Spoilers for Nightwing #50/69 and Joker War

I was reminded of this during my re-read of Tom Taylor's Nightwing. But anyone else just a little annoyed so many people seemingly forgot Dick's amnesia and Ric Grayson wasn't from KGBeast?

I mean, yes, the bullet in his head definitely didn't help and it was the catalyst for essentially everything that happened after, but it wasn't the actual cause for his prolonged memory issues-- it was Dr. Isabella Haas, the doctor who had been treating his brain injury since Day 1 who oops was actually a member of the Court of Owls with access to a magical crystal that could warp someone's sense of identity (Nightwing #69). Yeah that might be important.

"I built a new you inside your mind, Richard." I don't know about you, but with an admission like that, it seems pretty clear to me who's responsible here.

But then I see so many comments like "I'll never forgive KGBeast for Ric Grayson" and ??? Literally the moment Dick gets a hold of that crystal and uses it, his memories return to him. This was 100% a Court of Owls thing. And I thought this misconception was only fandom at first, but Tom Taylor totally glosses over this too in Nightwing #91.

Hello? I know Joker War didn't get the best reception, but we're ignoring some pretty significant context here! And if you know Nightwing, then you know just how important he is to the Court of Owls. Gray Son of Gotham anyone? There was a whole prophecy about him. The Court has been after him for years. But yeah sure, let's just throw that away and put all the blame on KGBeast.

everyone pretend this is good ok? Ok

Cinder: I don't understand why you would choose to follow a leader who doesn't respect you. Doesn't care about you.

Jaune: She does care about me.

Cinder: Does she? She has her one rule, doesn't she? The one that she stands by no matter what? "Do not kill." And yet, I'm still alive, despite the countless bodies that lead back to her decision, her choice to keep me alive.

Cinder: And there's you; another straggler caught up in her own little war that you never asked for. A war she dragged you into.

Jaune: ...You know what I think, Cinder? I think you're desperate. All these attempts you make to get her attention, and why? To be her friend? Her lover? Let's face it, you love Ruby, and you can't bear the thought of living without her.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Jaune: IT'S SO PATHETIC!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Cinder: Stop it. Stop laughing. You don't get to laugh at me!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Cinder: Shut up! SHUT UP! STOP LAUGHING! STOP LAUGHING!
