Fanon Myths about Nightwing that I learned weren't true as I read Nightwing: A Knight in Blüdhaven (which covers the first 25 issues of Nightwing Vol 2, plus a few extra series such as Nightwing and Huntress or Nightwing and Green Arrow).
Myth: Dick's lived in Blüdhaven his entire time as Nightwing. Truth: Dick only moved to Blüdhaven about a year after Tim became Robin, investigating murders on behalf of Bruce. Before moving to Blüdhaven, Dick lived permanently with the Teen Titans.
Myth: Dick chose not to use Bruce's money. Truth: Dick never even knew about his trust fund. In true Bruce fashion, he never told Dick about the fund assuming he always knew.
Myth: Blüdhaven is Gotham Lite. Truth: Bludhaven is a corrupt city much like Gotham, but the corruptness is different. Gothamās crime is criminal based, where every crime is a robbery or a murder or any other visible crime. On the other hand Blüdhavenās crime is more corruption based, where every officer is in the pocket of someone important.
Myth: Dick is either Angry or absurdly happy and there is no in between. Truth: Dick is a very easy going guy, but does not open up about anything. He reminds me a lot of Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man actually.
Myth: Dick is a cop, that is his only job and the only thing he ever does with his social life. Truth: Dick becomes a Cop much much later, and after many many career shifts. He is chronically unemployed, and picks up every weird job he got his hands on that supported his life as Nightwing. In the book (which covers the roughly first ten months in Blüdhaven) he never once becomes a cop, instead juggling a job as a bartender in a cop bar.
Myth: Dick is a public guy with a playboy Dickie Grayson persona. Truth: Dick is a pretty private person and barely dates. In the entire book, he goes on one (1) date with a girl, and only because he kept giving excuses for being Nightwing and felt bad. No one knows if Dick Grayson and he definitely has no public presence.
There is a lot I didn't know about Dick in this book, and I highly suggest you all read it to really get his character.
And other comic birthdays & dates in general. Iām just going to clear up something about comic book continuity & dates and how they work.
Iām noticing a lotĀ of confusion about Dickās birthday right now. Iām not talking about the March 20th versus March 21st debate. [Itās the 20th, sorry.] Iām talking about this confusion where Dick seems to have 3-4 birthdays. Comics are confusing as hell, so this is definitely understandable. Iām hopefully just making this easier for other people.
[Hereās a DC calendar.]
According to that calendar, Dick has three birthdays.
November 11: Pre-Crisis
October 24: Post-Crisis
March 20: Post-Zero Hour (Also called Pre-Flashpoint, Pre-52 and New Earth)
And of course, letās toss in Dickās Earth-16 (Young Justice) birthday of December 1.
So Dick has four birthdays. Are we supposed to celebrate his birthday four times a year? Well, I definitely wonāt stop you (in fact, it sounds fun), but thatās not quite how comic birthdays work.
Hereās a simplified version of the years for DC continuities:
Pre-Crisis: Comics published before 1985
Post-Crisis: Comics published after 1985
Post-Zero Hour (also called Pre-Flashpoint, Pre-52, or New Earth): Comics published after 1994
New 52: Comics published after the 2011 reboot
Dickās birthday was November 11th in pre-crisisĀ continuity. That means itās valid for comics published prior to the year 1985. If weāre talking about golden and silver age Dick Grayson, youād be correct in celebrating his birthday on November 11th. In fact, if you have a deep, visceral love for that era, it sounds like a great idea and I might start doing that.
But November 11 is not the birthday of modern Dick Grayson. When we have multiple dates like these, they are restricted to their respective continuities. Thatās just how comics work. New Earth (Pre-52) Dick does not have his birthday on November 11th. If youāre talking about the Dixon Nightwing run or BatDick, youāre dealing with New Earth Dick Grayson, meaning his birthday is on March 20th. The November 11th birthday is irrelevant here.
This is how it works for other dates too. In that calendar, you might notice thereās three dates for the deaths of the Flying Graysons.
July 15: Pre-Crisis
October 31: Post-Crisis
June 27: Post-Zero Hour (consequently, the day after the anniversary of Bruceās parentās deaths. Must be a great week for those two.)
June 27th is the most recent date. In fact, I have the panel here:
(Nightwing Vol 1 #1)
This is the modern version of Dickās parentsā deaths.
