Kyle Higgins talks the future of Nightwing, Batman Beyond and plays the Dick Grayson game. (And he’s not bad with the Batman TAS knowledge either.) Higgins also drops some hints about the upcoming Zucco storyline.

Tony Daniels just posted this pic of a commission he’s just completed (alas not for me) on his Facebook page! He’s calling it “The Flying Graysons”
That’s really rather fab! :)

May I just point out that in the previous issue Clark asked Dick to take Damian and go so he and Bruce could have some privacy, but they’re up there spying and omg it’s really cute and sad help.
<Mumbles to self that she has to start reading this series, because it sounds a lot like Kingdom Come Earth-22…and she loves Kingdom Come…>
Even Bruce’s costume has a lot of Alex Ross influence. Plus Damian is alive, so…yay, finally something to spend money on in comics after months.

Some people just make a mark and you remember where you met them even tho a year or two has past - you still have a vague recollection of the first time you spoke. That’s Shin for me.
I remember it was in pchat first, years ago, well before we started to talk properly in dA and we’ve just become better and better friends and you are so incredibly important to me and I’m so glad we met.
Thank you so much for being there for me, like you’ve said for the last few years 24/7 and always kept your word.
Love you, girl ♥

New Titans before New 52 by LucianoVecchio
gorgeous!
Look at this perfection!
I find it so immensely fucked up that so many superheroes have lived long past their supposed “legacies”, sidekicks, and children. And I’m not just talking about Damian Wayne here. I’m talking about every single child or sidekick that has died in any kind of comic. I’m talking about all the Damian Waynes, Lian Harpers, West twins, Arthur Jrs, and Stephanie Browns.
The thing that just makes me upset is that sidekicks and legacies are intended to take the mantle and be the successor, but none of them get to do that and actually grow up. Instead, they die some grisly way just to serve as angst fuel. Do superheroes really need that? Like, especially Batman of all people. Three Robins died under him, just, that is so grossly fucked up. We only see a handful of sidekicks actually grow up and become their own person and you know what? They grow up and end up dying anyways. Arguably, some of them get to come back, but that really doesn’t make it any more ok??
Just
can we stop seeing comic book deaths for a while
please
I want to see kids grow up, go through awkward puberty, and then become who they’re supposed to be. I want them to experience their first kiss, the anxiety we all suffer from when we’re faced with the terrors of growing up, and I just want to see them live. Just more than anything, I want to see them become their own person.
I get some of these heroes are legacies. Batman, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, Superman, Flash etc. But some of these legacies died and their successors did get the chance to shine. Dick Grayson, Wally West, Donna Troy, and Connor Hawke (of course, not limited to them) all have done an amazing job as being their own sort of hero. I enjoyed Dick Grayson as Batman far more than I have ever have with Bruce. That’s not to say that they shouldn’t be their own hero away from their successors, but successors are meant to pass down the mantle. Whether that means Bruce dies (again) and Dick becomes Batman once more, or he stays Nightwing, it’s something that’s supposed to happen. Successors and mentors are supposed to leave it in the hands of their legacies because it’s natural. We don’t get to see that though because they all die or just get get flat out erased from continuity.
And it’s just really, really sad and really fucked up. We end up with dead kids, dead teenagers, and dead adults that should be the next step in heroism.
Can comics just please, please stop using death as a shitty plot device?

They just realized Bruce was gone so no one was going to cock block them anymore. Tim just realized it, too.

That time Dick and Babs went back to the Cave and made gross kissyfaces at each other.
(And Tim most certainly did not stumble upon them, haha no what are you talking about— oh, you thought you heard a high-pitched scream? it definitely wasn’t me because I was in a different continent so yeah I didn’t see aNYTHING aT ALL because different timezone or something; I think I hear Bruce calling me.)
