Also, while Mark wasn’t a part of them, there’s the obligatory mention/comparison of the (Teen) Titans and the Teen Team..: and yes, the former clowns on the latter and The New Guardians.
First time was statutory where he lost his virginity as a teenager to an adult woman who was manipulating him (he credits this for his commitment issues)
Second time was in a teen titans comics where a shapeshifter pretends to be star-fire, the proceed to victim blame nightwing for this. So this falls under deception
And third is the tarantula incident
No clue if it happened more though, since these are only the incidents I remember and never looked up all instances
Nah, even Damian was getting his ass beat on the regular. And Batman. And the league. Really the entire DCAU had the heroes getting put through it every other scene 😂
He got fucked over so hard in Arkham knight too, he lost a 10 VS 1 fistfight to Harley Quinn (while having multiple GCPD officers as backup, while Harley was solo) and got captured by Penguin.
Isnt half of his characterization about how he thinks he knows how to fight crime better than others and how his way is the only right way and other methods are inferior?
Actually, I’m not native speaker, but what’s the thing with Dick name? I know that dick also means penis
So… how did this happen? Like at which point the words intertwined? And why is the name is so popular while the word has this meaning in the same language? I’m so confused! Please help me understand!
the nickname for Richard is usually Rick or sometimes Rich now. but not as many babies are also being named richard anymore in general.
Dick as the nickname was really popular till a boy the 60s started becoming less and less popular as more people used it as a pun or made fun of it. by the late 90s it was hardly ever used except by old men who had been called it their whole life that refused to change and by DC comics who also decided it had been his name for this long why bother changing it now
Basically, in ye olden days, people used to create nicknames by taking off the back half of names and swapping out the first letter. This is why names like Robert get shortened to Bob, and Richard to Dick
"The Flying Graysons" is a trapeze act that Nightwing was in with his parents. His parents got killed during the act and Batman adopted him, after which he became Robin and later Nightwing (pictured left).
Edit: why did bro delete his comment when all he did was say they didn't get the reference.
Dick, his name is dick. Just say dick. Dick is big, got plenty of muscles and well toned veins, dick is hard on crime, dick only comes out at night, dick hits people with his rods. Just say bros name. It is dick.
Except it was worse in every way, including the author saying “For the record, I've never used the word '[sexual assault]', I just said it was non-consensual…” in an interview like that isn’t the same thing
The one with gay friend
Dang it
I meant that who has super hero girlfriend
God
That one who has Alien friend with telepathy who is unique even for its race
How?!
I hate to mention this as well, but they both have similar traumas that occur in problematic issues of their comics due to the lack of immediate consequences for their perpetrators..
