Who should be Robin in a future DCEU Batman prequel trilogy(as its likely gonna be called)?
I always loved the idea of having Asa Butterfield as Dick Grayson ever since I saw him for the first time in Merlin. He’s 22 years old now but he looks so much younger than his actual age. More importantly, he has dick’s innocent look with piercing blue eyes.
DC is using New 52 stories for their movies from WW to Shazam!, so having a 16-17 years old Dick who grows older and becomes Nightwing during the trilogy would make room to bring Jason and Tim in it as well.
Why do you prefer Dick Grayson with Kory? And should they ultimately end up together?
I’ve split your ask into two parts:
Why do you prefer Dick Grayson with Kory?
There are hundreds of reasons why I love Dick and Kory, but I’ll keep the list short to turn it from becoming an essay. The main reasons why I love Dick and Kory together is because:
the relationship benefits both of them immensely/the relationship is a good balance
their connection is extremely special
they’re extremely cute together
[the rest is under the cut]
the relationship benefits both of them immensely
One of the main reasons why Dick/Kory were so popular during Wolfman’s NTT run was because of the character development that resulted from their relationship - and still continues whenever they are together, even platonically. Without sounding too clichéd, Kory is the main reason why Dick has never fully become Batman 2.0, no matter how much some fans and some writers want that.
She opened him up emotionally, forcing him to acknowledge and process his emotions instead of hiding them away like Bruce taught him. She also brings out his lighter side. Dick helped Kory’s impulsiveness and provides love and care to her - a stark contrast to her dark history as a slave.
the relationship is a good balance
This sort of links with the above point, but Dick and Kory provide a nice contrast, whereas a lot of other Dick ships don’t have that sort of contrast, or if they do, it’s not to this level. Whilst Kory is guided by her emotions, Dick is more grounded, more logical. Kory is hot-headed and passionate, and whilst Dick is also both of those things, it’s in a much more restrained way until it all comes spilling out again. They’re both extremely passionate but in such different ways.
Both of them are intense, both of them love with all of their heart. They provide a nice balance of similarities but enough differences to stop the relationship from becoming stale.
their connection is extremely special
Because of their contrast and similarities, Dick/Kory end up with a really special bond. I think it’s best summed up in the panels below. They’re both very vocal about their love for one another, even when they’ve broken up and they’re not actually romantically involved.
They know each other so well. Kory watched Dick transition from Robin, to plain ol’ Dick Grayson, to Nightwing, to Batman. She knows who he is at his core, and he knows who she is at her core.
When things go badly - as they inevitably do - they seek each other out for comfort.
they’re extremely cute together
This is the easiest one to answer with just pure comic panels. Dick and Kory are extremely sweet together and nobody can deny how cute some of these moments are.
There’s also the other fun misc stuff, like the fact that Dick and Kory’s kids are literal Flying Graysons, the memorable start to their relationship (first kiss before their first words), or the fact that they have immense trust (Dick was literally having sex dreams about Raven and yet he still told Kory about them so they could figure out why).
And should they ultimately end up together?
Obviously this is a DickKory ship blog so of course we want them to ultimately end up together.
However I think in general, with all of the other heroes beginning to settle down, Dick should start doing so, too, in the distant future. Dick is the only Titan out of the original silver age Teen Titans that never had a child in main continuity. He’s had two kids with Kory in AUs - Mar'i and Jake from Kingdom Come and Nightwing: The New Order, respectively, and they’ve been married in three universes as well as romantically involved in several others.
The biggest argument against Dick/Kory is that Kory doesn’t belong in a street-level Nightwing book, but Kory dating (or even marrying) Dick doesn’t equate to her suddenly becoming involved in every mission he’s in. Having Dick married to Kory or even giving them a kid together opens up the potential for so many new storyline ideas that haven’t been explored yet.
And one thing is for certain: in every universe that Dick married Kory, it was certain that they were extremely happy together (that is until comic writers did what they do best - killing off characters and making the universe crazy).
Whoever wrote this confession needs to get beaten in an alley, continuously. What a triggered bitch, lol. Tom is more famous than your dirty ass, fool! Why does this blog allow stupid confessions like these????
Oh....okay. So because someone hates Tom Holland they deserve to get beaten up? Oh, okay. You are definitely in the right here you child. Why does your mother allow you on the computer this late at night?
Jesus....I don’t hate Tom Holland but some of his fans are crazy. Are they serious? Like...my God.
This is Sultan-78, and I wanted to say.. I’m sorry. About everything. For hating on you for liking a character that I wasn’t always fond of. It has taken me a while to come up with words to say this(almost 6 months or more since we have been at it, I guess?), but I realized that it’s unfair to attack someone, who sees this character in a different way and appreciates them. I was dumb when I started my blog(heck, isn’t anyone on Tumblr), but I realized people can be sensitive and it’s mean to hate or be an asshole towards people with different opinion. Especially when it’s directed on a character who from little i’ve seen of. I’m not gonna stress much more of this, but I’m sincerely sorry. And you don’t have to forgive me, I know that I probably deep down hurt you. But it feels good to get this off my chest. And to let you know that you’re a pretty person
// I very much appreciate the sincerity and apology, and I’m glad you saw how hurtful actions like that can be. I’m willing to bury the hatchet and move on from it all. I’ve unblocked you in a show of good faith. Thank you again for taking the time to reach out and apologize.
Any ones where Lily wears the pants in their relationship?
We felt a little confused about the words “wearing the pants,” as gender roles are very blurred as of late and we can’t work out what you’re looking for specifically? Please give us an idea of specific things you’re looking for in terms of Lily being dominant or James being besotted or any help with this really!
Without further clarification the best we can recommend is checking out the badass!Lily or feisty!Lily tags.