If youāre discussing New Earth Dick Grayson, then his birthday is on March 20 and his parents died on June 27.
If youāre discussing Pre-Crisis Dick Grayson (before the year 1985), then his birthday is on November 11 and his parents died on July 15.
It kind of drives me crazy when people mix these up
Since the New 52 has not re-established a majority of these dates, itās common convention to stick with the last continuityās dates until the newest continuityĀ āretconsā them or confirms theyāre the same.
Hopefully that all made sense and I didnāt just make this even more confusing. When it comes to Dickās Earth-16 birthday of Dec 1st, thatās limited to Young JusticeĀ Dick Grayson. When weāre talking about modern comic book adaptions, itās the Pre-52 dates we care about.
I know very little about this "Colin Wilkes" character. Please inform me of this person who is hanging out with my beautiful baby bird.
SOOOOO this is the most exciting ask I have ever received. My sweet, precious anonā¦Ā LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT COLIN WILKES! I am protective of the baby bird as well, but Colin is 1000% approved company :)
Basically, he was Damianās first friend that he ever made outside of the Bat family, which I think is REALLY important. He mainly only appeared in the Dick-Bats book Streets Of Gotham, and the extremely adorable Lilā Gotham, but sadly now he doesnāt exist or something because DC CONTINUITY LOL. This gives a nice summary of his origin, but essentially Colin Wilkes was an abused orphan the same age as Damian who was kidnapped by the Scarecrow and given Solomon Grundy-esque powers and used as a weapon against Batman. Batman ultimately saves him (but doesnāt adopt him ??? wtf) and Colin, who idolizes superheroes, goes back to the orphanage, where he decides he should use his new powers to fight for those who canāt.Ā
(Thereās also a fairly solid theory that Colin may be the son of Tommy Elliot, aka Hush, but who cares)Enter: DAMIAN āBABY TEETHā WAYNE-!!Ā

hey everyone! Iām just reaching out because I had it pointed out to me by people in a more appropriate way that becuaee of the connection to Joanne and her horrible things any reference to Harry Potter specifically makes them feel isolated from the event because references to even just the names of things from that content is fully associated with the horrible things sheās done and said. Because of this Iām removing the reference to Hogwarts and changing the prompt to āmagic AUā. Obviously if you were writing something for the prompt that was a Harry Potter crossover you can do that. You can enjoy whatever you want but we want to make the event itself less uncomfortable/triggering because of the association between the writer and her work.
obviously I stand by my statements that the way that the person who commented about not having it in the prompt submission handled it inappropriately but if you feel like you want to voice an question/opinion on the moderation side to the mods you can do that via asks or in the discord. The prompt post here has been edified and updated but the reblogged ones might not be updated. Here is the new prompt sheet:
š + šŗ + š„ŗ for dick & jason & if you do kyle rayner but if not then for hal!
Jason, Kyle, and Hal under the cut.
Dick
š orgasm headcanon
Dick has such a praise kink that if you catch him in the right frame of mind, you can make him cum with minimal stimulation. So long as your rubbing his cock, even through the thick fabric of his suit, as you whisper admirations in his ear. āYouāre so beautiful baby, fuck, nobody does it like you do.ā Heāll be whimpering and making a mess of himself, just for you in moments.
šŗ how they eat the pussy
Dick is a fucking terror when it comes to eating pussy. Itās his bread and butter, his first point of call in any sexual experience. He loves it. Heās good at it, and he knows it. Ā
He doesnāt let on to any of that of course, not the first time. āYou ever had this sweet pussy eaten before?ā Is all heād asked as he popped the button on your jeans, hiking them down along with your panties and started pressing deep, open-mouthed kisses to your freshly exposed skin.
āNot well.ā Youād lamented, tickled by the hot breath of his laughter at your response. āGood luck.ā
In minutes he had you reeling, fists clenched in his dark locks, your toes curled, breath hitching. Dick doesnāt need luck.
He gets so pussy drunk too, itās a problem. As stated, youāre seeing stars before you even know whatās what but Dickās not going to settle for just one, two, not even tree orgasms. Heās going until his jaw falls off or you put your foot down, and itās hard to put your foot down once heās found that sweet spot deep in your cunt that makes your legs kick uncontrollably into the air.
