i keep forgetting KGBeast is, in fact, the villain that shot Nightwing and not a Youtuber

Am I interested in Dick Grayson's innovativeness and how that makes him a terrifying opponent?

Nah, not really, no, it's no- EXCEPT THAT I AM!

I love your analysis and honestly, I always surf through the dick Grayson tag once a day to see if u have posted. Pls drop the innovatiness wala analysis. I would absolutely eat it up

ADSAJHFGAJLHADJLHA YOU CAN'T SEDUCE ME LIKE THAT-MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT!

But I am here to deliver *bows*

Let's start this off with a bang

Dick is completely naked except for a towel and with one (well defined) leg he hooks the handle of the beer bucket and sends it smashing into Midnighter to stop him from using the knife on another person.

Pure. Fucking. Platinum.

That move was so delicious, there's an ease-fluidity-grace-to that split second movement. Also notice how accurate his aim is despite swinging it with the arc of his toes. The bucket slammed right into the medulla oblongata, or more specifically the pyramidal tracts which are crucial for controlling voluntary muscular movements. Nerves from the brain cross over at that area as they go down and then synapse onto other nerves that are responsible for controlling muscles when they leave the spinal cord. The precision at which he aimed the bucket is glorious. And with what? His feet.

The only reason Midnighter wasn't injured is because he is a meta which is the point. Otherwise Dick wouldn't have aimed there unless he was fighting an enemy.

Oh that brings me to my next point.

Dick has extraordinary control of his actions

He's so right though. Nightwing doesn't need to kill because fighting is too easy for him. I swear he has some kind of messed up idea (aside from his need to be absolutely good) that killing someone with a gun would take the joy out of fighting. He loves to live life on the hardest mode only.

The rapid fire throw of the gun, calculating the distance, time, velocity of return, and angle? I mean I studied physics and calculating even half of that on paper is a headache. The fact that he did it in one second? It's extraordinary. Things that are pure, dumb luck to literally everyone else is carefully calculated at a speed faster than light, making it look like luck. Damn.

Yeah.

Forget Slade. Midnighter is my new favorite nemesister.

DO YOU SEE WHAT HE FOUGHT WITH?! WHILE DEATHSTROKE AND BLACK ADAM WERE FIGHTING WITH META POWERS AND A CURSED SWORD, HE FUCKING WRAPPED CHAINS AROUND HIMSELF LIKE A BOSS AND WHIPPED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT MAN.

Please take a moment of silence to relish in this sight.

Dick's innovativeness is a formidable skill when fighting allies.

Dick and Ras are evenly matched in sword fighting.

Wait, wait. I don't need any doubts about Dick's strength in sword fighting so I'm going to include a couple panels here:

Dick fights Azrael to a standstill which is absolutely incredible because Azrael solos. He's gone through many upgrades and skills and is one of the best fighters ever. He's even defeated Bruce.

He also defeated Jason and Tim together in Batman and Robin Eternal.

This is just another point towards the fact that Dick actually won in his fight against Bruce before going into Spyral. They weren't holding back.

Oh yeah. Ra's vs Dick panel, Dick and Ra's aren't going anywhere because Dick is a swordsman equivalent to one of the best in the world. So how do you win a draw? By one upping the opponent. He swings his foot up in midair and completely defeats him. "But that isn't a defeat...Ra's just stopped fighting!" It was complete defeat because Ra's is intelligent and knows when he can't win. Also they have been fighting for a while until they reached the breaking point in the battle. This move is a show of how Dick has that just one inch more that will lead him to be a victor.

Ra's honors Dick so much he tried to give the sword he used to fight with Batman because he thinks Dick is worthy of it. Can anyone receive a higher honor than this from that man?

He'll also use the broken glass of a car window to take down his opponent. If that's not innovation, then what is?

But one last thing since a car door cannot be considered innovative these days.

sticks. He literally took two twigs off the ground to use as weapons against his highly skilled, one of the best assassins, great-grandfather who is fighting with daggers in his hands and all over his body.

But you know the best part?

