Okay, I'm still not a truly big fan of Robin, but Tim Drake is pretty cool and didn't have any lame lines or anything in TAS. Grayson is also a favorite but I guess because he eventually becomes Nightwing. I guess Grayson gets my vote, though.

Truthfully, Nightwing deserves his own movie. He's very similar to Batman and has a much more badass costume to boot. I say give him a movie putting him in a Gotham with no Batman who is either injured, dead, or has passed the mantle to Nightwing. That'd be really cool to see.

Dick and Tim are both pretty cool. I never really liked Jason though, so I was damn glad he was killed off by my favourite Batman villian stick out tongue

Barbara Gordon would be my favourite Batgirl by far.

Tim.

Da Joker
As far as the Batgirl's are concerned, Barb's my favorite:

She was pretty cool, and had some good episodes. Nightwing deserved more episodes.

On a different note, didn't you use Tim, twice there?

And you missed Stephanie Brown. And maybe Carrie Kelly, just cause DKR was so ****ing cool.

Not that I've read that many Batman comics to judge, but I think DKR is overrated as well. To me, a good comic needs to have attractive drawings/art coupled by good writing. Hush would be my all-time favourite smile

The crude-ish drawings in DKR put me off the story completely confused

I would've made it multiple choice had there been more Robin's to choose from. But that's how I generally feel...Tim was always the better Robin while Grayson was the lame Robin that evolves into a character even cooler than Batman.

It was, to be honest, somewhat tedious. It wasn't absolute crap, but it was far from the best Batman story. I much prefer Year One and the Long Halloween.

Haven't read Year One yet, but Long Halloween and The Killing Joke are some of my favourites too.

Dark Knight Returns is highly rated for it's story, not for it's drawings (which I personally find alright actually). I don't fin the drawings in Sandman, Watchman or V for Vendetta overly appealing, but I think there's no denying that the writing is genius and as that not overrated.

I dunno, I never really got into the DKR story either. Perhaps the drawings had too much of a negative impact on me smile

I'm not saying it's the worst Batman comic out there, but it certainly isn't in my list of tops.

I don't know if I'm the only one but Tim really earned my respect when I saw "Return of the Joker" and what he endured as a child. Plus, the guy virtually took out the Joker, which was pretty cool in itself. I also felt really bad for him, but he exacted his revenge...in a way.

Tim didn't suffer through anything in his childhood in comic continuity (except being taken away by a strange man in tights to a cave and being forced to dress up like a bird). He just worked out who Batman was and persuaded him to let him be Robin; in doing so, he did, admittedly, help Batman find some 'redemption' for Jason Todd's death, which I guess is pretty awesome...

Ah, I suppose that did happen, and there was Stephanie Brown dying (though why anyone would be upset about that, I don't know).
Tim was certainly an improvement, character-wise, over Jason Todd and the costume wasn't half as bad either. Todd was a little prick, though I kind of liked the Under the Hood arc.

I just found it.


Robin could be made out to be alright, if he wasn't so flamboyant. I grew up with Dick Greyson being the boy wonder in old school comics and well, he really annoyed me. At times he'd mess up plans and just slip. What really did for me, was the style back in the day where Bruce and Dick would share the same bed, that just hindered the character to me. Althought Nightwing has his rewards, the fact of a dark, menacing hero, teamed up with a brightly colored, optimistic young lad seems to clash. Never been a Robin fan...

Don't even get me started on the Japanese-friendly Teen Titans cartoon show Robin, that just....no...
In Teen Titan comics, Robin actually has leadership skills that are impressive and his physique doesn't look out of proportion, but he's just not my fave, I'm a Batgirl fan however. They've all been pretty good imo, and seem to match up with Batman in terms of presentation.

It does suck. It completely takes away from the whole idea of sacrifice and risking one's life to save others if the heroes almost expect to come back eighteen months later when some cheap editor is desperate to boost sales with some convoluted, plot-device laden arc which no one fully understands. If 'resurrection' was an extremely rare and incredible phenomenon then maybe it could be forgiven, but it happens to every damn character.

It is comforting to know that, even in the medium of comics, there is something to relate to, and that the characters are these noble heroes who risk their lives for 'us', ordinary people. But no, instead they're practically immortals who die and just turn up a couple of years later and no one bats a bloody eyelid.
It's ridiculous.

Tim Drake is second in my opinion and Jason Todd. he's ok

As a character overall, I like Jason Todd the most.

Why not give him one of Batman's lower tier villains? Give him one of the lower tier villains and then create him one of his own villains. Btw, the only way he could be dubbed a Batman clone would be if they made his personality exact like Bruce's/Batman's.

To people who don't know who Nightwing is, and watch a movie that resembles Batman and he shares criminals related to Batman, they'll think it's a Batman rip-off. The people who like Nightwing and Batman will know and recognize the movie for what it's worth, but Nightwing fighting low tier Batman villains, nah.

To be fair, lower tier Batman villains are probably as little-known as Nightwing among the general public. However, I still say that the best choice would be Blockbuster and the mob.
If they really wanted to distance the story from being remotely Batman-esque, I guess an adaption of the '90s Nightwing miniseries (I think the TPB was released under the title Ties That Bind or somesuch). That was pretty cool and sent Nightwing to some fictional Eastern European country, specifically with the intent to get Dick out of Batman's shadow...

Hmm, that could work, I like the way you think. Also, another thing that could keep Richard out of Bruce's shadow would be to not make him as determined and as dark & brooding as Batman. Have him take it serious, but not as serious as Bruce, if that makes sense to you, AB.

I disagree...
A) They could easily ignore the fact that the intelligence came from the Devil. They could probably get away with not explaining his origin and merely having speculation relating to his mutation.
B) He was already that way when Nightwing arrived in Bludhaven. Again, no need to explain his origin. He's just a freak mob boss.
C) He was pretty cool. And, when you say he's dead, why's that a problem? Rachel Dawes didn't even exist in the comics and she was in Begins and TDK...
D) Nightwing's other rogues are hardly anything to write about. There's 'Nite-Wing', who's OK, but would also certainly be unsuitable for an introductory story. He's a sequel character.
E) Yeah, Blockbuster's name is pretty sucky, but I'd keep it. It could just be a nickname given to him by his underlings. His real name, Roland Desmond, could be used by those close to him. Though, to be fair, Roland Desmond is no great name. Not as bad as 'Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot', but still...

Honestly, he spent most of his time fighting the mob. Pitch Dick against the mob, and maybe Blockbuster could oversee the mob from afar, setting up a sequel.
Anyway, I agree with Bardock that there shouldn't be a live action Nightwing film, at least not in the foreseeable future. I guess an animation could be pretty cool.