š„ŗ first time headcanon
As mentioned above, Dick loves oral. The morish feel of your core pushed against his tongue, your thighs wrapped around his face, the tangy bittersweet taste of your juices, all of it was ingrained in his mind from repetition long before he ever felt the bliss of feeling your velvety walls swallowing his cock. It wasnāt for a lack of trying either. Youād begged him night after night, praying each time that this would be the fateful night he finally let you have it, but Dick held out, prolonging both your thirsts until he was well and truly certain that he'd driven you to the edge.
Jason
š orgasm headcanon
For the longest time, Jason tenses up at even the smallest feelings of pleasure. Itās a little jarring, when heās begging you to touch him, telling you thereās nothing more in the world that he wants than to make love to you, that this is the best heās felt in years, but his body feels like itās trying to repel you. All those hard muscles pulled taut, his hands fisted into the sheets like heās trying not to punch something, but itās so hard to say no to him when heās pleading for more.
Eventually, with time and comfort, he starts to relax. Itās still like fucking a brick wall, but a brick wall with a blanket draped over it. And itās gratifying, knowing that you did that, that he softened up for you, because he wanted to. Because he feels like heās able to.
šŗ how they eat the pussy
When it comes to eating pussy, Jayās like a dog sniffing for food. Any time your legs are open heās on his knees, nudging at your thighs with his nose, kissing the seam of your underwear, and silently begging for permission with those godforsaken eyes.
He likes to take his time. No matter how many times his tongue has explored your pussy, he eats like itās the first time, every time. Slowly probing your tight little hole, stroking your clit every which way, testing which techniques mess with your restraint the most. Ā
š„ŗ first time headcanon
The first time you and Jay slept together, the first time he ever got laid, he came within a matter of minutes. It was- he just- you were- ugh, yāknow?
You were underneath him, smiling, watching him through those sexy, half-lidded eyes, making noises heād only imagined. And you felt so fucking good, your skin so soft to the touch, your core all hot and tight. He felt it happening. Tried to stop it. Pulling out as quickly as possible but it was too late and he came with a panicked cry and a series of swear words, pumping cum all over your stomach.
It took a lot of comforting, a lot of persistence to get him to stop beating himself up over it. You had to remind him that you werenāt going anywhere, anytime soon, so the two of you would have plenty of opportunity to do things differently, but eventually he caved.
Coincidentally, the first time you did it was also the same night he gave oral for the first time, and boy did he give.
Kyle
š orgasm headcanon + š„ŗ first time headcanon
Iām tying these two together because they link. Stay with me here.
The first time you and Kyle had sex, he told you that he loved you. It wasn't even in the throws of passion, although he was definitely thinking it, every time you called his name. You gripped him tightly, grasp constricting every time he hammered into you, hitting the sweet spot he was so proud of finding over and over. You were howling his names with every thrust; āKyle! Kyle,Kyle,Kyle!ā and he thought āI love you! IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou!ā in response to each one, but he managed to hold it back.
At least until the two of you collapsed onto the bed, sweating, panting, still holding onto each other as you rode your highs back down to earth.
āKyle?ā Youād questioned, watching how he stared blankly at the ceiling, lips curled into a boyish grin.
āI love you.ā He replied immediately, clasping his hands over his mouth as soon as he realised what he'd said.
The tradition continues throughout your relationship, once you said it back to him, once youād talked things out. Now, whenever he hits his climax, he whispers āIloveyouIloveyouIloveyou.ā Over and over until his balls are empty and his body lays limp beside you.
šŗ how they eat the pussy
Kyle is more hands than mouth. Itās not that he doesnāt enjoy the taste of your sweet cunt, or the feel of its soft, plump walls swallowing up his tongue, itās just that he gets distracted. The artist in him is so enamoured with the curves and plains of your body, the way your skin ripples as you ride out waves of euphoria. Fucking fascinating. He gets so lost enjoying the show that he forgets to use his mouth a lot of the time, instead fucking you on his paint-stained fingers over and over until you start whining, pleading for him to dig his tongue in deep so you can cum on his face.