He draws his opponent to a tie. A tie? Not a win? No it was win after, considering he used his relative's falling body as a launching pad in the middle of the air when they were falling off the bridge to grab onto the bridge with the help of his friend. So it was his win but it's insane how incredible Dick's skills are.

It's really innovative because who thinks of using twigs and winning? Let me also clarify another point. Dick could've used the knives he'd gotten from his talon suit and thoroughly won because when he was brain washed he almost killed Red Condor from how skilled he was but he conscientiously chose to use twigs. In a sword fight. This man.

His improvisation is an asset that many have come to know him for and classify him as dangerous because he can fight with anything, anywhere, and win.

Something I want to end with. Dick only fights people who are stronger than him. I know he's fought mob characters and stuff but his enemies? They are all metas, assassins, skilled fighters, Russian Black Ops, and more. Essentially, people who are the top of the class in their categories and him defeating them equally and fairly is the reason why he has the respect of his enemies. He's just that good.

I think about how KG beast shot Nightwing and I have to wonder... Why the fuck did he think that was a good idea ?

Just going after Batman's first partner alone seems like a terrible idea.He has a no kill rule that doesn't mean he can't put you in the hospital, never recovering from the injuries you got (also Batman, canonically, can go a little berserk if it's one of his kids if there is no one around to stop him).

But not only that, Nightwing is one of the most well-connected heroes of the DCU.He is the guy who has connection to almost every superhero teams in the DC universe. He is the first sidekick of the justice league and was part of it as full member quite a few times both as himself and as Batman and the first Robin and all of that are known facts in-universe.

KG Beast will never know peace now because he accepted that contract..and that is so funny to me.

Batgirls #9 - Oh Hey, They Beat Up A Named Bad Guy, Neat!

Following the seeming end of all that Seer nonsense, the book goes in for what feels like a soft reboot, as a new status quo is established for the Batgirls. While patrolling, long-time Bat Villain KGBeast attempts to jump the duo, and is promptly beaten up for the... fourth(?) time in relation to the dreaded Ric Grayson Incident.

Despite Steph getting knocked from her perch by the next Big Bad of the book, the pair discover the latest victim of the local serial killer (established way back in the first arc, but not really followed up on due to reasons). The pair display their detective skills, but have to head away following the discovery of a cypher hidden within a false eye put in the victim’s head...

...

I enjoyed this issue, it was fun! Cass got more to do and a chance to show her competence as both a fighter and a detective for once, while Steph’s emotional involvement in the case (she falsely suspected a neighbour was the killer, only for him to become the most recent victim instead) so that’ll be her arc going forwards. Also, Babs is sliding back into a supporting role again after being the defacto main character for most of the past nine issues (despite the book originally being advertised as a Cass and Steph joint).

Steph still seems to be acting as the Fun(tm) one as seen in some fanon interpretations, but at least she’s not full Mabel Pines as I’ve heard some describe her. Kind of jarring after how she was written in James Tynion IV’s Detective Comics run is all.

I’ll admit to being confused why Babs would include an emoji of her actual face there, but I’m pretty sure that KGBeast has known who the Bat Family are for some time now, since maybe the Tom King run possibly?

Also, Cass suplexing someone is awesome. Feels like it’s been ages since we’ve see her just TANK someone.

Of Monsters And Men - Chapter 1 - RigorMorton - The Batman (Movie 2022) [Archive of Our Own]

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Me and Anny are still at it. Can't get Reeves verse Riddlejokes out of our heads. We just really needed Batman and Gordon finding out about Eddie and Joker, and this is what our overactive imaginations came up with. I wrote for Joker and Anny for Eddie. We took turns writing for the other characters. Enjoy.

Summary: Marv, a guard at Arkham gets drunk at a bar with his buddy and let's it slip that the Riddler and Joker are an item, not realizing the other patrons around them are overhearing all the juicy details.

The story ends up making headlines and when word gets back to Batman, he and Gordon deem their relationship dangerous and head down to Arkham in an attempt to tear the two lovers apart. When their initial attempt fails, they show Eddie Joker's file, revealing exactly why the clown was thrown into Arkham. Eddie doesn't take it well.
