Andrew Minyard better than me fr because if my blue eyed situationship said "thank you, you were amazing" to me after I gave 110% at a fucking stickball game and then immediately gets kidnapped by his serial killer dad he conveniently forgot to tell me about, and I had to learn that my codependent worstie knew the whole time through "gentle persuasion"...
I'd be on the news.
Thinking about all the heroes that little Grayson gave baby fever to as Robin
A while ago, I decided to watch every single animated DC movie and rank and review them. I’ve watched about 20 of them so far and I have all my reviews sitting in my notes app.
I dont think he wants help Bruce…
Funniest fandoms are where the fans are like, "I'm obsessed with this. I don't recommend it even slightly."
How long is DC planning on pretending they’re not going to bring Alfred back. Like you guys never keep people dead, don’t start now. It’s been like 5 years
i loveee watching my friends go through different interests and gain new favorite characters... like yes girl when can i meet your 17th wife whens the wedding and am i invited
Dick Grayson is not a player. Dick Grayson is not a player. Dick Grayson does NOT sleep around, that is unfaithful to him and his morals which he has iterated multiple times in CANON.
BEING ATTRACTIVE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY WARRANT HIM BEING PORTRAYED AS A MAN SLUT.
EDIT: Also, while I’m out here dissolving bullshit misconceptions about Dick Grayson, can everyone PLEASE get on the same page with the fact that him cheating on Kori with B*rbara is NO LONGER CANON. It was RETCONNED because it was such bullshit.
This guy legit had issues with being with his own girlfriend while she had a political loveless marriage with a man on Tamaran. Despite Dick being in love with her, and Kori with Dick, he respects marriage that deeply. So yeah nah, let that purely OOC and non-canon storyline GO. Kori has always been the only woman for him, but that’s another argument altogether. My point is though that he would NEVER cheat on that woman who he loves so fucking deeply.

I think I recall Nora saying that Andrew and Neil wouldn’t get married but imagine this. They get married at a courthouse with Kevin as their witness. They don’t keep it a secret or anything, it just never got brought up.
Matt: Are you and Andrew planning on getting married anytime soon?
Neil: We’re already married.
Matt: haha funny, I’m serious
Neil: Me too, we got married last August at the courthouse. Kevin was our witness.
Matt: WAIT WHAT?????? WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL US
Neil: You never asked.
Bruce has always masked his worry as anger, especially back in the 90s/early 2000s. I saw that moment as both him giving Dick some tough love but also him being extremely concerned about Dick and didn’t know how to express or even process it really. I suppose it’s easier to be pissed then to think “Oh shit, I’ve watched my son go through a depressive spiral for months and I haven’t done anything and now he almost got himself killed”
If only Bruce knew how to healthily process emotions 😔
Dick Grayson really gets the OC treatment in Nightwing (1996) and what I mean by the OC treatment is: “Just how much trauma can I put this character through”
Let’s go through the list
- First he decides to become a cop to take down the corruption of the police force; he basically swears off of sleep. He’s fighting crime during the day, he’s fighting crime at night. There is no time for this man to sleep.
- He actually ends up loving this job and even though he planned on quitting once the BPD got fixed, he stays. Just when he’s happy BAM! He gets fired after his boss and former partner learns about his identity
- Barbara breaks up with him
- Blockbuster learns his secret identity and decides to make his life a living hell
- He burns down Haly’s circus
- He blows up Dick’s apartment building, killing a good chunk of the supporting cast
- He’s pretty much homeless after this and sleeps on a fire escape using newspapers as a blanket and pillow
- Blockbuster threatens to kill everyone he knows. Literally. He says that if Dick so much as shakes someone’s hand, he’ll kill them
- He’s so severely fucked up about this he lets Tarantula kill Blockbuster
- She then SAs him (and it’s literally NEVER addressed??)
- Dick can’t handle the guilt and pretty much becomes passively suicidal.
- He has so much trauma and PTSD from this entire thing that Tim, Alfred and Barbara all mention something about him losing his spark
- He turns himself in but his former boss/partner gets himself out by saying he’s undercover
- Then he joins the mob???
- He pretty much pushes everyone away
- Then Death Stroke drops a chemo bomb on Blüdhaven
- Despite knowing that it’ll kill him, Nightwing continues to go into the wreckage to save as many ppl as he can.
- He passes out and is saved by Batman who takes him back to the Cave. He then gives him some tough love and talks to him about his suicidal tendencies
And that’s all I got because I haven’t finished the run yet but JESUS they put this poor guy through the wringer.
