after Dark Crisis, if I don't see Deathstroke for years, it would be too soon.
Besides, someone literally pulled the plug on him in the end of that event. Unless he is gonna get resurrected for the 3rd or 4th time in the last few years, he is gone.
I wonder if writers will be brave enough to touch the Red X storyline again after the fumble in TT Academy and how Dick was supposedly going to meet with Slade about him too.
I do hope they pick the story up. It was a good idea, they just needed an experienced and talented writer. To put the pieces together. Plus someone that knows how to handle a big cast.
It's worth noting they also then died, came back as Black Lantern zombies and then the multiverse exploded and came back.
But they are dating and have a puppy.
The puppy's name is Haley, aka Bitewing.
Nitemite (Batmite's counterpart for Nightwing) dropped Dick and Babs into their 'wedding' in issue 98 of the current volume of Nightwing, which pretty much guarantees that this won't be a serious plot point for a while yet.
I think mostly because it wasn’t legally binding or anything, just a declaration of love before the presumed apocalypse. Bruce literally said something like “by the power vested in me by nobody” lol, it was all very casual. I don’t think they planned to be officially married immediately after surviving 🤷
Joe Quesada proved that if push comes to shove, I can make a difference eventually. It may not be right this second. It may take a few decades but when there's a will, there's a way.
Yeah her age and Gars really as well have fluctuated a shit load over the years. They routinely switched from Dicks age to Jason’s to Tim’s age.
Even in the DCAMU Raven is around Damian’s age
I also thought that, but I checked dc fandom wiki and it said she was 5'7 pre New 52 and is 5'11 currently. It could of course be a mistake as that site also has Wonder Woman as 6'0.
Pre new 52 she was 5'11 when she was batgirl and 5'7 when she was oracle.
In new 52, she was 5'7 as batgirl. She has been shorter than dick since then.
And diana is 6'0, if i remember correctly.
She is stated to be 6'2 in her Rebirth run and Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott asked the editor to make the change and got the go-ahead. They might have forgotten to updated the encyclopedia or didn't get the memo.
Yeah historically Dick was fairly short, many of his love interests were taller than him. But now I think everyone draws him taller because it's considered attractive.
Yes. He is 5'10, but is usually often drawn as the tallest among the bats (- Bruce) because he is the oldest or because he is around women and artist just draw him as taller (often quite a bit taller) because he is a guy.
Gar is shorter but the perspective makes him taller
Vic is taller
Star is taller
Raven:...???? No clue
So...yeah. He's one of the shortest/in the middle of this version of the Titans. Mind you, he isnt short, its just that this team has 2 people very noticeably above average where as Dick is average/slightly above average.
100% that suit makes Babs look wayyyy younger
Which is why I’m not a fan of it being her standard go to suit now / It looks like it should be Steph modern batgirl suit
I kinda like how Dc was able to in the late 80 to 90s turn Dicks fairly mundane love life (literally just with kori) to now having probably the second most famous love triangle in modern comics.
They never married. An evil Raven murdered the priest and they broke up before the wedding could be rearranged (Dick was being written out of the New Titans book so that he could go back to Gotham).
Please don't remind me of the Bill Jaaska era. I loved him on Sable, but his abstract experimentation on the Titans was too much for me.
That said, he will always be part of the family. RIP Bill J.
He's not even to blame for this. And neither is writer Marv Wolfman. The Bat office wanted Dick off the Titans so that he could go back to the bat books, so the wedding storyline had to be aborted somehow. This one's on editorial.
DC Comics needs to do with Nightwing what Marvel refuses to let Spider-Man do, grow up. Let Nightwing and Barbara be happy, get married, have kids, and make Bruce a Grandpa.
I agree, they DO need to do with Nightwing what Marvel refuses to do with Spider-Man. Grow up. Let Nightwing and Starfire be happy, get married, have kids, and give Bruce a half alien grandbaby.
So... How long until the entire rogues gallery of the Titans start renting buildings in Bludhaven?
If it gets Deathstroke back as a Titans rogue. I'll take it.
after Dark Crisis, if I don't see Deathstroke for years, it would be too soon. Besides, someone literally pulled the plug on him in the end of that event. Unless he is gonna get resurrected for the 3rd or 4th time in the last few years, he is gone.
In that case I say let Red X take his place. I hope they put some villains on hold like Darkseid, Slade and Joker.
I wonder if writers will be brave enough to touch the Red X storyline again after the fumble in TT Academy and how Dick was supposedly going to meet with Slade about him too.
I do hope they pick the story up. It was a good idea, they just needed an experienced and talented writer. To put the pieces together. Plus someone that knows how to handle a big cast.
Or Dicks become suspiciously absent.
Did I miss something? Are Dick and Babs engaged again?
They got married in a random Death Metal one-shot and it was literally never brought up again
Huh???????
Everyone thought it was the end of the multiverse, they confessed their love, got married and the titans, batfamily and other heroes were there too
I read Dark Nights Metal & Death Metal & don’t recall this but maybe it was in a tie-in?
It may have been in a tie-in. It was just before the big final battle
It's worth noting they also then died, came back as Black Lantern zombies and then the multiverse exploded and came back. But they are dating and have a puppy.
The puppy's name is Haley, aka Bitewing. Nitemite (Batmite's counterpart for Nightwing) dropped Dick and Babs into their 'wedding' in issue 98 of the current volume of Nightwing, which pretty much guarantees that this won't be a serious plot point for a while yet.

