Nightwing 83 Review

guess who isn't weeks late this time. my opinion of the series is going up a little bit. it's still not great, but i'm not actively put off by it anymore the way i was after 81. not going to tag as spoilers, but be warned that they are under the cut

i’m sure you all are well aware of this but now, but dear god i love bruno redondo’s art. like, an unhealthy amount. the pink and blue is getting to be a theme with either him or just this run, but i am definitely enjoying it. the movement in this cover is clearly obvious, but well done. you recoznize right off the bat that the cover was drawn to drag your eyes down the page until you get to the bottom, but you enjoy the whole ride there. 

also, redondo’s way of drawing a character in stages of action so we can see just how much they’re doing in a split second of movement is quickly becoming something i like to see drawn with dick, and any other character that has that sort of ease of movement and body sense, like cass or sin or maybe a super. 

and he’s in action the entire time! there’s shot drawn just to show off a shirtless comic book character, the way nightwing is so often subjected to. he’s shirtless because he’s changing his clothes, and that’s all we see, no more and no less. very practical, very well done. i like it.

he looks so cute right here oh my god. the little squint, the hair curls. it’s adorable.

but also like. unless melinda has specifically outfitted the door spyhole so that the person on the other side can’t see dick looking through it (and in all honesty she might have) then everyone on the other side can see dick looking through that door. 

bringing your attention back to the “i can’t see melinda’s fbi file oh no!! it’s redacted!! whatever can we do!!” stupidity. redacted files are child’s play for oracle, and definitely doable for both dick and bruce. so that’s bullshit.

now, melinda apparently grew up with the maroni family, then took down part of the family from the inside. the maroni family is a large and notable presence in gotham, one that bruce pays a respectable amount of attention to. he definitely would have grown suspicious when two members of the maroni family were taken down, and with some investigation, he would have discovered melinda’s plan. and it should go without saying that the majority of things you see batman doing? dick can do it too.

it’s not so much that i don’t like how clever the villains/antiheroes are getting. i don’t like how dc heroes are increasingly written as less intelligent. they seem to be relying on pure fighting skills or luck, which may be the case for a couple heroes, but has never been the case for most of dc’s big name heroes, the bat family included. it’s irritating to me to see this sort of stuff pop up as a major plot point when i know that, if dick or bruce had been written with the amount of skill and power that they canonically possess, this entire mess would have been sorted out years ago.

unrelated but dick and melinda have the same hair

this may just be me, but i was always under the impression that dick doesn’t really have a “double life???”

yes, he’s talented enough to create enough differences between robin/nightwing and dick grayson’s mannerisms, way of movement, voices, and speech patterns so that it’s very difficult to put the two together.

but nightwing has never been separate from dick grayson, not the way bruce and batman is. he’s always leaned more towards clark in that aspect: his hero persona is an exaggerated, stately, larger-than-life version of who he really is. there’s no second persona, no real “dick grayson identity” and “nightwing identity.” they’re the same person with the same goals, ideas, and skills. one just pretends to abide by the law, and one gives up pretense of that.

oh good thank god. if he’d trusted her right off the bat (hehe. bat.) i would have slapped him upside the head. at least he’s still got instincts.

gosh the colouring on this is cool. the red has enough purple and pink tones to it that it doesn’t abruptly ruin the tone of the artwork. but it’s definitely glaring enough to take the reader outside of this personal moment they had slipped into between dick and melinda, to put them back in the present where they’re reminded that oh yea there are people hunting dick down. 

the next panel keeps this up too, in a less severe way. melinda’s bodyguard shows up (i forgot her name sorry :[ ) and subtly places us in the middle of an action scene rather than a private, personal scene.

laughing so fucking hard have our little vigilantes grown so accustomed to breaking into places that it doesn’t even register as a crime anymore??? tim coming in through the fire escape to pick bernard up for their date and being very much confused as to why bernard is freaking out.

