I refuse to let DC trick me into thinking they're going full retard and actually kill off Nightwing.

There.

So is this telling us that Penguin, Prof Pig, and who I can only guess is Harlequin the Joker's daughter are now involved with the Bat family in a constructive way? I hope this isn't what is going on.

Last thing who is armor suit Batman standing next to Batgirl if that character has been introduced?

@batcheeks8 Well they already unmasked Nightwing to the entire world of super villains during the recent event so it wouldn't surprise me that they kill him off.

One thing I am still uncertain about I can't find anything that says if Batman did not adopt Dick in the new 52 continuity. If he did adopt him like in the old continuity then everybody knows who Batman is and everything and everyone associated with Bruce Wayne would be killed or destroyed by his villains to get back at him. No way the villains are stupid enough to not connect Dick Grayson being Nightwing but the man he has partnered with since his teenage years is not his adoptive father.

I can't recall who said Nightwing wouldn't die but experience something potentially "worse than death", was that Kyle Higgins himself or Geoff Johns?

Anyway I don't think they will kill Dick so soon after Damian.. and Superboy is biting the dust too but they've probably noticed by now that doing that will never get the reaction they get when they kill off a (former) Robin.

If they do it they better be prepared for the shitstorm haha

@batcheeks8
- Batwoman and Maggie (with a wedding ring??)

Nice catch I didn't notice it the first time but unlikely since Dan DiDio seems to be against marriage completely in the new DC universe since even long time married couple Aquaman and Mera are not even married anymore. The only one allowed to be married is Animal Man because how integral his family is to his story. In DiDio's own words

"Heroes shouldn’t have happy personal lives. They are committed to being that person and committed to defending others at the sacrifice of their own personal interests.

That’s very important and something we reinforced. People in the Bat family their personal lives basically suck. Bruce Wayne, Tim Drake, Barbara Gordon and Kathy Kane. It’s wonderful that they try to establish personal lives, but it’s equally important that they set them aside. That is our mandate, that is our edict and that is our stand."

P.S. ya go to the website and read his words I deleted the line for spoilers DiDio seems to give away what happens to Nightwing.

I guess Grayson dyed his hair blond after the mishap with Forever Evil.

In the same way Damian's death was a good story? lol..

pesmerga44 - 11/19/2013, 5:10 PM
Even if Nightwing just dyed his hair blonde unless DC does another reboot on the Batman continuity every villain knows who Batman is. Can anyone tell me has it been said in the comics Bruce did not adopt Dick now because if that doesn't change then every villain in the DC universe is a complete dumbass.

batcheeks8 - 11/19/2013, 5:19 PM
/sigh

The prospect that Dick, if he survives, probably has to sever all ties with the Batfam makes me so sad :(

The only thing I'd accept as far as Nightwing going away is if he became the new Batwing and had a kick ass suit.
Gquinn
Gquinn - 11/19/2013, 7:00 PM
he's alive, they have previews on the DC Comic website all the way up to i think issue 28 only thing i can think of thats "worse than death" would be him having to stay away from the batfamily for the sake of the familly, maybe killing dick grayson and giving him a new name and hair color making him look like a 2nd person taking up the nightwing mantle idk im spitballing here but hes alive up to nightwing #28

1. Did anyone notice the Fortress of Solitude in the background?
2. Am I missing something, where's Damien Wayne?

"Robin" (The bird robin) is sitting on top to Titus. Maybe that symbolizes something...

Anyway, there are also bones on the ground, next to Catwoman... Are those Damian's?

Oh, btw, who are those people at the back of Batwoman? Is one of the guys from the Red Hood Gang?

I wonder who are those two people next to Batwing/Cobblepot and Pyg....

I love that Dan DiDio thinks that superheroes should have not have happy lives that they must sacrifice everything in order to defend innocent people.

"Heroes shouldn’t have happy personal lives. They are committed to being that person and committed to defending others at the sacrifice of their own personal interests"

So basically according to DiDio every hero in DC needs to be Batman or just like him. How absolutely boring and bland the DC universe would be like that.

Anyone recognize the 3 guys behind Batwoman? The ladies between Batwing and Catwoman? Ice raft on the water. Owl, robin, cat, dog, no bats?
