What’s stopping Dick Grayson from going back to Robin? It’s generally agreed he’s “the” Robin by everyone.

Indeed. After all, he is good for nothing except being a supporting character for someone.

Because there’s no going back after the Disco collar.

Because being a Robin is like being an intern, hero-wise. He's graduated now.

Like an unpaid intern. Except with more danger.

Who do you suggest becoming Nightwing then

I like his run of Nightwing.

None of those characters created their own identities.
Except Parallax but that doesn't count

What drugs was he on when he thought of that?

This didn’t stop Barry from taking the mantle from his former sidekick.

It was the 80s.
Popped collars were in back then.

Isn't Ryan the current Atom? Ray is still fucking around in the Microverse

So were mullets.
These things are gone for a reason.

Supergirl.
Nightwing is a Kryptonian identity and Supergirl needs to separate her self from Clark.

Barry was fucking dead and Wally stayed as Flash.

And he's had both a mullet and a ponytail

>So were mullets
Funny you should mention that.

Because Wally's mantle was Barry's first. If Wally had become Nightflash, there'd have been nothing to take back.

...

Yes, but that's more Ray being too ensnared by micro pussy

Fuck this gay Earth.

The 90s are over. It’s ok. They can’t hurt you.

Jesus, his arms look like the chest of a 70s male porn star.

Since most people are familiar with TTG, which has Dick as Robin, it’s probably for the best he hangs up the Nightwing getup.

Oddly enough his chest is still hairless in that mini

New Order had some interesting design choices for the chracters

I’d support this if we went to an actual five-year-since-heroes-debuted new Earth, with Dick as Robin, Babs as Batgirl, Wally as Kid Flash, and the New Titans just starting and Super/Batgirl only a couple years older than Dick. The Justice League is just the big seven (Martian Manhunter) and maybe Green Arrow. Just the A-list and high B-list, no JL International, Young Justice, Damian Titans, etc.

Just to see how it would all be like.

They never even call him Dick in that

Nah MM was barely even on the JL five years in real time after they debuted. Him being the monitor guy works well.

By that time Arrow, Hawkman, and Atom would be part of the team.

It’s pretty obvious it’s supposed to be Dick.

Yes, we know that, but casuals who just watched the cartoon don't, if they even are aware that there's more than one Robin. And even in that very series in that one episode in the future, he becomes Nightwing.

And in the also extremely popular Batman TAS Dick becomes Nightwing and is replaced by Tim.

Dick Grayson bought the franchise rightsfor Nightwing from Superman.

Dick was such shit in that show anyway

You sicken me

He got cucked.

I think it was because people liked Tim so much.

The whole reason why Dick is Nightwing is because they didn't want to take him off the New Teen Titans book.

Powers that be wanted Batman to have a Robin but Dick was the team leader of DC most popular title. Having him go back to being Batman's second was seen as a step back.

They reached a compromise that Dick would stay on as the leader of the Teen Titans and that there would be a new Robin to act as Batman's side kick. This is why Dick chose the name Nightwing, to honor both him role-models, and why we got Jason.