i really like melinda’s shirt and now despite all the work i have to do and the fucking conference i have to host on monday i want to spend hours scrolling through clothing shops online trying to find this shirt. the mock neck/neckline is so cool i want it

so roland just assumes that a very dangerous vigilante who is highly talented in combat and a very dangerous bodyguard who is also highly talented in combat had a fight that ended with this very dangerous bodyguard being tied up and she looks completely fine? roland just assumes that her having no visible wounds or bruises means that they got into a fight and she lost that easily? uh. aight then

dick what are you doing. legitimately what the fuck are you doing. why are you posing oh my god. you are injured and tired and in absolutely no position to go hand to hand with one of main enemies. jesus christ run away or head to lower ground or something. don’t just stand around letting the floodlights show exactly where you are.

i don’t understand what he’s trying to do here??? blockbuster fully bought the story that dick fought them both, won, tried to get info out of them and failed, then hightailed it out of there. he didn’t have to draw roland out for a fight.

but it does look cool. the way the light just highlights his silhouette and the blue parts of his costume does look badass. he does get style points in my book for this.

w h a t  d i d  i  f u c k i n g  t e l l  y o u ,  d i c k ?

very classic superhero line and it does sound like something dick would say in a fit of righteous rage but also it makes me laugh so hard because all vigilantes think they’re so powerful that the law doesn’t apply to them. dick vigilantism is illegal. you’re acting above the law and pretending it doesn’t apply to you. hypocritical much?

it happens so often in superhero movies, tv shows, comics, whatever and it makes me giggle every damn time.

pretty decent comeback but before i start seeing people writing blockbuster as a thug i’m going to remind you that he made a deal with a demon for genius level intellect. if this turns into another bane situation i’m going to be a little miffed. he’s a smart man, which makes him a dangerous and infinitely more interesting enemy for nightwing.

this is so horribly in character i want to scream. (or. at least. it lines up with one of the versions of nightwing i have in my head.) he’s running right towards the bullets, miraculously doesn’t get shot, while making a sort-of pun. i hate this so much. i love him.

this is cool. this art is really really cool.

he leaped from a building right towards a helicopter that’s actively shooting at him, but none of the bullets are touching him. none of the corruption of the city can touch him no matter how hard it tries, because he’s too good to be corrupted. Comic Book Logic Can Be Good Sometimes Actually.

batman’s belt what??? swiss army knife who?? sorry, i only know nightwing’s bright blue escrima.

this is one of my favourite things about heroes with exceptional abilities, even more so if the hero is human. the things they can do are so far beyond the realm of normal human abilities that it’s equal parts terrifying and awe-inspiring every time they act.

he just used modified grappling wires to hook to the door of a moving helicopter, swung around the helicopter safely without hitting the blades, gained exactly the right momentum to swing upward again right through the opening of helicopter, then fought and tied up the men before they had any idea what was happening. that’s near impossible to do.

it’s stuff like this where i just sort of sigh in contentment. no matter how many times they leave out dick’s detective skills or conveniently forget that he’s actually a master planner and team leader and make him out to be this forgetful dude who makes everything up on the fly because of his “circus roots,” at least they won’t ever take away dick’s sheer physical ability honed to perfection. 

the art, too! in a few panels, dick’s drawn a little lightened or blurred. he’s moving so quickly and fighting so efficiently that he can barely be seen by the enemy. he’s got perfect form all the way through.

and THIS!

there was a helicopter that had five men shooting at him with what looks like machine guns. most people would be dead. some would run away, and be nimble enough to survive without fatal hits. there are very few people, even in fucking comic books, who can look at that hopeless situation and turn it around so quickly and thoroughly that he benefits from it instead.

i just. love nightwing.

it was funny the first time as a comic reader aware of the meme. it’s really not anymore. why the hell would you, in universe, be wearing a shirt that has a picture of your boyfriend being hit in the face by his father. 

okay that was funny. 

look at lil bitewing, so concerned for her human!!! love her sm. 

also a question as to the timeline of things. is nightwing happening before or after urban legends? 

i was so distracted by dick wearing a robe and briefs and nothing else that i didn’t register the second part until later. he slept for two days?? babs, baby, he recently had a very traumatic brain injury. why do you sound so nonchalant?

