst
>entertaining and fun
Holy shit the delusion is real. Dixon was more than happy to write the most bland stories and shove his expy characters of real people in because he couldn't write for shit without some pop culture reference to date how terrible his writing is.
>dixon stuff
>entertaining and fun
the best stuff was the batfamily stuff and without it, it was easily the worst of dixon's titles he had going back in the day.
very brand and uninspired
*bland
...
you sound triggered
Bought rebirth and the first issue. Like Green Arrow, it's been kinda disappointing. Then again, I never really cared about Dick as Nightwing anyways.
