Dick Grayson: “Action is his reward”

It seems what happens in the Titans Tower, doesn’t stay in the Titans Tower, with this picture of Batman and Starfire, courtesy of the Source.

Say it with me now: Bat-chika-wow-wow!

    Nice art. Kinda sucks for Babs.

    Damn! Kory’s boobs are approaching Battle Chasers proportions! Love how she’s reaching for Dick’s “utility belt.”

  3. Joe_Kach Says:

    It would be less annoying if Batman’s costume would stay consistent along his different appearances & books.

    NIce! Can’t wait to read this.

    *groans*

    Can’t they just let Dick explore a new relationship? Does it always HAVE to be between Starfire and Babs?

    Making out with a scantily clad bright orange alien warrior princess is pretty much the polar opposite of being stealthy. Even by Gotham standards. Get a room, you two!

    @Len “Does it always HAVE to be between Starfire and Babs?”

    Winick actually addressed the on-again-off-again Dick/Kory relationship in both Outsiders and Titans, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see that come up again now that Dick’s got the cape and cowl.

    Ditto on the costume issue. Can’t they get the damn design straight — this basically is saying to me that Bruce Wayne comes back from the dead, starts macking on Dick’s lady-friend. Will definitely get the press and internets talking.

    Not written by Grant Morrison, don’t care.

  10. Matt Spatola Says:

    Dick’s proportions seem off. He has some crazy tiny ‘model’ waist that really ruins the image for me.

  11. DK Says:

    Hm.

    I had a whole string of comments.

    But Dave pretty much summed up my opinion.

    Honestly, DC needs to make up its mind. Not that it never will, but I really don’t want to see a repeat of Dick going back and forth between Starfire and Babs, particularly a la Nightwing Annual #2. In the foreshadow section of the last issue of Nightwing, DC had Dick and Babs kissing, and now they have him and Starfire making out. Maybe they honestly just don’t know what to do, just like they don’t seem to know who to designate as Batgirl (by portraying different variations of Batgirl costumes, usually captioned — or tacitly captioned — ‘who will be Batgirl?’) now that Cass is out. We get it, DC. You don’t know who Batgirl is either, nor do you seem to be able to let Dick explore a new relationship for the sanity of those who are sick of seeing Dick/Starfire AND Dick/Babs.

    I completely and totally poo-poo the costume complaints. It’s totally okay for Batman’s costume to have minor differences from book to book (presence or absence of the oval, for example) depending on what the artist prefers at the time. Any Batman.
    And the fact that he’s kissing Kory means that it’s clearly Dick, not Bruce, saying some silly detail overrides that is ridiculous.

    I did a little double take but then remembered it is Dick not Bruce. It oddly refreshing to see Batman this way, and since Starfire important enough character in the DC universe, she not going to be killed off like a number of Bruce’s paramours.