@TIM X COFFEE SHIPPERS GET FUCCCCKKKKEEDDDDD

ngl i totally forgot about that dude oops

this comic is giving so many reaction pictures. you know how you always use the worst possible picture of your friend for your friend’s contact picture? i’m just getting so many of these.

leslie!!! the titans!!! lucius!!! dick going to go see old friends!!!! the titans!!! this part made me so irrationally happy it really did. gar being the one to just. offer dick solutions with open arms. this was the best

i wish i could just copy and paste this entire scene, but that would take up way too much space, so i’m just going to talk about it instead. 

you gave me my name, nightwing, and you gave me some of the best advice i’ve received in my life: beautiful little throwback to nightwing’s origin. you’d be surprised at the amount of people who don’t know where the name came from, or who don’t know how much clark means to dick. and the fact that dick still looks up to clark as a hero, recognizes that clark isn’t always perfect and yet continues to hold him in such high esteem, and still looks back on advice that clark gave him fondly just warmed my heart so much.

for a man who has fearlessly stood up to darkseid, bruce will do a lot to avoid a conversation: “grrr. i’m the BATMAN. i’m so DARK and MYSTERIOUS. nobody knows the true me. no one ever will. i will be LONELY for the rest of my CURSED LIFE. such is the price of a hero. ignore my farmer himbo husband in the background”

but i don’t think there’s anything heroic about being a billionaire: another nod to how much dick follows clark’s example rather than bruce. yes, this was a very poignant and important criticism, and i think it’s wonderful that this was published in a pretty popular comic book. but the thing is, there is a way to be a heroic billionaire, but only in fictional universes. the way bruce, ollie, t’challa only ever use their wealth to help people. they donate massive amounts of money to charities that they themselves create so they know exactly how the money is being used. they hire people who aren’t likely to get jobs anywhere else and pay them much more than what a base living wage is. they use their power to help push progressive laws and social change. they are helping. 

dick doesn’t fully see it that way. he spent more than half his childhood the son of a billionaire, but still believes that one could be more heroic when one doesn’t have obscene amounts of wealth. whose example do you think he followed to come to that conclusion?

superman looked up to alfred pennyworth?: i mean yea alfred may have been a wildly irresponsible guardian and one hell of an enabler but goddamn if he didn’t love his kid.

you don’t need my input. you’ve thought it all through: ooooooh this line made me grin. for so long, dick’s treated clark as a mentor and a guiding figure. he’s still seen as a kid, an up and coming, snot-nosed titan with dreams of a better world. clark still thinks of him as a kid, despite watching him grow up. but this little line was something i think dick needed sorely to hear. he doesn’t need anyone’s guiding hand on his shoulder, he doesn’t need to ask for permission. he doesn’t need clark to support him the way he did when he was a teenager. he’s all grown up now, and he doesn’t need clark’s help. i imagine it was a bit of a surprise for dick to hear that. 

honestly, i couldn’t think of a better role model: ohhh but it doesn’t stop there. clark just straight up turns the tables on dick. imagine you’re dick, and you’ve looked up to this one hero your entire life, and then one day he turns to you and says that he thinks you’re so kind and smart and worthy of a person that he wants you to mentor his son!? goes to show just how much clark trusts dick.

i swear to god dick probably cries every time he hears clark compliment him because bruce is so rare and sparing with his praise that clark giving him the slightest hint of approval is just a dopamine rush.

