I need some new circus-themed rogue to show up in either Gotham or Blüdhaven just so that Dick can nitpick everything about their gimmick. Like, to the level of the one time that Dick went on this near page long rant about the difference between circuses and carnivals and the fact that circuses don’t have rides.
Like I need to see him have an aerial fight with this rogue and have Dick fully giving them notes while they’re fighting. I just had the image of Dick swinging after a rogue in my head and shouting “POINT YOUR TOES!” At them when they flip over a gap. And like. Quizzing them on circus terminology too, and when it becomes clear they just… stole the aesthetic, he starts rattling off a list of things for them to know to actually do a circus gimmick right, before ending it off with “come on, you could’ve done at least a little research.”
Honestly just give me more nitpicky Nightwing in general. He’s VERY protective over the circus and I need to see that more tbh. But also that’s your way to get advice from a Flying Grayson entirely unsolicited, aspiring acrobats out there.
