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. Gotham’s crime is criminal based, where every crime is a robbery or a murder or any other visible crime. On the other hand Blüdhaven’s 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.

PSA: Dick Grayson’s Birthday

And other comic birthdays & dates in general. I’m just going to clear up something about comic book continuity & dates and how they work.

I’m noticing a lot of confusion about Dick’s birthday right now. I’m not talking about the March 20th versus March 21st debate. [It’s the 20th, sorry.] I’m talking about this confusion where Dick seems to have 3-4 birthdays. Comics are confusing as hell, so this is definitely understandable. I’m hopefully just making this easier for other people.

[Here’s 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, let’s toss in Dick’s 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 won’t stop you (in fact, it sounds fun), but that’s not quite how comic birthdays work.

Here’s 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

Dick’s birthday was November 11th in pre-crisis continuity. That means it’s valid for comics published prior to the year 1985. If we’re talking about golden and silver age Dick Grayson, you’d 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. That’s just how comics work. New Earth (Pre-52) Dick does not have his birthday on November 11th. If you’re talking about the Dixon Nightwing run or BatDick, you’re 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 there’s 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 Bruce’s parent’s 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 Dick’s parents’ deaths.

If you’re discussing New Earth Dick Grayson, then his birthday is on March 20 and his parents died on June 27.

If you’re 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, it’s common convention to stick with the last continuity’s dates until the newest continuity “retcons” them or confirms they’re the same.

Hopefully that all made sense and I didn’t just make this even more confusing. When it comes to Dick’s Earth-16 birthday of Dec 1st, that’s limited to Young Justice Dick Grayson. When we’re talking about modern comic book adaptions, it’s the Pre-52 dates we care about.

Extra:

heckyesdamianwayne

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 anon… 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 Damian’s 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 Lil’ Gotham, but sadly now he doesn’t 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 doesn’t 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 can’t.

(There’s also a fairly solid theory that Colin may be the son of Tommy Elliot, aka Hush, but who cares)Enter: DAMIAN “BABY TEETH” WAYNE-!!

Also you can definitely tell Dick was raised by Bruce cause he sees the “I’ve obsessively checked in on you for days” as a proof of love

Apology From Mod Taxi

hey everyone! I’m 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 she’s done and said. Because of this I’m removing the reference to Hogwarts and changing the prompt to “magic AU”. 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:

🎇 + 😺 + 🥺 for dick & jason & if you do kyle rayner but if not then for hal!

Jason, Kyle, and Hal under the cut.

Dick

🎇 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. “You’re so beautiful baby, fuck, nobody does it like you do.” He’ll be whimpering and making a mess of himself, just for you in moments.

😺 how they eat the pussy

Dick is a fucking terror when it comes to eating pussy. It’s his bread and butter, his first point of call in any sexual experience. He loves it. He’s good at it, and he knows it.

He doesn’t let on to any of that of course, not the first time. “You ever had this sweet pussy eaten before?” Is all he’d 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.

“Not well.” You’d lamented, tickled by the hot breath of his laughter at your response. “Good luck.”

In minutes he had you reeling, fists clenched in his dark locks, your toes curled, breath hitching. Dick doesn’t need luck.

He gets so pussy drunk too, it’s a problem. As stated, you’re seeing stars before you even know what’s what but Dick’s not going to settle for just one, two, not even tree orgasms. He’s going until his jaw falls off or you put your foot down, and it’s hard to put your foot down once he’s found that sweet spot deep in your cunt that makes your legs kick uncontrollably into the air.

🥺 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 wasn’t for a lack of trying either. You’d 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.

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. ]

oh-no-deer

Why does Damian use a katana?

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?

dyke--vader

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.

jasontodddidnothingwrong

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 couldn’t 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:

BATMAN DICK GRAYSON COMIC LIST

Nightwing (1996) #138: Dick and Damian first meet. This is part two of seven in “The Resurrection of Ra’s al Ghul” arc. You can read the whole thing for context, but this one is the only one with significant interaction between Dick and Damian.

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 Ra’s al Ghul, and also show him moving back to Gotham.

Battle for the Cowl #1-3: Gotham City is in trouble, and Dick is forced to take on the mantle of Batman.

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 Dick’s conviction.

Batman and Robin (2009) #1-3: Dick and Damian’s first time working together as Batman and Robin.

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 doesn’t take the work seriously, leaving Dick vulnerable to Black Mask’s and Penguin’s plots…

Batman (1940) #697-699: Batman finishes dealing with Black Mask, and goes on to face the Riddler.

Batman: Streets of Gotham #1-16: A collection of stories showing how Robin and Batman are adjusting to their new roles; the duo doesn’t have a lot of trust yet. Interestingly, these comics show more of how Hush was handled. They are also where Damian’s friend Colin is introduced for the first time.

Batman and Robin (2009) #4-6: Batman and Robin versus a (somewhat out of character) Red Hood.

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 isn’t a comic rec list so I’ll include it, ugh. Here’s where you’d read this monstrosity. If you want to skip it, here’s all you’d 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 don’t even have to read it.

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.

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.

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.

Bruce Wayne: The Road Home: Bruce evaluates how things have been going in his absence, and gives his thoughts on the new dynamic duo.

Batman and Robin (2009) #13-16: Dick and Damian struggle to deal with Professor Pyg, Joker, and Dr. Hurt. Bruce returns!

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.

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.

Batman and Robin (2009) #23-25: Dick and Damian team up with Jason to save his former sidekick, Scarlet. (Jason’s still acting a bit more extreme than you’d typically expect.)

Batman: Black Mirror: This is a collection of Detective Comics #871-881. I’d 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.

Batman (1940) #713: Damian tells the story of Batman and Robin. Very heartwarming.

Batman: Gates of Gotham #1-5: A good story, it’s interesting to see how Dick interacts with his siblings (ie Cass, Tim, and Damian) as Batman.

There’s definitely a bit of hopping back and forth required if you’re 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:

Superman/Batman #76: Superman’s reaction to Dick taking up the Batman mantle following Bruce’s death. Happens towards the beginning of Dick’s time as Batman.

Blackest Night: Batman #1-3: Dick, Tim, and Damian deal with an army of Black Lanterns, composed of once-dead friends and enemies. Bruce’s body is stolen, and Dick and Tim have to face their parents’ reanimated corpses.

Red Robin (2009): Mostly focused on Tim Drake. Dick and Damian appear in minor cameos throughout as well though. It’s 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 Dick’s lead and has changed while Tim was away. Idk, it’s just kind of cool. Issues #13-14 also have Tim working with the new dynamic duo as well.

Batgirl (2009): This one is mostly focused on Stephanie Brown taking up the Batgirl mantle in the wake of Bruce’s 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.

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.

Justice League of America (2006) #41-60: Dick’s time on the Justice League with Donna. Likely takes place towards the middle and end of Dick’s time as Batman.

Hope this is helpful to you!