also, now deathstroke and superman have both asked nightwing to mentor their kids. the juxtaposition is fuckin hysterical. imagine either of their reactions when they realize what kind of company they’re with

lets talk colours for a second, because i absolutely adore how classic colour tropes have been subverted in this comic, and in this general run really.

warm tones have usually (usually, not always) been associated with light and comfort and friendship and,,,,,well,,,warmth. whereas cool tones are usually used to unsettle, or make a scene seem colder and put the reader on edge. this varies if a comic only uses cool tones, or only uses warm tones, but if a comic uses both, this is generally well-used.

that isn’t the case in this run.

dark red, orange, and other warm tones have been used to symbolize danger, action, attacks. hot pink isn’t usually included in this colour group, but it’s definitely part of it in this case. in contrast, scenes that have cool colours give us the impression of slipping into a comfortable, calm scene with babs, tim, the titans, and other allies. even the beginning scene with superman has this blue, but then it transitions into something more golden coloured. dawn broke over dick, as his new idea came to light, and that was reflected in the art (and the sunrise setting.)

have there ever been times when dick’s longed for the comfort of his mask because he didn’t feel confident as dick grayson? i can’t think of any. i may be wrong, but this struck me as pretty ooc.

am i just??? gay and reading this all wrong??

cause i was under the impression that when someone says they are grateful for your friendship you don’t immediately kiss them. 

or is this like. normal straight mating rituals.

i mean he’s smiling afterward but still babs aren’t you supposed to at least make sure it’s okay first? you guys broke up a while back after you said something along the lines of “i want to be coworkers with you and nothing more because i don’t trust you or feel comfortable around you as a civilian anymore.” like lmao after you say something like that to someone i would assume that you don’t have the permission to just kiss them whenever you want.

show of hands who else got real sad when they realized dick was talking about himself in this.

sure, he could be referencing the things he’s seen blockbuster pull, and the children on the streets. but “i’ve seen money used for enforcement,” sounds a little too close to dick’s entire life being destroyed by one man threatening the circus to pay protection money for me to completely ignore. and “i’ve seen the poorest and most vulnerable blamed and punished rather than assisted” becomes a lot worse when you remember dick was thrown in juvie for a couple months until bruce was able to obtain legal guardianship, and in there, not a authority figure believed him when he told them his parents were murdered.

he’s lived this before.

a. mother. fucking. typo.

fucking why

i mean i’ve stated my distaste for the batfamily groupchat before but like. this is reaching new levels of ridiculousness. jason sounds like he was written by a fanfic writer. tim sounds like he was written by a fanfic writer. steph sounds like she was written by someone who doesn’t know the first thing about steph and wanted to include her for “family points!!!!!” damian’s supposed to be completely off the grid, and everyone’s searching for him. i do love the way cass texts tho.

well god fuck now i’m crying

dick got a phone call, a sorry, and a thank you out of bruce. i feel so much secondhand happiness for him, if that’s a thing. we’ll just ignore the way bruce looks ugly af and focus on the good parts okay?

and again with the colour symbolism here!

i’m either going to love this or hate this. who knows, we’ll see.

something something hearts something something pink is an evil colour something something. i need to know more about this guy but there’s definitely symbolism there. 

is it just me or does this dude look like the backstabbing traitorous absolutely motherfucking piece of shit villain that killed tadashi hamada in big hero 6?

ABC Tag

I was tagged by @pbj-anonymous! rules: answer the questions and tag some cool people

(For those of you I tagged, you def don’t have to read this but just know you’ve been tagged at the end of the post...!)

a - age: 28

b - biggest fear: It’s a toss-up between losing my independence and dying while leaving behind important, unfinished work (important to me anyway). Okay, that’s a lie. Fear of death wins out. I like this world we live in. I don’t want to leave it anytime soon.

c - current time: 11:07 AM (this post has been queued)

d - drink you last had: Water (gag, I hate drinking plain water)

f - favorite song: How could I ever choose just one?!

g - ghosts, are they real: I don’t believe in the presence of ghosts in the sense that they’re the lingering souls of the departed, or manifestations thereof. I don’t truly believe any part of us remains behind when we leave this world (besides, you know, our decomposing bodies. There’s your gross, vivid imagery for the day, you’re welcome).