Hal
š orgasm headcanon
Hal is a creampie guy, and an ass man. You donāt even have to let him fuck your ass, but when heās on the brink of shooting his load, heāll beg you to stop what youāre doing, to roll over and let him spread your cheeks so he can push the crown of his cock just past the rim. Heāll be so good, please baby, please let him fill you up. Just the brim, so he can watch his cum spill back out. Itās so fucking hot to him, seeing it flood between your crack, dripping onto the bedsheets before he scoops it up and pushes it back in.
šŗ how they eat the pussy
Sit on this man's face. No really, sit. Donāt hover. Sit and ride him. Heāll thank you for it. Once he can muster a word that isnāt muffled by your pussy pressed against his lips. Heāll thank you for pulling his hair and grinding on him till his skin permanently has your scent ingrained into it. Heāll thank you for the view; a front-row seat to your body as it bends and rolls. Heāll thank you for the unrestricted access to squeeze and slap and massage your ass while you work his tongue into every crevice of your sweet, sweet cunt. Ā Ā
š„ŗ first time headcanon
The first time Hal sleeps with anyone for the first time, he gets a little timid around the subject of his dick size. Heās not shy in any other part of the courting process. Heās pretty slick when heās putting the moves on you. That time you saw him in nothing but a towel? No skin off his nose, heās got a good body. Asking you what you want out of a relationship? What gets you going in the sack? Talking dirty to you on the ride him? All of it, easy as pie.
Stripping off and exploring each otherās body with unlimited access for the first time? Bliss. But the second your fingers slip beneath the waistband of his boxers, quickly closing in on his painfully hard cock, he freezes up. Holding his breath, watching and waiting for your reaction. He shivers as you drag your thumb along his length, unaware of his tempered nerves.
But then you wrap your hands around it, gently jerking him as you start to pull his underwear further down, looking up at him with a feverish grin. You say; āHal I canāt wait any longer, fuck me now.ā And all the tension dissolves from him.
The idea of found family is incredibly attractive to me. I always search for that particular troupe in any form of fiction that I read or watch. And I absolutely have to see it in every fandom I have ever indulged in.
That is exactly why I love the relationship between Nightwing and Superman. And I adore the idea that Bruce's brood of adopted children have a relationship with Clark. I can practically picture it, through the years. He is kinda like the other dad. The fun uncle. The indulgent stepdad. The emotionally matured parent who translates his emotionally stunted partner's actions and words to the children. Its a wonderful troupe. Even if it isn't strictly SuperBat or Clark and Bruce do not have a romantic relationship, I can still see Superman being the unofficial 'other' dad to the Batkids.
I can see them invading Clark's apartment at odd hours of the night to de stress or vent. I can see them call Clark when Bruce is being extra grouchy or has grounded any of them - to whine and nag still Clark distracts Bruce enough for them to slip away. I can see them going to him with the problems which only Superman's infinite patience and his midwestern wisdom can solve. I can see Alfred dumping the kids on Clark when he needs a vacation. I can see the Kents opening up their doors and their hearts to their son's strange not-kids too.
I can see how the Robins have a direct hotline to Superman. They can whisper his name and he will appear out of thin air to aid them. I can see Jason calling for Superman but for the first time in his life he is too late. I can see Clark turning half mad with grief and guilt. (I can also see the inevitable angsty and painful fallout with Bruce after that) I can see Clark trying to build back Batman from ground up, picking up the pieces after Jason and going through his own breakdown. I can see Dick and Clark getting even closer at the aftermath. I can see Clark's friendship with Tim growing. I can see the emotionally charged reunion with Jason, the grief at how that turned out, the inevitable distance and the pain of his failure driving a wedge between them. I can see the incredibly slow healing too. I can see his overprotective tendencies which surpasses even Bruce for the girls (I mean, Supes is a girl dad and you can't convince me otherwise). I can see Damian being distrustful and disrespectful. I can also see Clark winning over the prickliest Robin slowly too.
Can you all see, how deranged I am about the Batfam and Superman being a family?
Also the batfam collectively trying to bring their two fathers together for the better part of a decade? Yessir!
[Like, "Bruce for the love of all that is holy, come on! You have been pining after the big guy for so long that they can probably make a ten seasons soap opera about your requited unrequited love story. I can't take it anymore" - Dick, at some point, probably. Also not Jason filming the entire conversation and sending it to Clark. ]
I am new to the DC. So I am very behind the lore both before and after the rebirth... And this is a little fact that I was unable to find any information about so here I am.
