The end. Hope everyone enjoyed.
This arc has potential, let's see if Seeley can deliver

Hmm, gotta say, I'm liking this a lot more than Batman.

>>87068391
Wait, does Bruce talk about Damian ? What does he become ? I thought Bruce had forget he ever has a son.

>>87068470
I like that Raptor's whole "Batman you're just SOCIETY man." shtick is just presented as being full of so much shit.

because man he is full of so much shit.

>>87068483

Well, they did team up in Deathstroke, where Damian was kidnapped. And now in this issue of Nightwing, Batman has been kidnapped. Funny how things work out that way.

>>87068468
Damn,mom looks nice.

>>87068468
So Raptor was once friendzoned by Dick's mom. Great. End of the story.

>>87068489
Absolutely this, I'm loving Raptor.

Nightwing continues to meh

>>87068468
>>87068512
Well, it's that or he's family. I'm kinda hoping for family DESU.

>>87068518
Nah, this was great.

>>87068470
Well, Batman was just set up for a new arc. This issue is just about to hit its climax (and shouldn't have been interrupted by the crossover)

Great issue! The best so far from Seeley's Rebirth run.

>>87068529
It is not contradictory. After all, incest is wincest.

>>87068451
I-I just want a Dick and Damien team-up book so bad.

Raptor is one charming fucker. You kind of want to see his ass get beat, but at the same time, he's not a terrible person so you don't hate him either

>>87068573
Understandable but I have mostly been enjoying Seely's work here over King on Batman to be honest even before this issue.

>>87068483
>>87068502
It's really only the Snyder books where Batman forgets he has a son.

>>87068625
Well, Snyder is a hack after all who hates the Batfamily besides his very own pet characters he's trying to launch as the next big thing.

>>87068451
Damian is so tiny

>>87068671
Should he really be this tiny? He's suppose to be 13-years old.

>>87068625
He hasn't shown up in Tec, either. King hasn't used him yet, but he will in the next arc.

>>87068612
IDK that Bane sequence gave me chills just now.

>>87068391
>>87068408
>>87068427
I love how this character is just blowing out all the bullshit classism and conservatism inherent to superhero comics. I mean it's escapist fiction and they've obviously spent decades showing how Batman is a kind and generous billionaire, but at the end of the day it's still messed up when you look at like a real-world issue.

I definitely wasn't expecting this. Good job Seeley, I love it.

>>87068367
>>87068451
Damn, Dick was raped again.

>>87068380
>difficult for me to let him go
Are we seriously going through this again?

>>87068686
>but he will in the next arc
Huh? I thought Jason will be the one showing up next arc.

>>87068269
Fuck yeah, more Kobra.

>>87068698
I dunno I think Raptor's populism is pretty clearly an excuse for him to be a dickbag who does whatever he wants. People who say Batman focuses on mental patients ignore the fact that Bats has had it out for hardened criminals and gangsters over muggers and criminals of desperation since the 40s.

Like just because a guy says "eat the rich" does not mean he is a nice person or has a point he could just be tricking you by saying something you sympathize with.

>>87068367
Was it rape?

>>87068760
Kobra keeps popping up as this background menace in the Bat-books and I'm cool with it.

>>87068789
Yes, obviously.

>>87068778
Yes but even gangsters and muggers are a symptom of a larger problem. Batman has the means to build a power-suit to go off and punch the god of death till he gets his son back, but he doesn't address systemic social issues. Punch people in the face and fix the tax code. Use some prep-time to stop sweatshop labor and force stricter environmental regulations. Pour some of that Wayne fortune into improving the rotting infrastructure of middle America.

>>87068760
These Kobra mutates all started in Rucka's Checkmate book back when Mr. Terrific and Sasha Bordeaux ran the organization. If King and Seeley are bringing that back I would be sooooo happy.

>>87068333
>Raptor's theme
ahahahaha

>>87068468
Did Raptor fuck his mom?

>>87068246
>Nightwing created by Wolfman and Perez
I know they mean the identity of Nightwing rather than Dick himself, but it still feels wrong

>>87068934
They've been doing it for decades. And only on Nightwing books. They didn't give credit when Dick was Batman or Agent 37.