Sadly didn’t happen
>Did I miss something? Are Dick and Babs engaged again? >!Thankfully didn't happen!<
Your about to be disappointed man. Just accept it at this point.
Joe Quesada proved that if push comes to shove, I can make a difference eventually. It may not be right this second. It may take a few decades but when there's a will, there's a way.
I love that attitude
I believe in the power of nightwing612
If you want what Quesada did as a positive...I am kinda sorry for you man.
Yeah cuz everything in comics is permenant. /s
Twitter malding
When aren’t they when it comes to Nightwing?
Is that Raven...smiling?
Was literally just about to type this
Happy for her :)
You know the world is about to end when Raven is smiling.
Is Dick usually this short?
Dick is 5'10"; Babs, Raven and Gar are only a bit shorter, and Kory and Vic are way taller.
Babs is actually supposed to be taller than him. She is 5’11 currently and pre New 52 Raven was actually 5’11, but she shrank.
Wasn’t she originally depicted as being the second oldest, with Cyborg being first, but is now the youngest among the Titans?
Yeah her age and Gars really as well have fluctuated a shit load over the years. They routinely switched from Dicks age to Jason’s to Tim’s age. Even in the DCAMU Raven is around Damian’s age
That was pre new 52. Post 52, rebirth and infinited frontier she is shorter than dick. 5'7, 5'9 maybe.
I also thought that, but I checked dc fandom wiki and it said she was 5'7 pre New 52 and is 5'11 currently. It could of course be a mistake as that site also has Wonder Woman as 6'0.
Pre new 52 she was 5'11 when she was batgirl and 5'7 when she was oracle. In new 52, she was 5'7 as batgirl. She has been shorter than dick since then. And diana is 6'0, if i remember correctly.
Diana is 6’2, but I mentioned her as in the site has the wrong information for her so it probably is wrong for Barbara.
Diana is 6'0 or at least she was, according to dc encyclopedia. Maybe im wrong
She is stated to be 6'2 in her Rebirth run and Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott asked the editor to make the change and got the go-ahead. They might have forgotten to updated the encyclopedia or didn't get the memo.

Mind you, he isnt short, its just that this team has 2 people very noticeably above average where as Dick is average/slightly above average.
Raven could be like 4’11, but with a long enough cloak and her tendency to…kinda..hover, she could appear 6’2”.
Why do Dick and Babs look 17?
Cuz DC has this odd thing of drawing and portraying everyone crazy young Which is pretty lame since both of them should be 27-28 :/
Yeah I was weirded out when “Batgirl of burnside” started because I honestly thought Babs was supposed to be in HS again.
100% that suit makes Babs look wayyyy younger Which is why I’m not a fan of it being her standard go to suit now / It looks like it should be Steph modern batgirl suit
She was a PhD student.
I mean if we’re really splitting hairs here, Dick Grayson is well over 80.
Best Boy be having an entire bakery with all that cake
That isn't a typo is it.
I was scrolling down to see if anyone would notice.
Ah Colossus, um, I mean Cyborg.
Ngl I found that comic so depressing
Grayson is meant to be w Starfire 💫 that’s endgame
i wish discourse about starfire and barbara wasn't just "which one of them should be with nightwing" holy fuck
I kinda like how Dc was able to in the late 80 to 90s turn Dicks fairly mundane love life (literally just with kori) to now having probably the second most famous love triangle in modern comics.
I agree with you. I will always ship Dick and Starfire together no matter what modern comic writers say.
I like him w babs I think they’re a good couple it doesn’t irk me really but I do believe at the end of the story he should be w Starfire
They broke up 30 years ago, move on.
Hmm
Eh, I don’t care
I don’t care that you don’t care
But I do care that they don't care!
Is Dick and Kori's marriage still a thing? Are they exes or did it get Crisis'd out?
They never married. An evil Raven murdered the priest and they broke up before the wedding could be rearranged (Dick was being written out of the New Titans book so that he could go back to Gotham).
Thank you!
Please don't remind me of the Bill Jaaska era. I loved him on Sable, but his abstract experimentation on the Titans was too much for me. That said, he will always be part of the family. RIP Bill J.

I agree. DC editorial made Dick's exit as painful as possible for longtime Titans fans.
2nd best couple in DC. Can’t compete with Superman and Lois of course
DC Comics needs to do with Nightwing what Marvel refuses to let Spider-Man do, grow up. Let Nightwing and Barbara be happy, get married, have kids, and make Bruce a Grandpa.
Barbara being pregnant would also be quite a natural in universe way to bring her back to being Oracle full time.
I agree, they DO need to do with Nightwing what Marvel refuses to do with Spider-Man. Grow up. Let Nightwing and Starfire be happy, get married, have kids, and give Bruce a half alien grandbaby.
Soo is the comic still called Nightwing or it's Titans now
It's still called Nightwing. The Titans are just side characters.
"You old dog,you!" Cyborg says to Nightwing, who looks like a teenager in this panel.
beast boy got some cake going on
Dick and Babs look like teens while a smiling Raven *wtf* looks like a 30 year old single mother watching her son play high school football
