“batman loves his nightwing” this and “batsibs love nightwing that”, what about the batsibs’ friends / team loving nightwing ‼️‼️

YES!!! They love him!

The thing about Dick Grayson is that he has such a unique quality that just draws people in and holds them captive.

Titans (2016) Issue #26

He has a charisma that's intense. People from all walks of life find themselves just constantly looking at him for friendship, advice, love, guidance, and just something that calls them to him.

It's the impact he has on people that's astounding.

Titans (2016) Issue #27

They love him so much and they respect him so much that his absence is like a huge gaping hole in their chest. People feel lost without him because they've come to rely so heavily on him. Gar and Steel literally only joined because Dick asked.

This is something Roy catches on to and is well-aware of. He practically hounds Dick into creating the Outsiders with him.

Outsiders (2003) Issue #1

But you think Roy is the only one to capitalize on Dick's Nightwing effect? Hell no.

Titans East Special

Dick isn't just a person. He's a home. He's the guiding hand and the ship's steer control. He's special to people because he's everything they want him to be. He's their lover, best friend, brother, and partner. Whatever role they're missing in life they find it him him because he makes himself versatile enough to fill whatever they're looking for.

Dark Crisis Issue #1

We say batsibs' teams but he's the whole Justice community's everything. He fills the connections of both Batman's side and Superman's side.

He IS the most well-connected person in the entire community.

Teen Titans (2003) Issue #23

Look at what Kon says -

"Nightwing and Starfire brought wave two. Which is just about everyone whose ever been a Titan. It's a natural thing when Nightwing shows up. None of us are conscious of it, really--but we all look to him for orders. Robin's lucky."

The sheer respect. That Kon has for Nightwing is indomitable. Oh, but you think that's all?

Do you know what the superhero community says about Nightwing? Kon will tell you what they think -

He calls. They answer.

Hero-worship of Nightwing is canonically universal. Renaming this the Nightwing Effect

And sometimes this means more than friendship love but still born out of respect. It's so funny to me how Dick goes around friendzoning people.

Even when people don't like what he wants they still do it because they respect him. Because he had an impact on them and they were were moved

Even people he's just met are like - this guy's pretty good!

Green Lantern (1990) Issue #81

Coming from a Green Lantern comic!! Not even a Wondergirl, Wonderwoman, Batman, or Nightwing writer. A green lantern!

Speaking of which, when Hal Jordon dies, a list of people are selected to be The Hal Jordon's replacement and guess who it is?

Action Comics (1938) Issue #642

Hal forces his soul back into his body and comes back to life but DC does a "what-if" thing and shows what it would be like if Dick actually became a Green Lantern.

Superman/Batman Issue #60

AND BRUCE'S REACTION!! His most favorite son combined with one of his least favorite people 🤣🤣

Superman/Batman Issue #60

But Bruce's faith in Dick actually elavtes his opinion of Hal.

ALSO!!-

Superman/Batman Issue #61

I JUST KNOW THAT BRUCE WAS WRITHING IN JEALOUSY!!

But anyway, shows to prove that no matter who Dick is and what identity he takes, he will always be the love of the hero community. Because in this world, each member is a combination of the Justice League AND the Titans.

Superman/Batman Issue #60

Yet Dick is still the center of it all.

A literal god

Nightwing (2016) Issue #49

Jon and the hero community

Justice League: Road to Dark Crisis Issue #1

"It would mean a LOT to people if you came and said--" "You're all overreacting." "We need you."

"You're all overreacting." - Clearly, this isn't the first time someone has already come to Dick about being the center of the community.

Not just by the batfam, but for everyone Dick is the most beloved person in the community. That is a fact.

"First Impressions Matter" DAMIRAE

Summary:

Rachel Roth meets Damian Wayne's family for the first time. Despite Bruce's initial reservations about her lineage and powers, she quickly wins over the chaotic Wayne household—including Damian’s inquisitive younger sister, Alice.

Warnings: Fluffy, Humor, Family Dynamics

Wayne Manor had seen it all: supervillain invasions, hero gatherings, and even extravagant parties orchestrated by Alfred with more efficiency than any Gotham event. But hosting Damian Wayne's girlfriend? That was new territory.

