Bleeding Cool have posted the following cover to Nightwing #6, and raise the question: Is Nightwing symbolically kicking the crap out of the Marvel Universe here? Have a look for yourselves..



One thug with a Punisher skull, another with Captain America's star symbol and a third with what seems to be a Spider-Man like tattoo. Coincidence?

Yeah, I think it's funny myself. It would also be funny if Marvel did it. But queue rage..

The only two I could see, might be Punisher and Cap? Am I missing something else?

And here comes the DC Fanboys to tell us all how this is reality. Look at the New 52 Sales. Look at the BO numbers of TDK.... YAWN heard it all before

No totally, Nightwing could beat up Spider-Man, that's plausible. I mean come on! I'm a batman fan but this is just stupid

I'm gonna say coincidence. It doesn't really look like anything.

If anyone takes offense to this then they need to relax. Even if it was intentional it's the least of what they could do. Authority had a bunch of Avengers copies the Captain America copy even raped a Superman stand in. Marvel published Nemesis which is a murderous Batman. An evil JLA even appeared in Avengers. Planetary from DC turned the Fantastic Four into a evil organization who kill babies. Nothing really to get worked up over can even be interesting sometimes.

you know whats even funnier how could comic fans argue every day about which company is better when both have awesome characters. doesn't make sense, most likely is because half of you only like characters because of the movies. you people talk about these characters like they are real. hilarious

really though nightwing wishes he could beatup that many marvel characters


people give these human vigilantes toomuch credit ..that goes for both companies .

Well it's probably because that's what DC has being doing to Marvel in the past 6 months ;)

Compared to what Marvel was doing to DC for the past 30 something years prior to that? Not really brag worthy IMO

They're rubbing it in while they can, before Marvel make them their bitch again for another thirty years.

Cue Stan and Kyle voice: I don't care.

Honestly, what is the thought process behind people getting upset over this? As Shatner would say: Get a life.
