Man, Dick Grayson is totally Hawtt Awesome. I just watched "Robin's Reconing" and was reminded of how great of a character he was even though he started off as kind of a lame side kick. Man, they really need to make a Nightwing show ^_^.

Fuck that, they need to bring back Darkwing. He'd pwn Nightwing any day.

While Darkwing Duck was indeed a cool show the warranted obsession in my childhood, I've recently developed a bias against anthropomorphic characters... I find them to be a bit too... unrealistic for my taste. Also I have this other problem that the show was littered with ridiculous amounts of slap-stick comedy often times sprinkled with dumb sound effects... Then again I think pretty much every standard children's cartoon has those and I just happened to cling to the cool ones in my youth like Gargoyles.

And Nightwing is realistic? Come now. If we wanted to be totally realistic, any one of the Batman/Daredevil/Nightwing types with no superpowers would be dead inside of a year once they started crimefighting. Bad guys have guns, and not all bad guys are bad shots.

You do have a point in that guns are pretty dangerous, however a lot behind the Batman mythos is the overcoming the gun through more creative means. Batman always sticks to the shadows, and knows how to get the guns away from them. Of course he can't do this all the time and so him and his group (Bruce Wayne, Barbra Gordon, Dick Grayson, Celina Kyle, Tim Drake, and Terry McGinnis) have all suffered severe injuries including ballistic wounds.

Another good thing to think about is that their costumes are not just apparent skin tight cloth with flashy designs and tights, but also functions as full body armor. Try to think of the more modern versions of superhero outfits we see in fiction and the media today. For that matter, recall Batman's suit in Batman Begins. I don't think it is too unrealistic... I do however agree that there is a fair amount of unrealism in it with various things they do ( ... )
