I'm a Super Marvel Head, Only Reading DC here and there throughout my childhood. But your videos have given me a new insight into the comic world that i thought i knew. You my friend are Uatu The Watcher. The true One Above All for all Comics.
I think it will allow some flexibility in story arcs, one minute Dick will be on the streets the next he'll be jetting off to do some undercover spying.
Lincoln March says the reason the Court of Owls gave him a second chance was due to hip plan to start the Robin War to lure Robin into the Court of Owls, and better yet to change the plan and force Dick Grayson to join once he returned.
I've pre-ordered a bunch of TPB of Rebirth. I used to buy the monthly comic books thru Preview but sometimes, the comic shop would not order enough and I would miss a number and it was touch and go to get it. I tried the digital version but it's not the same. So yeah, looking forward to read those stories next year. =\
In court of owls comic II i think 90 % sure that court had killed nightwings parents for regruiting him to become an Owl /man in time when he becomes Robin, and in Alferds letters Bruce Waine discovers something like he has a brother Tomas Waine. His younger brother was hiden, when he was 7 years old, in hospital institute couse some injurys or being in coma from car accident. That was also done by court of owls, and with regeneratine potion creates him as Owlman. Very strong and ruthles anti charachter. Real enemy of bat is owl. So Nightwing should take Batmans place after his gone.
Yes and No, well not yet. Nightwing is very popular but not as popular as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman. Batman did mention that he wanted Dick Grayson, not only to be part of the Justice League but to lead it. Also, I really want to see Nightwing in a Live Action Movie.
Ali Ahmed I like Red Hood but do they ever actually team up in the comics? I know they do some missions for Batman but actually team up? Maybe a Bat Family movie would be cool. I would prefer a Teen Titans movie or Titans movie.
+Dirty Haxor I would argue Nightwing is as important as the trio being that he's been around for as long as was a targeted appeal to the youth for over 75 years. And besides Batman and Superman, he is the most known DC character (Sorry Wonderwoman).
Death of the Family, it was revealed Joker did NOT follow Batman back to the cave. So no, he never really learned the Bat Family identity, only a mind game to trick them so they won't work together any more.
I read the first few issues and It was pretty cool how he works with raptor, and you are never really sure whether raptor is a hero or villain, kind of like snape in harry potter
With no Faust I guess I'll be the one to say it, Rob you didn't even mention Titans hunt! (Which lets be real only really deserved a small mention but still)
I Love How In The New 52, They EXPANDED His Origin. For Example, We Know Who His Friends Were, We Knew That Haily's Circus Had Secrets. We Even Know His Last Name Isn't GRAYSON... He Was Meant To Be The GRAY-SON! Get It, GRAY-SON, Not Grayson. It Is This Since He Was Suppose To Be A Talon. Also How Spyrle Is A Agent Company Where Agents Find Out Information About Superheroes, Get Their Identity, And Use Their Information AGAINST THEM! They Even Have Cool Secrets (Spryle)
Im Not a fan of Kyle Higgins run or Tim Seeley's new Solo Run on the character ( the loss of Tom King is really apparent with the Nightwing Rebirth Run) , Nightwing shouldn't be Spider-Man where he is quippy all the time but instead he should have more in common with Batman just without the Anger, so he is more Zen, cool calm and focused yet still charming but not silly or goofy. The 90's Bludhaven era really captured that and thats the best version of him, also Max Landis should be writing the character right now, as he totally understands the character and is a very talented writer as his Superman American Alien Series was amazing
Thank you dude I couldn't place it for the life of me, but throughout the entire new 52 run of Nightwing he really felt like fucking Spiderman. I mean that's not a bad thing spiderman a really cool and complex character, but I thought Nightwing was this acrobatic warrior. that he got over the grief and loss of his parents so could be better than Batman stepping out of the bats Shadow.
Amazing Zero Yeah I totally agree, its interesting cause Max Landis has been talking about Nightwing the same way you have, and it's exactly how he should be
I love Nightwing he's one of my fav characters hands down n really loving Nightwing Rebirth. Well all the Rebirth titles pretty much for that matter Lol
Still the best DC character to me. Grayson was awesome. But unfortunately rebirth seems to not know what to do with Nightwing. D. Grayson to me is and always will be the greatest hero in DC, a good plot twist I thought someone would've done by now is to have him become head Talon considering he is the gray-son of gotham.