It's not that I am pissed at Batman's son for using a sword to fight, I am pissed about the type of sword he uses to fight.(I am not sure if he is still using it but you get the point) Isn't he half Arabic half Chinese? Why does he use a very well known Japanese sword? I am not knowledgeable about swords so I am hesitant to give examples but even with a simple googling you can find a lot Arabic and Chinese swords... So surely with one of them he could showcase his ancestory and his swordsmanship skills.
I don't understand why would the writters choose an overused Japanese sword... Unless it has an actual meaning behind the katana, Damian looks like a weeb with that stupid sword.
Am I overthinking it because I don't know the lore or am I actually raising a good point?
Sigh. You're not overthinking it, but it's technically not Damian's problem - It's the whole League of Assassins.
It's mostly because the execs, and the higher ups making these decisions, don't understand that their 'racial ambiguity' is doing more harm than good. They vaguely smush together a bunch of Asian/Arabic cultures and never give any clear answers on actual ancestry or culture, and then say "that's good enough, everything on that side of the world is the same anyways"
Ra's is from North Africa most of the time, Talia is half Chinese, Damian is therefore also mixed Arabic and Chinese - Although they're all drawn with varying white passing tans depending on the artist. Sometimes the League is stationed in Pakistan, sonetimes Afghanistan, sometimes they're in the Caribbean, and sometimes they're in the Swiss Alps - But they all use weaponry from East Asia. Why? Because Katanas are 'the most efficient sword'? When Ra's is so insistent on bloodlines and culture and generational honor?
It's lazy, it's messy, and frankly it's racist, islamophobic and insensitive all at the same time.
Basically, Damian uses a katana because the league uses katanas - And they use them because the writers said so.
Alternate return Jason Todd fic where Tim discovers a bunch of money is being embezzled from Wayne Enterprises and Bruce's own bank account and gets curious. He winds up tracking it to some strange drug den in crime alley and slips in secretly only to find its an addiction support centre with free drug checking, needle exchange, and counselling services. Also, the buff guy manning the counter looks weirdly familiar.
Hello! I was just wondering if you had knew the proper order to read Dick as Bats but with Damian as his robin? Thanks!
Sure! I couldnāt tell if you were asking for all the comics that have Dick as Batman or comics specifically where Dick and Damian are both present, so I just did a list for both. The ones in bold have both Dick and Damian present. This list is in my best attempt at an in-universe chronological order...it was hard but I tried (cries). Here we go:Ā
BATMAN DICK GRAYSON COMIC LIST
Nightwing (1996) #138: Dick and Damian first meet. This is part two of seven in āThe Resurrection of Raās al Ghulā arc. You can read the whole thing for context, but this one is the only one with significant interaction between Dick and Damian.Ā
Nightwing (1996) #152-153: Dick tries to reconcile with the fact that Bruce is gone, and that he will have to continue his legacy. These comics have Dick going head to head with Raās al Ghul, and also show him moving back to Gotham.Ā
Battle for the Cowl #1-3: Gotham City is in trouble, and Dick is forced to take on the mantle of Batman.Ā
Batman (1940) #687-688: A lot of this is about Dick learning to be Batman, but you also see a lot of him talking about how he is planning to approach Damian. You also see some of the beginning of Dick training Damian as well. Technically an epilogue to Battle for the Cowl.