Bruce Wayne stood in the main hall, impeccably dressed, his jaw so tense Alfred could almost hear his teeth grinding. He’d read every possible report about Rachel Roth, and what he found didn’t sit well: daughter of Trigon, demonic powers, Teen Titans member. But what bothered him the most was the way Damian spoke about her, with an unfamiliar mix of admiration and… hope.

“Relax, Master Bruce,” Alfred murmured, adjusting the picture frames on the mantle. “She’s just a young woman. Let’s not frighten her before she even steps inside.”

“I can’t promise that,” Bruce replied dryly.

The sound of an engine outside announced Damian and Rachel’s arrival. Alfred went to open the door, maintaining his characteristic poise, while Bruce strategically positioned himself near the fireplace, like a judge preparing to deliver a verdict.

Damian entered first, exuding his usual confidence. Beside him was Rachel, dressed in a simple black coat and dark pants, her posture calm. Her violet eyes scanned the manor, betraying no nervousness, only curiosity.

“Father,” Damian began without ceremony. “This is Rachel.”

Rachel offered a small polite smile and extended her hand to Bruce.

“Mr. Wayne. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Bruce hesitated, his mind flooding with images of Trigon and the ominous reports. But then he glanced at Damian. His son’s gaze wasn’t defiant, as he expected. It was… expectant, almost vulnerable.

Bruce shook her hand, keeping his expression neutral.

“Welcome to our home, Rachel.”

Before the tension could thicken, Dick Grayson entered from the side door, his grin bright enough to light up Gotham.

“Rachel! Finally!” He crossed the room and hugged her in an exaggerated manner, making Damian roll his eyes.

“Don’t be an idiot, Grayson,” Damian muttered.

“Relax, Dami.” Dick winked at Rachel. “He’s only acting like this because he’s nervous.”

“I’m not nervous,” Damian retorted, crossing his arms.

Jason Todd appeared next, hands in his pockets and an amused expression on his face.

“So, you’re the famous Raven.” He looked her up and down, making no effort to hide his scrutiny. “Well, you don’t look as scary as Batman’s report said.”

“Todd, I suggest you shut your mouth,” Damian growled.

Rachel, unfazed, raised an eyebrow.

“I prefer to keep the mystery alive,” she said evenly.

Jason chuckled as Tim Drake entered the room, holding a coffee mug. He glanced at Rachel, nodded, and said:

“Welcome. Hope you survive the madness of this house.”

Rachel’s lips curved slightly.

“Thanks. I’ve dealt with worse.”

As the introductions continued, hurried footsteps descending the stairs drew everyone’s attention.

“Dami!” Alice bounded down the staircase, her black hair streaked with blue catching the light as she leaped the last few steps.

“Alice, slow down!” Alfred chided, but she was already in the room.

Alice stopped abruptly when she saw Rachel, blinking in surprise.

“Who’s this?” she asked, her curiosity unmistakable as she looked from Rachel to Damian.

“Rachel,” Damian answered before anyone else could.

“Oh… Rachel.” Alice tilted her head, her eyes sparkling. “Damian’s girlfriend?” She grinned mischievously. “He’s never brought anyone home before, so you must be his girlfriend. Or has my baby brother not mastered social interaction yet?”

“Alice!” Damian snapped, but Rachel chuckled softly.

“I suppose I am,” Rachel admitted calmly.

Alice dashed to her side, ignoring the room’s tension, and fired off questions.

“So, do you like books? What’s your favorite food? What kind of music do you like? Is Damian as grumpy as he seems?”

“Alice.” Bruce’s voice broke in, though it lacked its usual sternness.

“Relax, Dad. I’m just getting to know my future sister-in-law.”

Damian pressed a hand to his face in exasperation.

Rachel, however, seemed unfazed, answering Alice’s rapid-fire questions with patience and even a hint of humor.

When Alice finally paused, she turned to Damian with a teasing smile.

“You know, Dami, she’s pretty great. I don’t know what she sees in you, but I like her.”

Jason burst out laughing, and even Tim smirked.

“Alice,” Damian started, but Rachel placed a hand lightly on his arm.

“I like her too,” Rachel said, smiling warmly at Alice.

Bruce watched the scene unfold, his jaw still tense but his posture easing slightly. Trusting Rachel completely would take time—if it happened at all. But seeing the light in Damian’s eyes and the way Rachel navigated his chaotic family made Bruce wonder if this young woman might be exactly what his son needed.

And for Bruce Wayne, that was a significant step forward.