>>87068468
It's Snape all over again.
Raptor got KEKED hard

>>87068883
He's all about that brand recognition.

>>87069348
Based Raptor.

>>87068860
Batman can't actually fix anything because then the story would end.

>>87068789
Yes, but look at how Dick dresses: he was asking for it

>>87068468
So either Raptor is Dick's uncle or just a close friend of his mom.

>>87069440
>Dick's uncle
He wanted to fuck his sister?

>>87069531
It's always incest with you motherfuckers.

>>87069531
Why does it always have to be about fucking?

Uncle would be interesting, being a sad beta cuck who lost to John Grayson would be hilarious

>>87068246
What happened to Maxwell Lord?

Man, what happened to Javi Fernandez? He used to be better than this.

>>87069825
Muh deadlines.

>>87069549

Because that Anon is clearly a fucking beta cuck, naturally.

>>87068246
Man, I don't care how fucking trained Dick is, there is no way an ordinary human suvives a fall from that height to the concrete sidewalk

>>87068860
That sounds like a thrilling adventure book about a detective solving mysteries.

I mean for serious pretty much every time Batman pulls a batmobile or a mech or a power suit out of his ass that IS jobs since he's funneling that tech through Waynetech companies, even if the people think they're building spacecraft or boats or something. Like how many Batman story setups are Wayne foundation fundraisers or benefits or campaigns to clean up Gotham or otherwise establishing that Bruce Wayne spends a LOT of time doing just that, its just not the focus of the book because its an adventure book.

>>87068468
So his backstory is that Dick's dad made Raptor a cu/ck. Hilarious.

>>87068483
>>87068649
It's funny Batman's son only shows up in other books but never in Batman's.

>>87068483
Damian has not showing yet in the main book, so... it's a little confusing.

>>87068468
So, Dick's problem is that his whole family is too hot?

>>87070549
I know right? Fucking Red Hood is going to show up in Batman before Damian does. It is disgraceful.

>>87071342
King literally has no excuse other than he's kissing Snyder's ass.

We've come full circle New 52 begins with Tim fags throwing a bitchfit that he's been pushed to the outskirts of the Batline, now with Rebirth Damian ones whine every time someone who isn't Damian appears.

>>87071514
Well, at least Damifag can stop complaining about him not being in Batman.

>>87072214
This vicious cycle just won't end.

>>87068453
Javi's art is completely fine, his faces are just a little too scrunched.

>>87072214
The robins were a mistake

>>87071342
>It is disgraceful
Jason knew Batman before Damian even existed. So, not really.

>>87069961
Grapple line

>>87068304
C'mon Nightwing, be a bro for once in your life.

>>87069961
Dick done way crazier shit than that. The things Batman and Nightwing do require them to be way beyond the level of regular human beings.

>>87068346
>Gratuitous ass shot
HAHAHAHA

>>87071342
>Fucking Red Hood is going to show up in Batman before Damian does.
um no?

I hope they don't go with the cliche uncle route.

>>87068468
Fuck I'm loving this run so much. So great to see the Batfam showing up in each other's books. The reign of Snyder has truly come to an end.

>>87068792
I wonder if it's seeding some long running plot.

>>87068468
I wonder if Seeley will remember that Dick's Romani blood was supposed to come from his dad, not his mom.

>>87068313

>>87077148
If I recall correctly Grayson 12 was written by King

>>87077148
of course King wrote it.

>>87068302
Ugh, even brits know it's "titties" (only children or immature people actually say this word, though), or "tits" (acceptable for any age) for short. There is no d in this word.

>>87077148
Haven't you read Nightwing: Rebirth #1 and Damian's other appearances in Nightwing so far? Damian actually acts his age around Dick, because Dick is the only person he's comfortable with showing his true self to. He's just talking big because he's pissed his dad's been kidnapped.

>>87068320
He has a point, fuck Nightwing.

>>87078520
It does make sense that Damian would act even more like a kid, since he's spent his life raised by assassins, only now is getting a chance to have a childhood

>>87077277
>>87077338
It's not that complicated. Grandpa Grayson probably married a Roma woman, making John mixed race.

