@Scott_M_Beatty —all on his own.
But I do like the addition of the meaning of the name Nightwing from Clark! That aspect of Year One was certainly sweet and iconic now, as is the confirmation that his costume was inspired by his acrobatic heritage rather than disco like everyone jokes!
@Scott_M_Beatty The main issue is having Dick be fired from the role of Robin, rather than leaving on his own and wanting to discover his own identity that way. Tying it in to the Batman universe was also unnecessary in my opinion because it ties him down to it in an era where again, he grew—
@Scott_M_Beatty —Batman's and thinking of his own, rather than focusing on how Bruce felt.
I also think it was better for Dick to leave the Robin role on his own, rather than needing to be fired by Bruce. Just in terms of agency and growth.
@Scott_M_Beatty Oh, hi! It’s an honor to have a former Nightwing writer notice this account!
There are no hard feelings, I simply prefer the NTT origin, where the Titans were more essential. His conflict was about how he felt and what was right for him. Like comparing Vigilante's methods with—
Rest In Peace, George Pérez.
Your art brought hope and smiles to countless people, and we wouldn’t have Nightwing at all if not for you. Truly a legend who will be loved forever.
💙💛💙
@chronicAngelCA Yes, because he constantly quotes dickbabs fans who are happy about seeing this caricature of Babs in the book and tells them to be patient and that it’ll happen while ignoring what disabled Barbara Gordon fans tell him.
Since you so kindly have me blocked on my main, as a Nightwing and Oracle fan, let me show this. If you were as progressive as you claim to be you’d actually acknowledge your mistakes and listen to the fans who don’t excuse “a decade” of ableism from both DC and “freelancers”.
@chronicAngelCA —disabled fans and Oracle stans who are rightfully upset with seeing a supposedly progressive writer contribute to erasure.
And yes, myself and many others would rather not see this abled gross monstrosity in comics if that’s all of Babs we’re stuck dealing with.
@chronicAngelCA —only thing he chooses to acknowledge and quote for all his defenders to see, rather than any less frustrated, yet passionate criticism, from a BIG barbara gordon fan.
This man knows exactly what he’s doing to manipulate the situation and victimize himself from “evil psycho”—
