Dick tries to make peace, but Bruce wants action.

Dick gets everyone out, but the JLA wants to treat Vic as an enemy. Thankfully, the Titans have other plans.

Aww, Bruce is so worried.

Bette fantasizes about playing tennis with Dick and seeing his cute butt in those scaly shorts.
Seems legit.

This isn’t about defeating Vic, but saving him.
At least it is to the Titans.

So, I've really wanted to get back into reading comics, but I'm super poor and the local comic shop is really weird about me sitting in there and just reading... Is there a site I could read them online or something?

Hi! I feel your pain. I am not an expert on getting issues online, but I would suggest that you check out Dark Knight Dudes! Here’s the link to that Tumblr. The owner of that blog has free comics! Just check the right sidebar, where they are organized by title. You can access the entire original Nightwing run (issues #1-153) from there. The site also has Batman, New Teen Titans, Dark Victory, and much more.

If you have problems, just ask the owner. He/she is very nice, and will definitely help you get the stuff you need.

Anyone else have any advice?

P.S. Check your local library for trade paperbacks. Many libraries have decent graphic novel collections, so check that out. You might be in luck!

What's your opinion on "Grayson Earth One", the new live-action miniseries being funded? From the first episode I thought it was a nice twist on the character :)

I finally got around to watching this. It’s certainly interesting.

The production is very well done - extremely professional. The acting is good as well.

It’s certainly a twist on Dick’s origin, but it makes him a little too Jason-like in my opinion. Dick is actually very wholesome, and this series turns that on its head.

I did enjoy the pilot episode, though. I liked that he was called “Richard,” although I don’t think the name Richard fits the character at all. Let’s face it: Richard is an old-school, stodgy name (which I love!). The Richard in “Grayson: Earth One” seems way too edgy for that. I think he should probably be called Dick.

I support anything that keeps Dick Grayson in the forefront of people’s minds, but I am a bit too traditional to completely love the series. That’s on me rather than the cool people making this show, but it is something to keep in mind. This is very definitely an AU, and it would make a great (practically canon) Jason-Todd story.

Here’s the link. You should check it out yourselves!