>>87079166
So I guess she's the one to choose the name Giovanni, then? His dad would probably have been the one to start calling him John. Makes sense.

>>87068346
Poor Dick. Just stalkers around every corner.

>>87068367
Anyone else flashing back to the Tarantula rape scene?

>>87068451
Dick should know better. No way is Damian listening to him.

>>87068380
Who the fuck is "Master Grayson"? When has Alfred ever called him that?

>>87080281
Me. I mean dude just got roofied

>>87080308
Yep. That's how he got killed in the first place

>>87075482
Yeah the return of the Batfamily is the best part of Rebirth for me, desu. The New 52 Batfamily books were mostly garbage.

>>87069396
Yes and that's the obvious real-world explanation for why Batman isn't going to change the world. But you can't deny how great it is when writers actually address the elephant in the room instead of writing around it. If Batman was really interested in making the world a better place he would be Bill-&-Melinda Gates-ing it.

>>87080310
Is there an in-universe explanation for why Alfred calls Bruce Master instead of Mister? Like, did Bruce sperg out and go 'Mister Wayne was my dad wauuuugh!' or something?

>>87068313
Quit being such a dick, Dick

>>87068346
To be fair I'd freak out too

>>87068468
So the ass came from dads side

>>87068219

>>87080310
>>87080760
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_(form_of_address)
It's an English honorific for boys and young men. Implying that Alfred considers Bruce a child.

>>87083712
>English honorific
Duh.
WHY does Alfred say it? Bruce is a grown-ass man. Was it Alfred's decision or was it at Bruce's request?

>>87084043
Because Bruce will always be Alfred's little boy :3

>>87084043
Because Bruce is a manchild

>>87068359

In Dick related news...
https://twitter.com/Uptomyknees/status/788974250736492544

Since when Nightwing started using his eskrima sticks?. Since Arkham City?.

>>87089841
I think he started using them back during his first solo book in the early 2000s. They were basically trying to make him into Daredevil-lite with that book.

>>87080760
>If Batman was really interested in making the world a better place he would be Bill-&-Melinda Gates-ing it.

He's good at writing Dick.

And apparently Agent of Batman is mostly Dick and Supes being mentored by, well, y'know.

>>87090821
Clark/Dick buddy team-up?

>>87091469
Happened in Grayson Annual #2.
It'll be awkward now that the Clark he knew is "dead".

>>87091923
Meet up with Neet-Supes in #9

>>87093011
Really interested to see how this goes. Bruce is mourning Super bro hard and I bet Dick will too

>>87068219
yay damian!

>>87093011
the crotch looks weird

>>87093390
Yeah, I don't see how Dick would have much respect for Superbitch.

>>87093011
Neat.

Random question: does Dick still have his Spyral gadgets?

>>87093909
He can borrow them if needed, but I don't think Tiger let him keep all the gadgets

>>87068934
Because it IS still wrong. The Nightwing identity predates Dick as Nightwing.

>>87068934
Another thing is Nightwing was a hero from Superbooks, rather than a name Wolfman himself came up with.

>>87093390
Man it's been a rough time for the, both. They lost Superbro and Tim not to far apart.

>>87093626
It so strange cause old Superman has plenty of memories of Dick who isn't all that different from pre flashpoint besides being younger and having 8. Extra years to spend with his family

>>87095193
>Tim
I keep forgetting he's gone even though every book keep mentioning it, including this one.

>>87095512
Probably because you know he's not really dead and Tim hasn't been relevant for 6 years

>Being mentored by Batman
>A character who only exist because Superman was invented in the first place

Post-Crisis was a mistake

>>87068219

I like how this issue kind of got me to realize that there really aren't any A-list superheroes who are poor. Sure, there was Spider-Man at the very beginning, but that was decades ago. Now it's mostly just wealthy people who condescend to the poverty stricken.

That's kinda fucked.

>>87095590
It doesn't help that the story had a sudden end and the next week everyone was going "yeah, he died", with little commotion.

>>87095818

Yep, everyone should've got an issue to mourn before the crossover. Probably the one thing that the Teen Titans did right. Also we know there was a funeral since they went, so why not show it?