I want to thank everyone who voted in my poll! Damijon was the winner, but I also really love DamiRae, so since Damirae came in second place, I decided to write this little oneshot. Damirae will not appear in the Star fanfic, Damijon will be one of the couples mentioned in the fanfic, but if you want to read and comment there to support me, I will leave the link below.

Hello! I recently tripped face first into an obsession and I want to start getting into the comics (specifically red hood) so where should I start? There's so much and I'm a bit overwhelmed

It’s totally okay to feel overwhelmed, there is A LOT of media to cover. But here is the thing that I like to remind people, you don’t HAVE to read certain comics in order to enjoy a character. You can be a Batman fan and only read absolute Batman. You can be a Nightwing fan but have only read titans. And that’s okay! There is no right way to dive into the comic world. Go at your own pace, and you’ll find the style of stories that you most enjoy!

That being said, here is a list of comics I think are great for beginners (apologies for the long post):

- Nightwing (Dawn of DC) great story and art.

- Titans. Both Rebirth and Dawn of DC have some good stories.

- Teen Titans. Again both Dawn of DC and Rebirth have good stories!

- Superman: Son of Kal El. A great intro to Jon Kent’s Superboy, with a great story and amazing visuals.

-Like the Damian and Jon dynamic? SuperSons (rebirth) and Adventures of the Super Sons

- Batman and Robin: Year One. A more recent take on Bruce taking in Dick. Super cute and explores their characters well.

- The Kami Garcia Titans Books (Raven, Beast Boy, Beast Boy Loves Raven, Starfire, and Robin) A modern take on the characters with super great art by Gabriel Picolo.

- Constantine: Distorted Illusions. A modern younger Constantine novel, also by Kami Garcia.

- Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow. Explores Conner Kent finding his place in a world full of supers.

Now, in regards to Red Hood. You’ve got some options.

-Death in the Family

-Red Hood and The Outlaws (New 52) now I know this isn’t everyone’s favorite run, but I personally enjoyed it, and it ties directly into Red Hood and Arsenal which gives us peak bromance

- Red Hood and the Outlaws (Rebirth) ft. Bizzaro and Artemis

- Nightwing Annual 2021. Can not recommend this enough. Gives us a really good brother story between Dick and Jason.

-Batman: Under the Red Hood

-Red Hood: Lost Days. Haven’t read it personally yet, but have heard good things.

-Task Force Z. Another one I haven’t read yet, I’ve heard it’s kinda like a suicide squad type thing.

Also can not recommend these free reads on Webtoons enough:

- Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

- Red Hood and the Outlaws

- Zatanna and the Ripper

Most of these can be read on Dc infinite for free (can’t read certain comics without a subscription, can get a 7 day free trial then it’s $7.99 a month)

Hope that this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

[dc-polls-not-the-og]

Why Raven and Zatanna: they both are powerful magic users, also I like how Raven is a crow and Zatanna a white pidgeon

Why Impulse and Booster: they both are from the future (not same time period), it would be funny to see them talking about futuristic stuff

Why Beast Boy and Animal Man: they both have relation with the Red and are activists for animal rights

Why Mad Hatter and Red Alice: they are Alice in Wonderland themed, and for what I know they've never interacted

Why Music Maister and Riddler: theater kids and drama queens

So, today I've read Jon's DC Pride comic and.... I mean I didn't have much expectations but I'm still disappointed. My only expectation was to see some pretty art but they didn't have pretty art.

This is DC's official Pride comic and I must say, it wasn't thought much upon and it was so unserious. It was fanfic-y, crack comic and it wasn't even fun? The characters were strangers, they didn't feel like characters, more like queer character stereotype. I don't know much about Jay but Jon was written horribly.

For hundreds of years queer people were condemned just for existing and this is the representation they get from a multi-millionaire famous company?

The art style didn't suit the American comics. This is supposed to be a Western comic but the art style felt like a very cheap yaoi manga. I don't want to insult anyone's art style but this is supposed to be DC's annual Pride comic, so I expected better art, better writing and overall better quality.

The story was very empty and it didn't add any insight to character's psychology, mentality and personality. I can say that it was a waste of money, time and effort to do all of this.

And I also saw Raven and if my mutual hadn't said that it was Raven, I wouldn't have any idea that it was Raven.

DC needs to hire better writers, better artists and better editors for their Pride comics. It shouldn't be such a waste.
