I hope Tiger and Raptor meet at one point.

Also what's up with his name? I know he's got like a Raptor claw but everything else he has is bird themed and you could even get away with calling his claw a bird claw
>>
>>85112292
"Raptor"can be used to refer to birds of prey.

That meeting would be 2good

Man, Seeley was brutal in this issue, which is great. He's probably venting about all the people that complained about not wanting to read Grayson because Dick wasn't Nightwing in it.

You know? It feels like Dick dropped a few levels in between Nightwing Rebirth and this issue. Isn't there a way to make Raptor seem like a valid thread without making Dick feel subordinate to him?

I think you've forgotten how Nightwing books work, they function mainly to show Dick being used as a punching bag.
>>

>I think you've forgotten how Nightwing books work, they function mainly to show Dick being used as a punching bag.
Of course I remember.
I let myself get lured in and misled by Seeley, because he and King gave Dick enough crowning moments of awesome in Grayson that his losses felt balanced.

The Nightwing curse is real.

Why do only Wolfman and Pererz get credit for Nightwing. Shouldn't Dick's creators be accredited as well?
>>
>>85112542
Going back to Nightwing was a step back for the character so it makes sense he dropped some levels. I think that is one of the points Seeley is trying to make.

I haven't been keeping up with DC as of late, can anybody explain to me if this Nightwing is new 52 or new earth Nightwing?

What is the point of Rebirth anyway? I didn't read the original rebirth titles.
>>
>>85113330
It's still nu52.
Dick just went back to being Nightwing after being a spy for a couple of years.

Rebirth is a way for DC to reintroduce pre-Flashpoint characters back into the universe.
The story is that someone has been fucking with the universe and with time itself, making everything grim and edgy. And apparently it has something to do with Dr Manhattan from Watchmen. But now the nu52 characters are aware of it, so they'll somehow fight it and reintroduce happiness and love into the DC universe.
>>
>>85113330
New 52.
It's continuing New 52 and DC You, but it's basically turning them into pre-Flashpoint DC.

It's amazing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_of_prey

>Birds of prey, also known as raptors, hunt and feed on other animals. The term "raptor" is derived from the Latin word rapere (meaning to seize or take by force).[1] These birds are characterized by keen vision that allows them to detect prey during flight and powerful talons and beaks.

OP you really need to start putting the book's title in the subject field if you're going to do them all. Harder to search in the archive without it (like basically you'd have to put nightwing in the image filename field and limit it to OPs but most of /co/ is probably too dumb to figure that out)

AAAAAND we're back to continuity problems. So, this clearly takes place between Batman 1-3, before today's issue neutralizes at least one of the Gotham twins - but we have no clue where Detective Comics fits into that...like...I love you, Seeley, you and your wonderful "BUY ALL DC COMICS PLAYSETS AND TOYS" plugs for other titles, but c'mon, are they really necessary?

I already figured Tec, Batman, and Nightwing where kind of happening at the same time for them to all lead into Orlando's crossover. Unless you expected the crossover to happen more abruptly and not naturally flow through their plots I guess? I don't know.

What gets me is that if it's happening in the present that means Babs already did her traveling Asia thing so it seems odd that she would travel again only because he reminded her of it.

NIGHTWING #7

(W) Seeley (A/CA) Javi Fernandez (CA) Ivan Reis, Joe Prado
“RISE OF RAPTOR” part one! The Parliament of Owls wasn’t brought to justice like Raptor promised Nightwing-it was eliminated! Raptor’s methods have crossed the line and Nightwing goes to apprehend him. Upon his arrival he discovers Raptor’s true intentions and obsessions…

And now is a perfect time to reread this all. Thanks, anon.

All I'm really wondering is, well, what exactly is Seeley's message here? It feels a little like Grayson #11, in that it completely deconstructs Dick's character so that Seeley can build him back up, it's just not as harsh or heartbreaking.

It also feels like he's just enjoying taking a shit on the "muh Nightwing" fans, too. I kinda like that he's doing that.
>>
>>85135474
Yeah I was thinking he's deconstructing the character in a more humorous way cause he does seem to be poking fun of people who didn't care about Grayson cause of the name and costume
>>
>>85115740
>but because it sold incredibly well

I'd say it's more likely because it didn't sell that well post-Convergence/DCYou.
>>
>>85135998
It did though, stayed in the 30ks with the other A-list books despite the price increase to 3.99 and didn't dramatically drop until Rebirth was announced and the creative team left.
>>
>>85136083
>stayed in the 30ks
Not bad.
>>
>>85136083
Well, everything sold poorly with DC You. Grayson was selling just below bigger titles like Green Lantern

>shark attractant

this book is fantastic
>>
>>85135474
It's meta commentary about how Nightwing brand sucks

Seeley's probably read all of his solos and he's noticed some things most of them have in common, like Dick pining after Barbara, and now he is tearing into it
No doubt he's putting out some frustration over MUH NIGHTWING fans though and that he's gonna try to build Dick back up by bringing more Grayson elements into the book
>>
>>85135998
The trades sold well. It seems like some DC You stuff looks better commercially in retrospect once you take some other things into account.
>>
So I heard /co/ hype this and decided to pick up the rebirth issue. I didn't understand shit and the characters seemed bland.