I do, however, believe in the existence of the supernatural, and in the presence of spirits we often cannot see all around us and even at times residing and working in us. Specifically, hostile, demonic spirits. It both frightens me and intrigues me. I’ve drifted away from the idea and don’t think about it much these days, but it’s hard not to have at least a fragile belief in it if you were raised in the religious household I was. My father was a minister outside of his 9-5 and his favorite aspect of the ministry was “deliverance,” i.e,. casting demons out of people.

It’s rare that this comes up in conversation (for good reason!), but when it does it’s always fun to see how people react when I casually mention that in my younger years my dad was, for all intents and purposes-- though I hate to use this term-- an exorcist. lol

A, B, C, D, E, F, G... (omg I just realized there’s no E!) Putting the rest behind a Read More.

h - hometown: Lil’ town in Texas that’s not so little anymore.

i - in love with: Things and people that inspire

j - jealous of: People who are able to spend money without a care (as long as they do so within their means of course). It’s not the money I envy, it’s the mindset.

k - killed someone: Wow, what a question. Here’s the deal. I’ve never killed a person, and I hope to God I never do, but I will say I’ve given it a good deal of thought. EXCLUSIVELY FOR SELF DEFENSE PURPOSES, I might add. Let’s be real, simply by virtue of being a woman in this wonderful yet treacherous world of ours, it’s probably not the worst thing to devote some serious consideration to: preserving your own life by being willing to take someone else’s if they are in the act of doing you harm. I cannot express how sincerely I hope I never find myself in a situation where it comes to that. But let’s face it, much as I love this world it ain’t all sunshine and roses. We are vulnerable.

My roomie and I were in a situation last year where I thought it prudent to mentally prepare myself for this, at the time, very real possibility. When you’ve got a strange man coming to your windows late at night repeatedly throughout the summer, you start to wonder at his intentions. And when the local police dept steps up its game and assigns a detective to the case without your asking, citing concerns that it could be a sex crime waiting to happen... you start keeping that handgun of yours within reach. Just in case.

Believe me, entertaining the idea of hurting another person at all, let alone in such an irrevocable way... it’s never pleasant. It never should be. But I’m the type who tends toward careful, calculated moves, and the last thing I wanted to risk was freezing up in the heat of the moment should that moment ever arrive, so I fired up my imagination and ran through a medley of gruesome what-if mental scenarios in the hopes that I’d be ready. I mean, I’m sure nothing ever truly prepares you for something like that, but... I do what I can.

l - last time you cried: Honestly can’t remember. Might have been back in January when I was writing Bright Like the Sun and found myself unexpectedly thinking up various scenarios about how the guys’ lives come to that inevitable end (why, brain, why). I’m going to cry again just thinking about it! Wtf why is this post so focused on death?!

m - middle name: Let’s skip this one. ;) I like my middle name, but I recently shared my first, so...

n - number of siblings: 2 brothers. I’m the middle child.

o - one wish: No regrets

p - person you last called/texted: My dear mother

q - question(s) you’re always asked: “So how’d you get into taxidermy?” Every other new customer that comes through the door asks me this, and I still have yet to find a concise way to sum it up. It’s been a long and winding journey.

r - reasons to smile: We live in a world of endless opportunity... Opportunity for learning, creating, sharing, growing...

s - song last played: Daesung’s Utautai no Ballad off his D’scover album, yesterday evening in my car.

t - time you woke up: Around 5:30 AM

u - underwear color: Black

v - vacation destination: My family and I are trying to plan a trip to Ireland? It’s been kind of hectic.

