Its crazy that DC has way more legacy characters and have been using them for longer than most us have been alive yet Marvel knows how to push their legacy characters better. Especially since most of the most popular Marvel legacy characters were created in the past 15 years.

@douglasbryant9571 Жыл бұрын

If Marvel had the slightest idea how to push their legacy characters better than DC, they'd have put the respect Dick Grayson's earned on Peter Parker's name, years ago. Instead, Peter still gets treated like Charlie Brown and Spider-Man's the "comic relief" of the MCU. Superman and Wonder Wonder offered Nightwing the opportunity to become a Leader because they view him as an adult... Cap and Iron Man would never consider Spider-Man as Leader of The Avengers because they see him as a wise cracking, immature kid. DCs done more to progress Dick Grayson's character development in 100 issues than Marvel's done with Peter in 60 years.

@@douglasbryant9571 I yes a DC fan hurtin. Also what you talking bout Marvel dont know to push they legacy characters, All marvel do is always push they characters always. From Dr.Doom, Blade, Magneto, Luke Cage, Both Spidermen, The younger Avengers members, Wolverine all been leaders roles to a groups now. They always been solo ass solo characters for years & years. Marvel put them in leadership & got things done. Some Avengers some not. Not all have be in Cap or Ironman Avengers team. When you have other bigger & crazy as teams like X-Men, Elementals out there. Hell Marvel even put in characters in games you wouldnt even know or might heard of yet like in the Marvel vs Capcom series team ups. Also character development? Peter Parker Spiderman always been push for years, decades. From being solo act to finally be a leader to a team of other spiders. Hell Peter Parker is now a dad. Along side with Migel or now Miles getting the shine in the movies now. If anything DC hasnt push none of they character in to spotlight like Marvel does. Specially in the heroes live-action movie department. Black Adam, Joker & Wonder Women, Suicide Squad? They finally got around to the Justice League movie after Marvel finally did they team up movies Only thing I think truly DC has push for they character development was Young Justice show. Then drop the ball again. Coulda had so many spin-off with some them characters to other shows or something. like did with Teen Titans. Also enter the spider-verse to across spdier-vers is nothing but the legacy movie of spidermen & women characters from past to present so I know trollin. Hell they put all the live-action movies spidermen togethere & did the meme. When DC gonna give the DC fans Black Lightning, Blue Beetle or Static Shock movies fans want to see. Or maybe another Constantine movie maybe a Court of owls story movie.. Hmmm Green Lantern HAHA! Nah you gonna get another same ol batman movie spotlight for sure HAHA! But good for Nightwing finally getting the shine in the DC comics. About damn time

Pretty much the only thing I’m reading is Nightwing and DareDevil these days, and I find that hilarious considering the similarities. It means so much to see Dick finally get the shine he deserves, not just because he’s cool, lovable, and a Bat Fam Stabple. He’s one of the most important characters in comics in GENERAL. He represents time. Progress. Development. Legacy. Something comics are often afraid of showing these days (Hey, One More Day). One of my favorite things about the character is how no matter where in the multiverse, it’s implied Dick Graysonis and always will be a good person that people love (until the live action Titans show ruined the streak).

If we are Talking Legacy character replacements for Superman and Wonder Woman as the primary trinity characters then Superman will either be replaced by John Kent(was pushed really hard before dark crisis as the new Superman) or Supergirl which has always been a pretty solid character. Wonder women it would likely be Donna Troy. BUT there is a chance the new Trinity aren't all legacy characters. So for example the New Trinity could be Nightwing, Cyborg, and Harley Quinn 3 very popular fan favorite characters. Cyborg I believe is getting his own comic book run so that could help. Harley and Nightwing have both already have successful projects/comic book runs so from a marketing perspective I could see this kind of outcome.

with "Titans", the name ALONE evokes a sense of myth, and of greatness - something i always thought their book/s always deserved. TBH, "Justice League (of America, et al) just sounds like an old excuse to put heavyweights into one book... which it was. THOSE characters can always stand on their own, carrying their own titles, but making Titans a flagship for DC would certainly push those classic characters into the mainstream... more than Teen Titans Go! has, anyway. DC is def making some interesting moves in recent days...

In a sense, the Justice League were the ORIGINAL legacy heroes, successors to the Justice Society. Certainly, after "Flash of Two Worlds" in 1961, they were, and much more so after *_Crisis on Infinite Earths_* in 1985, when the JLA and the JSA existed on the same Earth. All the more reason that the Titans should have gradually moved up as the next generation of heroes, as John Byrne implied when he made the equivalent of the Titans in his *_Generations_* miniseries, set on Earth-38, the Justice League of America.

DC would have made Nightwing as popular as Batman but because his name is Richard he fell out of fashion quickly.Let me explain he had the VERY COMMON 1940s shorthand nickname "Dick" which fell strongly out of fashion when it was used as a pejorative and as a common slang term for.....fellas you know by the mid-1970s. This is the genesis of his downfall. Had the original creator named him Tommy, Johnny, Jimmy, Brad, or Terry most modern comicbook writers would want to use him. But he was saddled with a name that is considered poison by writers. This is why they tried to rename him Rick at one point. Like most people alive today, I have never met a person in real life who uses Dick as the shortened version of Richard. I would think this would make Greyson unique, right? A tough guy who is proud of his uniquely uncommon old school name. But with a silly name like Dick DC comics could use it to be a plot point to make greyson lose his cool and get a bit ruthless when villains like joker uses it to make him angry or use it as a derogatory jab at him. An Example would be the Joker calls Nightwing a Dick and he loses it. Maybe let it be something that really gets on his nerves when they use it in the slang way as disrespect nightwing. But nope in our hyper aware and overly childish society Dick Greyson is cancer to comicbook writers and I have always thought it was his name that they hate. Because honestly Nightwing is the heart and soul of DC comics. Take injustice, they killed Dick because if he were to remain alive he was the only person who could get Clark and Bruce to sit down and settle their differences without any real bloodshed, but if he isn't around the entire world burns to the ground between Bruce and Clarks egos. He is the successor to Bruce should they ever kill off Bruce Wayne and the only one of the Bat family Bruce considers an Equal and not one of his children. Nightwing is Batman's brother and if Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are the DC trinity then Nightwing is the number 4 guy on the roster that the Trinity go to for advice or to talk to when they need a friend. He is the highest form of moral virtue in the DC universe and always does the right thing no matter the cost. So I'm a huge fan of nightwing if you couldn't tell but I understand why they don't use Dick Greyson and its just silly that DC have never capitalized on him as the heart and soul of their entire DC family of heroes! It's just so strange that it took them 40 years to realize this isn't a problem for the fans of DC comics and especially fans of Nightwing.

Good recap of issue 100 and Tom Taylor’s run so far. I love the run, but the pacing is pretty poor. Out of 20 plus issues, the whole Heartless story hasn’t been resolved and they just faced each other like 2 or 3 times. And when Bruno Redundo is not drawing the comic, he is sorely missed. I liked the Batman moment as well as interaction with Mayor/sis and Batgirl. I really want this comic to be Dick and Babs book. Tom Taylor makes them a cute couple with heart and comedy and they make a good team.