Why is it hyped? I've never pulled a batfamily book before (I also got batman rebirth and 1-4 today).

Seems like background on the court of owls is required.
>>
>>85144655
>Seems like background on the court of owls is required
Not really

>I didn't understand shit and the characters seemed bland
Almost everything in the rebirth issue is from Grayson, so of course you missed all that made the characters and their interactions interesting. Hopefully, Seeley will use them in this Nightwing run, so even those who haven't read Grayson can appreciate them
>>
>>85144726
>Not really
All the rebirth issue spoke about was the court of owls and some agency he worked for.
>>
>>85144833
All you need to know is that they're a bad society. I never read anything with them and I understood it fine.

>While you're bringing Dick back to the costume and a lot of the traditional trappings of the character, it's still not 100% back to where it was before Forever Evil. What went into the decision to still have him be Grayson, Mark II, almost?

>I definitely felt like a Gotham-based Dick Grayson as Nightwing...I had seen that sort of story enough times, and I felt like the reader, maybe, had to, and that there was more we could do with it.

>If there's one thing I really learned from Grayson, it was the things that we added to the character that really worked. One of those was the idea that Dick grew up in a circus and he's not someone who is specifically tied to any city. He spent a lot of time in Gotham, obviously, and he has a lot of ties there, but he's not as Gotham-centric as Batman and never really was. Including in his new story that ability to run him around the world and have him have these globe hopping adventures was definitely something I wanted to carry over.

>That doesn't mean that he won't settle into places or come back to Gotham, but it just seemed like it would be a waste not to use that aspect to continue to tell cool stories and scenarios with Dick.
>>
>>85148533
>I really liked what you guys did with Helena during the Grayson series. It was just one of those bits that, when I first saw the Rebirth stuff, and she was nowhere to be seen in promotional art, I was like, "man, I hope that character doesn't just fade back into oblivion because Grayson is over."

>She is my favorite part that we put into Grayson, for sure. Having the ladies pick her up and use her in Birds of Prey and use that iteration of her, combined with the old school super hero idea is so cool. I think they're doing some awesome stuff with it.

>It just seemed like it would be a waste not to use that relationship. It was interesting, there's a lot of tension to it. It was a different version of their relationship than what we had seen in the past years, and I thought, We'll definitely come back to that as one of Dick's allies slash frenemies slash love interest and mine that for more great story stuff.
>>
>>85148579
As far as I know, I don't anybody who responded really badly to your take on that character. Is there a formula, do you think, that makes people more willing to accept change in some characters than others? Obviously, there have been some characters in the Post-Flashpoint DC Universe where, they were handled really well, but people just weren't having the change.

I think part of it is, before ... I don't know how other people approach this with stuff. It's such a weird job to be like ... I don't know what other industry one could possibly be like, Here, you're given this 50-75 year old character and you're to reinvent them, but you need make them likable to new fans and old fans. I don't know what other job has that parallel. One of the things I always do is, before I take on the job of reinventing a character, I sit down with bunch of the material and read through it. I really try to think about what is the most interesting and relevant parts of that character's history, and then what's the most interesting parts of their personality, and then put that through the filter of whatever new thing I'm going to hopefully add to it.

In her case, the coolest part about her was that she was this really ... She was one of the original bad-ass female characters. She was kind of dark, she was a vigilante and as hard edged as Batman, but a woman, in a time when that probably wasn't traditionally done. The original creators of that character did such a good job that I wanted to just slightly update that and put it into a new context. I think, if you do that, you keep the soul of the character there and really understand the context of the character in the larger world and in the DC Universe ... I think you do okay.
>>
>>85148624
>Obviously, the Court of Owls involvement I think leads to surrounding Dick with people who are more overtly evil, I guess, than ... During Grayson, there were these nefarious organizations, but not every person who was in the organization was bad. I feel like, with the Court of Owls it's much more traditionally ... It's like H.I.V.E. or Hydra or something like that. I almost feel like there's just nobody he's going to be surrounded with that you can trust and that you don't want to punch.

>That's one thing we immediately play with in the story. I think issue 2 does a lot towards that. You're exactly right. Dick being in Spyral -- Spyral was basically a gray organization, and the story there was a guy who was traditionally very black and white and a very morally good guy placed in that situation. That was the whole story of Grayson.

>The story of this new Nightwing run has to be different than that. This is a case of Dick having to take what he's learned from that experience and move it into a new scenario. Really, it's about his relationship with this new guy who, though he may not be the traditional that Dick has been taught by, a guy like Batman, that he may have something to teach.

>That's, maybe, one of the possible symbolic meetings for the "Better than Batman" title, and that's one of the ways I think this story is different than Grayson. This is not about Dick navigating that organization and trying to fit in. We know Dick is not going to be cool with the Parliament of Owls, they're bad guys, so the story is not about that. We're going to see, obviously, that Dick wants to take them apart. It's how he does that or what he learns from that that becomes the story of this start of Nightwing.
>>
>>85148650
>Even as early as when you guys made the announcement for Nightwing, you were on that stage at the convention and just gleefully enjoying the inevitable cascade of boos from the title "Better than Batman." At what point in the development of this first story arc were you like, Yeah, that could be a fun thing to play with?