My question about Dick Grayson: Prior to Flashpoint he was about mid to early-late twenties. In the New 52 he like everybody else was made younger. With Rebirth has he gone back to being older, or not yet. Also pre-Flashpoint his time as Robin was about 5-6 years with him starting at 11-12. In the New 52, he started when he was 16 and was Robin for a much smaller time. Has any of this been reversed with Dick or any other character, besides Superman?
character age and timelines in comic books never makes sense, and different authors and artists usually have different ideas about it. Just don't think about it too much.
I thought that it was Jean Paul Valley took over as Batman as a result Knightfall. Am I wrong ? I know Dick took up the cowl but I did not think it was as a result of Knightfall. Seems like an interesting series though.
THEORY THEORY, IMPORTANT I HAVE A REALLY BIG THEORY THAT NEEDS TO GET TO COMICSEXPLAINED , Please take the time to read... This theory is about the three jokers and yes I know it has no context here but I was thinking if we take those three jokers and put them into three categories for instance a pre crisis joker, post crisis/pre52 joker and a new 52 joker... What if these three ages of comic books now have there own worlds for example lets just call the pre crisis one earth 1 and the post crisis/pre 52 one earth 2 and the new 52 earth 3.... This is caused by Doctor Manhattan taking time from the heroes when Barry caused flashpoint. Which lead to the other jokers getting put onto the new 52 world like the pre 52 superman was (black costume silver logo and a beard, which is now the main superman). Also this works the same for Wally west (who comes back in rebirth) who is also from the pre 52 world... Also what if there is three of all our heroes in these worlds but only some came over, for example Wally, superman and joker. And I know your saying how superman tho, but if you read action comics there is a guy named Clark Kent (or superman from pre crisis) there is the pre 52 superman and the new 52 superman who just died... Hinting at the three different superman from three different ages just like the joker. This also explains why doomsday was back in his containment suit and didn't really recognize superman that much.... But that's just a theory hope you guys like. Feel free to add or take away what you see fit :)
So in dc rebirth, when Grayson becomes knight wing again, does the world still know/remember its him from forever evil? Since his identity was revealed?
Lucas Curcio + Grayson And Tiger (From Grayson Comics) Made A Machine So Only The People That Dick Knows, Like The Bat-Family, Other Superheroes, Tiger, And More, Knows His Identity, Only Civilians Don't.
I gave up on DC after Final Crisis. And the things I'm seeing here about Rebirth aren't really dragging me back in... I'll keep on just reading Marvel for now.
I'm here because I would love to go back to reading DC. So I'm trying to know more about Rebirth to see if it's a good place to start. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not catching my attention right now. :/
I have. There's a bit of exaggeration in it, but it does seem like it. They won't kill 'em, however. It's their property - and a successful one - so they wouldn't do that to themselves.
I know little about the Court of Owls story but I was always interested in it, but making the Graysons part of it sounds stupid as hell and seems like its only a thing to be a flimsy plot device
Comics are too convoluted and difficult to follow. This is why they struggle to sell issues. It becomes such a headache inducing chore to try to keep the nonsense straight that any sane person eventually gives up. I've stopped buying print comics (except for Empowered) and now just read a few web comics because each of those stories are self contained visions with consistent writing, characterization, and universe.
Ok, I understand that there is supposed to be some suspension of disbelief when it comes to comics, but there is no way they can have me believe that bomb fit inside the head of a child. There is no way they can have me believe that bomb fit inside the head of a human, period. It's way too large. There's also no way they can have me believe that Dick extracted that bomb through Damien's nose and he was ok with it.
jtbrad Damien had the head of an ogre there, so i dont really care. art was awful. Still, the bubble an be as thin as it needs to be to get the bomb out, that was the whole point of the device. Dick got it from a japanese superspy and bubble connoisseur.
Dick Grayson is one of the most important characters DC has. While not always seen as on par with Batman, Superman or the Flash, Dick Grayson represented the youth since the 1940's and has only increased in popularity as he grew out of Batman's shadow. Also, while Batman may be the reason for uniting the Bat-family, the support, strength and stability of the family usually rides on Dick Grayson, especially when Bruce is not around to be Batman.
Ryan Bobadilla Who cares about relatable nowadays? My favorite hero is Wolverine and we share nothing in common aside from being short. And my favorite character in general is Thanos who wont relate to anyone but psychopaths.
Kind of to echo what other people have said, but unlike Robin who is a partner to Batman, and Batwoman and Batgirl who both use his gimmick as their own and are spin-offs, Nightwing is the only functional member of the Bat Family that has "graduated" out of Batman's shadow. He's significant as Batman's only one true success so far of producing another crime fighter. You could argue Jason Todd stepped out of his shadow as well, but that's in a negative way, while other Robins have quit or been killed. Nightwing carries on the Bat legacy and style while being his own thing. Like an evolution of the Robin concept.
