Dick is my favourite character from DC comics, so its nice to see more people voicing their love for the character. I think the reason he appeals to me so much is because he has the best coming of age story I've seen in comics and he really helped me grow up. The only issue I take with the video is that Dick's father is named John, not Jack. Jack was the name of Tim's father. But I'd still like to see more vids, hopefully on Jason next.
I spotted the slight error of the Batcave calling Mr. Grayson "Jack," but I think it's forgivable, given that Jack is often used as a nickname for men named John. Possibly, Mr. Drake's actual given name is John as well, though I have no knowledge of such.
2:57 I just wanna note, this actually happened after Dick had dropped out of College and joined the New Teen Titans, he was probably around 19-20 when this happened, and is definitely around 20 when he becomes Nightwing
I’m so glad you created this channel. Do a video on all the Robins. Hell, do videos on all sidekicks that were made because of Robin. I love your content.
Great video, Grayson has always been a favorite of mine. I really miss the mid 90's comic book stories of Dick moving to Bludhaven and establishing himself as it's protector. It had some great stories and fun supporting characters.
I mean you know the solution to that... 1) Be involved in a chemicals accident. 2) Transform yourself into Flash 3) Try changing history, to prevent New 52 from happening. ( The previous was a sarcastic joke cause, you can't change what happened, so why this nostalgia comments just keep being a thing
I really like Dick. He was great as Nightwing. Bruce trained him well, but his dedication to only the mission strained their relationship. In the DCAU, I wasn't a fan of the way they had Dick and Bruce fall out over Barbara in the BTAS comics where Bruce gets Barbara pregnant. Loved Dick's characterization in the DCAU the best.
Okay that secret agent plotline with Dick in the new 52 sounds bonkers as hell. Glad that didn't stick lol and I would love to see more videos on the other Robins. it's hard for me to make up my mind but I think Jason Todd is my favorite one.
Excellent video, thanks for making such an enjoyable and easy to follow history of Dick Grayson. I just started reading Batman & Robin with Dick as Batman and Damien as Robin. I didn’t read Battle for Cowl so I was a little lost, so lo and behold you made the perfect video to catch me up. Props!
I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation! Most of this information brought me back to my youth and what I knew about Robin and Dick Grayson, but I also learned some new things as well. This is most exciting and memorable. Thank you so much! New subscriber! 🤜🤛🙏👍
One more thing...the black and red costume is AWESOME!!!! Blue is my favorite color but the red just looked cool.... please do a Damian Wayne video too 😊
There I am a subscriber from your Sixth Ranger Channel and newly subscribed members of The Batcave. I just wanted to say great job on this video on Dick Grayson aka Nightwing. He has always been one of my favorite members of The Bat family and this video was an incredible dive into the history and lore of what makes Dick Grayson such a great character. Really looking forward to future videos. Would like to see a video on Tim Drake, Barbara Gordon, Alfred Pennyworth and some of your favorite villains.
Thank you for this video. NIGHTWING is my favourite Batman Character in the Bat Family. I’m waiting on a Movie or Series of Movies on Dick Grayson/NIGHTWING . New Subscriber.
So Nightwing is my favorite character, his sidelining in a lot of media for plots to work is very interesting. SPOILERS FOR INJUSTICE His death in those comics sending daimian down a dark path and spliting the Titans was nuts as was him becoming Deadman. Also the crazy what if storyline that had him removed and the Titans and justice league just fighting basically all the time was interesting.
I wish there was a Nightwing Elseworld series that spanned a few hundred issues where its everything in the comics up until where we are now, with Bruce either dying or retiring or being forced into retirement, and we get to see Dick being a 100% solo hero (like not even havibg guest appearances in Batman comics anymore because he'd effectively take batman's role, but not as the next Batman, just as Nightwing. Or at least if he does take the mantle of Batman, do it like the Batman & Robin series from a few years back where Damien is his sidekick)
In the legends of the Dark Knight Series, The Dive Claw Robin figure looks like the Batman Animated Series Robin wearing a variation of the Batman Forever Robin suit.
Please do a video about Gotham City. History, most famous towns, location of GCPD, Ace Chemicals, Wayne Manor, Wayne Enterprises, Black Gate, Arkham Asylum etc...
That story line where he was Ric Grayson with all the other cops and firefighters becoming nightwing was so God awful. So glad the writing has been much better this past year with his return to bludhaven.
A weird magic Crystal that first the Court of Owls used to implant on him false memories of being trained as a Talon to bring him back to their ranks (although it lasted like 2 or 3 issues and he was able to overcome it without getting to kill anyone, wasted idea). Same crystal Joker then used on him in one other issue later making him "Dicky Boy" for a bit during Joker War. To FINALLY being used to restore his real memories and then was broken to not be used again. They messed up with my boy too much in such a short period 💀 More over, he suppousley still has his Real memories, his memories as Talon and as "Dicky Boy" all in his head. But that detail was never mentioned again, nor used for some good psychological plotline.
What a mess. Seriously, Nightwing's whole story is a mess post-new 52. Tim's is just as bad if not worse. They keep trying to wipe the slate and start over, but they don't know where to pick up the story and because of this, they drop the ball every time. Its like half the writers hate Dick and want to change him, while the other half have brilliant ideas but cant hold the job for long enough to get anything done.
I know it's too early for this and can confuse us all but a very important part of Dick before he was born was the story of his secret sister. Well it was just shown last year recently in the new comics so I guess nobody would count it canon for now
Hi it's me Bruce Wayne if you can tell great if not not oh well I have plenty of fans right now so it's no worry but Dick Grayson was not the first Robin and Night Wing. I was. I have multiple personalities and Robin was always officially and originally mine.
It sort of follows the story of the character. So goes through Golden age, silver age, New 52, Rebirth and more. Trying to make it a cohesive story (very difficult! haha)
Ive got to disagree with you on the costume, I always thought it looked better red and black, especially since the blue always reminded me of his first Nightwing costume which might be the worst designed costume in all of comics, I always wondered if they did that to keep it in line with the silliness of Robins costume to start Nightwing off with. Ah well, he’s def not my favorite DC character, hell, he isn’t even my favorite Robin, so I can’t argue the suit color too much lol P.S. love the lotr channel and I’m sure I’ll love this one too, well done, can’t go wrong with Hobbits or Batman
I’m a fan of Batman, and I like that dick Grayson became nightwing too, and I didn’t mind the fact he was robin, it’s just I never liked the suit he wore originally as robin, the whole short-shorts suit with the Peter Pan shoes, and dc comicsdid the same thing with Jason Todd originally before the new 52, yet I did like the robin suit that dick had in the flashbacks to when he was robin the suit Grayson wore in those flashbacks in the zero issue of nightwing’s comic book during the new 52, and the one they gave Jason was an improvement over the robin suit dick, Jason wore before the new 52, but that’s my opinion, and the opinion of my cofounder of the channel my friend Jeff and I created too.
Watching him grow up is insane and it’s crazy to see how far he has come
Yeah, but he's being doing this stuff since 1940!‼