>>87095863
If I'm not mistaken, king actually said once that all the "mourning Tim" moments will happen off panels because we already went through this with Damian.

>>87095918
I like to think that after every death the characters have gotten as apathetic as the readers, and already expect him to return somehow.

>>87095606
I don't think that's what it means. I don't know what it means, but Max is too much of a Superfag to do it.

>>87095130
>>87095165
But no one cares about that

>>87096079
I think funerals and mourning should be put in a one-shot, because I really liked what Marvel did for Bruce Banner( his death in CWII was still stupid but The Fallen was a nice issue).
This way the books don't have to waste an issue because the death is already accepted

>>87096356
But Bruce Banner is really dead while Tim isn't which makes any drama about his "death" cheap.

>>87068470
Because Seeley is good at these kinds of kick em' punch em' stories.

>>87096458

The audience knows that Tim isn't dead, but the in-world characters have no idea. That's called dramatic irony, and isn't a cheap thing. I mean, it wasn't cheap when Darkseid knocked Bruce into the stone age.

>>87096458
But they don't know that. Tim has been shat on for so long in the Nu52. At least give the guy a funeral.

>>87096236
They should when even in-universe Dick gets the name from Superman lore.

It's just a silly credit to list in general though.

>>87098029
It's a fun factoid. But 99.99% of the population doesn't know or care about that.

Nightwing is a dude that hangs out with Batman. Not a piece of folklore from a dead alien planet.

Why can't they let Dick just be happy.

I would still buy comics of him if he was happy. :'(

>>87098339
I don't know what you're talking about. Why would 99.99% of the population matter? Credit the correct creators if you're going to list people.

Dick makes a lot of funny mad faces in this issue. We don't see him angry that often do we?

That's probably the least of his concerns.

>>87095818
Were you just not reading comics 2 years ago? They did the same thing with Dick when they started Grayson.

Man this issue really highlighted how cool the blue gloves are. They really stand out and pull his outfit together.

>>87102109

They do realize he'd most likely murder them himself?

>>87098865
He needs a good dicking.

>>87098865
He had some fun in Grayson, even if sometimes he was just pretending.

Anyone else bummed out that Raptor's going full villain? He could've turned it around, and then he had to go and kidnap Bruce. Now all bets are off.

>>87105229
He still has (questionably) good intentions, even if they're too extreme for Dick. I can see him eventually returning for forced team-ups or some moral rivalry. Yeah Tiger, Helena and Midnighter already filled that role before but he could still be less nice than them.

With that said, I'm glad we finally have a character created in a Nightwing comic some with positive reception, goddammit.

>>87106130

I love both Tiger and Raptor. They're not just great foils for Dick, they're stand out characters on their own. I hope they both stick around for a good, long while.

>>87101860
>Also what's up with seeing the eye through the lenses?

I kind of like it for dramatic effect but it can't be an every issue thing.

>>87098339
He was an actual character in pre crisis. DC should at least credit the right people.

>>87107963
That's not the character this series is about so why would they do that

>>87108680
This is about a character Bill finger created. Wolfman gets credited for a character not created by him and gave him a name not created by him.

>>87108828
Wolfman gets credited for creating the Nightwing identity. It's the only creator credit attached to Dick Grayson when a book gets published.

"Nightwing" doesn't have a creator it is just a word. I just checked the times it wasn't Dick using the name and no credit is attached.

Nightwing only matters if its Dick Grayson. And Marv is responsible for that.

>>87106130
I like both Tiger and Raptor and feel that the way they introduce them is great. I'm not fond of the >here's a character, they are very important look how important they are they are the best here's some backstory and some flashbacks approach.

Bump for the glory of Raptor, my new favorite anti- hero/villain who the fuck ass knows.
Whatever he is he's the anti-batman, I think. Goddamn Shark Attractant

>>87068468
i dont think thats raptor.
the way i see this going down is:
a. siblings in the photo means dick and rapetor are cousins
b. dicks hot mom had a think for goofy looking murderers which would make dick and raptor brothers.

>>87071514