w - worst habit: Keeping people at arm’s length? Being physically and emotionally distant? Compartmentalizing everyone I meet then keeping the lids firmly shut, refusing to let them migrate out of one box and into another? (lol too heavy, I know. This whole post is so inappropriate.)

x - x-rays you’ve had: Dental, one for my foot when I stepped on a roof nail as a kid, and one for my back while in college-- and that’s how I learned I had a healed fracture from when I had fallen off my horse a couple years prior!

y - your favorite food: IDK, but I can eat a lot of sushi and not get tired of it (though it sounds unappetizing, I thought convenience store sushi during my visit to Japan last year was pretty great).

z - zodiac sign: Gemini

ey ey ey I was tagged by @prowaterdrinker helloooooo!

1. your all time favorite bl and why

I'm going to say Cherry Magic, for that sweet sweet acearo rep, for the softness, the awkwardness, the L O V E the personal growth oh god

2. that one bl that scarred you for life

oh um, none that I can think of? I've been pretty good about avoiding stuff I know I won't like. Let's take this a funny way, I'll say Manner of Death because I was DEEPLY scarred watching the detective try to sit in those tight pants is he alright

3. is there any bl that made you feel very single?

uwma DEAR GOD mhm.

4. if you could change one thing from a bl, which one would it be?

The whole, I'm not gay I just like you thing. LET THEM BE OPENLY QUEER PLEASE. The look of terror when they kiss (if they kiss). Loads really, there's a lot of toxic stuff around you need to doge.

5. that one bl you detest (don’t hold back)

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. let me think...I don't know if detest is the right word but I didn't like We Best Love: Fighting Mr 2nd which is unfortunate. Also, A Chance to Love, dropped that real quick it didn't sit right for me. (Controversial opinion maybe but I had mixed feelings about ITSAY please don't hurt me)

6. your top five

F U C K okay

Cherry Magic, UWMA, History 3: Trapped, Manner of Death, The Untamed (it doesn't count but IT DOES OKAY SHUT UP)

7. that trashy bl that you lowkey like

Oh uuuuuum, I don't know

8. your favorite korean bl (it’s important we know)

You Make Me Dance

I will do what I must to save L's life. I can not let him die to sate Light's desires to be God of the so-called new world.

He will be brought to justice, and the relationship between L and I will flourish into something beautiful.

Dear Detective;

It's a new day and my thoughts are still so fixated on you. I try to push them away but they push back, so I've decided to accept it and let the thoughts continue as our love grows in secret. You have become a big part of my heart and I wanted you to know that.

Sincerely,

A mystery author.

[ignited-lovers]

Dear detective, I'm thinking about you and I love you.

[ignited-lovers]

Dear Detective;

Our first encounter was unexpected; a typical crowded room. Such a strange place for you of all people to be, that much I gathered from your demeanor, and your mannerisms as you attempted to separate yourself from the crowd.

You were there to pick something up, and clearly hadn't called in advance, and all I needed was my tea to get me through my morning in the office. I remember getting to the counter, placing my order and paying for it, receiving the cup moments later, but not before I glanced over and our eyes met.

I smiled and I swore I saw your cheeks flush when you looked away, thumb sitting idly against your lower lip as you cast your gaze to the floor. It was... Cute.

Truthfully, I didn't think too much of it, I just knew I wanted to see you again, though I did feel it was a one-off and that would be the end.

How wrong I was.

Sincerely,

A mystery author.

[ignited-lovers]

Dear Detective;

My feelings continue to grow, the love I feel for you becoming immeasurable by any means. No matter what I do, my thoughts seem to gravitate to you. I try to deny my feelings, especially with the distance between us and having to keep our identities secret for the safety of your life, and mine too. However, my truth is that I love you, and I need you to know that.

Sincerely,

A mystery author.

[ignited-lovers]

I refuse to watch my dear detective die before work... I absolutely will not! But I will however sit here and plot my dear detective's enemy's demise because fuck that guy!