>It was definitely early when we were trying to figure out a new ... Who would be this foil for Dick in our first arc. We wanted to make a bad guy for Dick Grayson that I hadn't seen done exactly before. The only other time I've seen this ... Obviously, he's been around for 75 years, so a lot of things have been done with the character. There was a relationship that he had with Deathstroke in some of the previous stories that I thought was interesting.

>That's actually the parallel that I was going to draw next.

>The idea that Deathstroke had something to offer him as a teacher, but that clearly Deathstroke was a bad guy was something I thought was really interesting. The idea was, how do we do that, but do a very different dynamic? Deathstroke came in as a Teen Titans character, and that he was...the level of morally gray that he was. He was this honorable assassin.

>I wanted to do, with Raptor, is something different. It will hopefully pick up some of those beats and use what I thought was so interesting about that relationship but add a personal aspect to it and challenge the reader not to agree with some of the things that Raptor believes in. A lot of what he says, though it will totally fly in the face of the things that Batman teaches or believe in, will make a lot of sense.
>>
>>85148679
>Going off that last point, do you think that when you introduce a character like Raptor that it's really helpful to you to have it be an original character that you can develop fully? Obviously, when you bring in Helena, there's expectations there. With a character like Raptor, I feel like you can do stuff that you can't do with Deathstroke because there's baggage and expectations and all that kind of stuff that comes on the part of the audience.

>Absolutely, that's part of the job, and maybe the toughest part of the job, is adding to the mythos with something valuable and with something that will last. You hope that that's something that you're able to do. The challenge of Raptor was, obviously, to figure out a lot of what's worked before, but to give the readers a satisfying story with something completely that we haven't seen before. I hope it worked.

>I think what we came up with for his relationship to Dick and why he does what he does is pretty cool. I hope readers dig it as much as they liked his relationship with a character like Deathstroke in the past, or his relationship with Batman right now.

Seeley seems genuinely excited to attack some of the old Nightwing trappings and bring some new elements to the mythos.

In a lot of ways I feel like Grayson was a rebirth before Rebirth. And I don't think Seeley and King got enough credit for it. They gave Dick a lot that had been taken by New52 but in a holistic way.

Excited to see where this book goes in the next few arcs
>>
>>85152883

Grayson and Batgirl led the way yo. just took the rest of DC time to catch up
>>
>>85152883
I've got high hopes for this as well. Seeley really nails Dick's voice and understands the problems that have plagued past Nightwing runs

Anyone care to speculate on Raptor?
I think we are going to get a mix of Slade and Cobb
>>
>>85152818
oh dear
>>
>>85153514
something like Slade, but less of an unstoppable fighter and more of a slippery eel who keeps getting away
>>
>>85112064
>brand extension of batman
Between this and his mocking of Dick/Babs I think I'm relating to Raptor more than I should.
>>
>>85153586
Yeah I'm half expecting cat fights
>>
>>85153654
Seeley seems to be poking fun at the Grayson situation in general, people for and against it
>>
>>85153514
More like a mix of Adam West Batman and Jean Loring if this issue and the future solicits are accurate
>>
>>85112292
oh shit, I just realized
Night of the Monster Men is the perfect opportunity to call Midnighter for backup, seeing how he specializes in that area.
Based Orlando
>>
>>85153801
That sounds like a fun mix. I know Seeley said Raptor is going to have an outfit for every occasion so that should make for some fun visuals
>>
>>85153694
Do you think we'll get another scene where Dick sleeps with Helena and calls Babs immediately afterward?
>>
>>85154368
No
It will happen while they're boning this time
>>
>>85141844
Sounds great.

>Writing some Dick Grayson for the first time in a while. Like getting back on a very sexy bike.

Guessing it's just part of the crossover?
>>
>>85154718
That or he shows up next arc

>>85154718
Isn't Orlando actually writing the crossover?
>>
>>85155464
co-writing with all the other regular writers.
>>
>>85155530
No he's writing the whole thing but the regular writers are consulting so the beats they are developing don't get blown up too badly
>>
>>85155292
Could be a setup scene before the Orlando stuff, or a closing scene after it I guess. With the double-shipping I'm not sure how far ahead they're writing.
>>
>>85156251
Pretty far ahead I would guess
>>
>>85154718
Will it be Janin Dick?

Honestly? It explains why he reacted at the pre-order numbers announcement the way he did.

Spoonfed me, what are you referring to here?
>>
>>85160249
I dunno if this is what that anon is talking about, but some LCS said on twitter that Nightwing pre orders were higher than Grayson. Seeley was ambivalent about it, because on one hand, yay more sales and people reading my shit, but on the other hand, oh branding and people not caring about Dick because he didn't have the right name or outfit
>>
>>85160821
Thanks. Costume or not people should enjoy good Dick. I hope Seeley succeeds in "fixing" Nightwing.