Batman (1940) #689-692: Dick continues to adjust to his role as Batman. Two-Face manages to sneak into the Batcave, and tests Dickās conviction.Ā
Batman and Robin (2009) #1-3: Dick and Damianās first time working together as Batman and Robin.Ā
Batman (1940) #693-696: While Batman takes to the streets, Damian is mostly delegated to training, in order to improve his detective work. Unfortunately, Damian doesnāt take the work seriously, leaving Dick vulnerable to Black Maskās and Penguinās plotsā¦
Batman (1940) #697-699: Batman finishes dealing with Black Mask, and goes on to face the Riddler.Ā
Batman: Streets of Gotham #1-16: A collection of stories showing how Robin and Batman are adjusting to their new roles; the duo doesnāt have a lot of trust yet. Interestingly, these comics show more of how Hush was handled. They are also where Damianās friend Colin is introduced for the first time.Ā
Batman and Robin (2009) #4-6: Batman and Robin versus a (somewhat out of character) Red Hood.Ā
Batman and Robin (2009) #7-9: Dick tries to resurrect Batman. Warning: this arc is extremely out of character for Dick and I hate everything about it. But this isnāt a comic rec list so Iāll include it, ugh. Hereās where youād read this monstrosity. If you want to skip it, hereās all youād need to know: 1) Damian went to his mother to heal his spine after Red Hood shot him, and 2) Dick and Damian now have reason to believe Bruce is alive. Bam, now you donāt even have to read it.Ā
Batman and Robin (2009) #10-12: Damian and Dick uncover clues that reveal that Bruce is alive. Meanwhile, Talia attempts to kill Dick...using her own son to do it.Ā
Batman (1940) #700: A special event that has sections where Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, and a future Damian Wayne are Batman. A weird comic overall, but the parts with Damian and Dick are really pretty good.Ā
Batman (1940) #703: Dick and Damian have developed a solid partnership, though Damian is continuing to learn more about being Robin and about his father. The comic acts as a prelude to Bruce Wayne: The Road Home.Ā
Bruce Wayne: The Road Home:Ā Bruce evaluates how things have been going in his absence, and gives his thoughts on the new dynamic duo.Ā
Batman and Robin (2009) #13-16: Dick and Damian struggle to deal with Professor Pyg, Joker, and Dr. Hurt. Bruce returns!Ā
Batman (1940) #704-712: Batman leaves Gotham to Dick while he puts Batman Incorporated into place. Damian, Tim, Azrael, and Selina all make appearances in this stretch of comics.Ā
Batman and Robin (2009) #17-22: Dick and Damian work together as Batman and Robin to stop Una Nemo, and then White Knight in the following arc.Ā
Batman and Robin (2009) #23-25: Dick and Damian team up with Jason to save his former sidekick, Scarlet. (Jasonās still acting a bit more extreme than youād typically expect.)Ā
Batman: Black Mirror: This is a collection of Detective Comics #871-881. Iād say these are my favorite Dick!Batman stories ever. All the cases are very good (really chilling), and the characterizations are top notch stuff. Lots of Gordon, Barbara, and some Tim also.Ā
Batman (1940) #713: Damian tells the story of Batman and Robin. Very heartwarming.Ā
Batman: Gates of Gotham #1-5: A good story, itās interesting to see how Dick interacts with his siblings (ie Cass, Tim, and Damian) as Batman.Ā
Thereās definitely a bit of hopping back and forth required if youāre going to read it this way lmao. Also, here are some more comics with Dick as Batman that I was too lazy to try to put into the timeline here:Ā
Superman/Batman #76: Supermanās reaction to Dick taking up the Batman mantle following Bruceās death. Happens towards the beginning of Dickās time as Batman.Ā
Blackest Night: Batman #1-3: Dick, Tim, and Damian deal with an army of Black Lanterns, composed of once-dead friends and enemies. Bruceās body is stolen, and Dick and Tim have to face their parentsā reanimated corpses.Ā
Red Robin (2009): Mostly focused on Tim Drake. Dick and Damian appear in minor cameos throughout as well though. Itās interesting to look at Dick and Damian as they are in issue #1, with Damian being really rude and not listening to Dick at all, and then jumping to issue #12 and seeing just how much Damian now follows Dickās lead and has changed while Tim was away. Idk, itās just kind of cool. Issues #13-14 also have Tim working with the new dynamic duo as well.Ā
Batgirl (2009): This one is mostly focused on Stephanie Brown taking up the Batgirl mantle in the wake of Bruceās death. Dick and Damian first meet Stephanie in issue #5...and they get off to a very rough start with her lmao. The team features heavily in #6-7 also.Ā
Titans (2008): This series starts off with Dick as Nightwing, but then he leaves the team to become Batman at the end of #10. He appears as Batman in: #15 with Garth, #21 with Starfire (really thought this one was interesting), #23 with Wally and Donna, and #28-30 with Slade.Ā
Justice League of America (2006) #41-60: Dickās time on the Justice League with Donna. Likely takes place towards the middle and end of Dickās time as Batman.Ā