Great video man!! I love Dick Grayson's character, both as Robin and as Nightwing. Really nice job covering his history!

Yeah it wasn't great haha. The Best Robin is so hard to pick. They all have their moments!
Nightwing is my number 2 favorite. Superman being my absolute favorite
Good choices!
Easily my favorite Robin and I love the Character of Dick Grayson. He is so amazing as Nightwing.
A video about Tim Drake would be great! Love the channel. Keep on with the great work!
Will get on that soon! Thank you!🦇😁

Yeah Jason is a fantastic character. Looking forward to covering him!
Came over from The 6th ranger I really enjoy the content here as well
Thank you so much! :D
Dick = best sidekick and hero overall
Jason = just best hero
Tim = best sidekick
Damian = prick
Can't wait to see more of these videos. Excited for a Tim Drake video he's my favorite Robin.
Think he might be mine as well. I'm always changing my mind haha
Love the character dives you guys do. Seems like I’m subscribing to another channel! 😜
Thanks so much!!
One more thing...the black and red costume is AWESOME!!!! Blue is my favorite color but the red just looked cool.... please do a Damian Wayne video too 😊
Yeah I liked it... but blue is much better haha.
Will definitely get on to a Damien Wayne video soon 😊🦇
Ya Dick's still my favorite character created... period. Glad I found this channel

