Am I the only one who is cranky about this whole Nightwing and Starfire are meant to be!!!!!11 crap that has suddenly come up?

Because if Dick is going to end up with anyone who isn't Tim or Bruce or Clark or Roy it should be Barbara, damnit! Isn't it bad enough that Batman/Wonder Woman isn't really canon except in the freaking JLU cartoons? I ( Read more... )

Is this happening in the comics?

I don't really mind, but then I'm heeeavily influenced by kerithwyn (my opinions in comics always stems from the big guns, hehe). And having a tiny woman (why do I know so many tiny women??) assuring me (with the conviction of owning almost all the Teen Titans and New Teen Titans) that Kory did a lot towards shaping Dick's personality and belief system to the way it is now? You'd be sanguine about the Dick and Kory too.

And the more I think about, the more I can easily get on the Dick/Kory bandwagon. I dunno if it makes sense at this point in their lives though. But! It worked before and they were in loooove and yeah. Good times.

Yeah. The Teen Titans go into the future where evil!Titans rule America or something, and they find out that Nightwing left with Starfire to go live happily ever after or whatever. Add to that various other references to the OTP of Nightwing/Starfire in other issues of other things. THEN after the future stuff, you come to find out that the reason Starfire joins Outsiders (which happened recently) was to keep an eye on Dicky cause he's been kind of *insane* lately. I don't mind them getting together at all, really, I just don't like that it's determined by some future people that this Must Be. Also, I don't like the idea of saying they're for good. Like Jack said they most likely wont be.

Here's what confuses me. One or two issues ago of Nightwing, Nightwing left. Like, he isn't Nightwing anymore. And yet he's still in Outsiders and he's still apparently Nightwing as far as the Teen Titans comic is concerned. So, is this just something that will come into play in later Outsiders/TT issues? (We only just found out about Tim's dad ( ... )

Yeah, I've only read single issues here and there of Kory/Dick, but I grew to accept them. But, you know, it might just not be the appropriate thing for now, what with Dick being all Babs-centric and stuff. *hee* I dunno, maybe Kory is usually there to pick up the pieces of Dick and put him all back together again?

Anyway, *lol* It's like Robin and TT as well. Tim left being Robin, and yet he was still in the TT issues for a bit or something. Gah, that's it, I'm picking up my fucking comics today. I'm sick of being stupid!

Well, you know, I don't think reading comics will help with that....

ummm errr, because us Kory/Dick fans don't read Nightwing and had no idea there was even something with Barbara ^^;;

Money is the reason my comic knowledge is so limited =P

The Dick/Babs relationship was in NW, BoP and GK at the very least, and mentioned in passing in most if not all of the other Gotham titles, too.

I don't know whether it was ever mentioned in The Titans, because I still haven't read all those issues.

I don't 'ship Dick/Babs or Dick/Kory because they both seem like such unhealthy relationships, but Dick/Babs makes way more sense to me than Dick/Kory right now. The Dick/Kory just seems forced, and honestly, I'd like to see Kory be something other than Dick's Ex in a title for once.

okay, well, you know what, I am so out of date with my comics right now, I haven't picked them up in forever, so I have no clue what's going on anywhere. I appreciate anything spoilerific in your post.

As for Nightwing/Starfire. I've never been a fan of her, and yes, babbs only should be the love of his life. I know they sort of tried that once, and I was upset when it didn't happen. grrrr...

and yes, bruce and diana, and that's why i so love that DC thing that Lori drew where she had to draw them and their love angst...so fantastic. That's where my world lies too! I've always wanted to read wonder woman, it's a matter of too many comics too little time or money. Do you have any TPBs to recommend?