Thank you for this video. NIGHTWING is my favourite Batman Character in the Bat Family. I’m waiting on a Movie or Series of Movies on Dick Grayson/NIGHTWING . New Subscriber.
I would definitely want to see Tim Drake, the best Robin imo
Actually I prefer the fact that Bruce Wayne was the 1st Robin,as well as Dick taking Nightwing because that was Supermans identity in kandor
So Nightwing is my favorite character, his sidelining in a lot of media for plots to work is very interesting. SPOILERS FOR INJUSTICE
His death in those comics sending daimian down a dark path and spliting the Titans was nuts as was him becoming Deadman. Also the crazy what if storyline that had him removed and the Titans and justice league just fighting basically all the time was interesting.
My favorite DC character! Also wanna say I've watched a few of your videos and you're videos are really informative and entertaining so I subscribed
Wow I don't even remember writing this but everything in this comment still checks out
How about A full look at the Batcave. It is the one thing that is in all comic T.V. Show movies and Video games.
Interesting. Some of these things I didn't even know about. Great job bro
Thank you 😊
I hope they make a movie/animated movie about the one and only Dick Grayson!
Ik i may b late but im really trying to learn all the characters from dc & marval and "nightwing" caught my eye he looks badass haha so here i am lmao
0:08 Why Nightwing is posing like an Instagram model.

Dickie is the best superhero to ever superhero.

Why have’t you mention anything about his relationship with Starfire?
Please do a video about Gotham City. History, most famous towns, location of GCPD, Ace Chemicals, Wayne Manor, Wayne Enterprises, Black Gate, Arkham Asylum etc...
Glad to see i'm not the only one that didn't like the red and black suit.
Yeah... Nightwing should be Blue and black 👌
Awesome videos kept going
Excellent work!!
Thank you! :D
That story line where he was Ric Grayson with all the other cops and firefighters becoming nightwing was so God awful. So glad the writing has been much better this past year with his return to bludhaven.
Todd and Drake videos would be awesome! I came from the 6th Ranger!
Awesome! Thanks 😁
I thought he was 8 years old when he became robin
Well, I have a question. When did did Grayson stop being Robin in detective comics which issue?
XD my god, who ever chose atla zuko's name MUST'VE been a DC fan!
didn’t Zucco die of a heart attack when he saw Dick Grayson reveal himself as robin? did that really get left out?
Will you please make a version for babs and Cassie?
Thank you for the content, may you do tim drake please?
I definitely will soon 😁🦇
Dick Grayson is my favourite dc character
Yeah he's awesome :D
Dick grayson robin my all time fav
Love Dick Grayson. Would love to see a video on Barbara Gordon
Will definitely get one out on her at some point 🦇
What continuity does this follow? Also I a lore video on Jason would be cool. Just would like a specification on what continuity you are covering
The.... mainline continuity from the comics? Like.... obviously?
Definitely want a video on Jason Todd and Tim Drake!
Will get on them very soon! 😁🦇
Look it’s wingnut and screwloose
I run a nonprofit that fights recidivism called Metta Association. We should possibly collaborate!
Can you do detail on the Arkham games? Esp the joker arc (it’s dark)
Definitely 😊🦇
I love the Batfam so much.
Same
The OG Robin is the best. Nightwing is dope.
I’d love to see a Tim Drake video!!!
wait, how'd he get his memory back after the ric grayson thing?
A weird magic Crystal that first the Court of Owls used to implant on him false memories of being trained as a Talon to bring him back to their ranks (although it lasted like 2 or 3 issues and he was able to overcome it without getting to kill anyone, wasted idea).

Will definitely cover both of those 😊 Thanks so much 🦇
@@thebatcave111 no, thank you for this channel! I've never been the biggest DC fan but Batman was always an exception
His dad's name was John, not Jack. Hence Dick's middle name.
full story of Jace Fox?
Will you be covering other comic book characters & books?
I'll be covering ones from the Batman universe 🦇😊
Can you make a channel about flash hes my favorite character from dc
I won't be doing a flash channel, but I may do a couple of videos on him on this channel 😊 Seeing as he has many team ups with Batman 🦇
@@thebatcave111 yea right just like the flashpoint i hope you do a video about it bcs the story got my head tearning
Is Nightwing death cannon ?

Tom Taylor is killing Nightwing right now, imo!
What do you have against the color Red man? I mean, see it as in a fighting game, his other suit is a palette swap. Nothing to complain there.