He was temporarily possessed by a super villain who's name I forgot. This villain was physically gone and could only exist by possessing an individual. To continue his schemes, his possessed victim must be purged of his identity so knowledge of Dick grayson was removed from everyone's memory and any form of records. When Dick escaped his control, he was essentially forgotten by the public. Helena Bertinelle (Huntress) who was his friend, tweaked the technology to allow certain individuals like Batman and the Robins to retain knowledge of his existence. Sorry for this rough explaination
+Yik Long Tay I think the tech that was responsible for reclaiming his secret identity was also based on Spyral tech. can someone refine my explaination? In truth, I only understood 80 percent of this story arc
Oh boy, if that is as crazy as it sounds, they should just have left his identity out in the open XD, thanks for the explanation though, haven't found the time to read Grayson, but I sure as hell want to read Nightwing Rebirth XP
You ought to read grayson. It's quite nice. I only feel unsure of the last few issues. I think that the confusing circumstances created by the final villain was kind of forced. It felt unatural probably because they were trying to manuver the story to Nightwing rebirth.
I don't really care about Nightwing. I just want to know the song that plays at the end. The music is the main reason I have subscribed to this channel.
Dick Grayson might be one of the very few things that are good in the new 52... Maybe Catwoman too. But overall, what a mess. I just can't get hooked, DC is mostly dead for me at this point.
Why hasn't Damian killed Nightwing by now? Or Batman, for that matter? From what I understand about the character, Damian is a psychopathic murder machine bent on doing whatever it takes to fuel his adolescent rage. Not that there would be anything wrong with the permanent death of Batman or Nightwing. Personally, I would like to see a massive-scale destruction of all heroes and villains in both Marvel and DC, as they long ago became tired and boring.
Grayson was popular and it was critically acclaimed? what? last I heard everyone hated that garbage. shit was ass XD everyone I talked to hated it i hated it everyone we talked to about it hated it even some comic shop clerks didn't like it. who the hell liked it?
You can never kill Nightwing dc seriously stop trying we love his character, yes Dick Grayson makes batman older deal with.
lol right?
My favorite character in the entire DC Universe.
Couldnt have guessed.
he was mine too but change to damian wayne
yup
Neo Nightwing dude same i love dick grayson
Neo Nightwing SAME
he one of my favorite characters never understood why tho he just sounded cool
Thanks for making me smile every day with your videos! :)
Is there any comic fan who can honestly say that they don't care for Dick Grayson at all?
✋
Netanya Stephen bullshit
Grayson + EXACTLY!
I'm a Super Marvel Head, Only Reading DC here and there throughout my childhood. But your videos have given me a new insight into the comic world that i thought i knew.
You my friend are Uatu The Watcher. The true One Above All for all Comics.
I think it will allow some flexibility in story arcs, one minute Dick will be on the streets the next he'll be jetting off to do some undercover spying.
the reason I like this new night wing storyline is it takes him out of batman shadow and gives him a cooler background with the spy stuff
Lincoln March says the reason the Court of Owls gave him a second chance was due to hip plan to start the Robin War to lure Robin into the Court of Owls, and better yet to change the plan and force Dick Grayson to join once he returned.
Loving this new style of videos Rob. Great job!
The two Rebirth comics I have enjoyed are Nightwing and Red Hood & the Outlaws. Nice CE video without givi g things away.
I have been loving Nightwing so far, Raptor is interesting and fun and the art is really cool and the story is interesting too.
Nightwing is my fav DC character. Just under Spiderman in terms of male comic characters. So much history and so much development over the years.
I'm actually really liking NW Rebirth.
Hey could we hear something about Terry McGinnis I've never heard anything about him outside of batman beyond the cartoon is that all there is to him
There's also Batman Beyond 2.0 but that's about it, he was an original character created for the Batman Beyond cartoon
Great job Rob! Big fan of your work.
I've pre-ordered a bunch of TPB of Rebirth. I used to buy the monthly comic books thru Preview but sometimes, the comic shop would not order enough and I would miss a number and it was touch and go to get it. I tried the digital version but it's not the same. So yeah, looking forward to read those stories next year. =\
Id subscribe again if I wasn't already. Thx a bunch I missed a lot of stuff and this video really caught me up, more Explanation videos please
he is back in blue
Yay thank you for a nightwing video, he's my favourite DC character
awesome, if you get a chance, more Nightwing vids would be awesome.
Great video and coverage!
In court of owls comic II i think 90 % sure that court had killed nightwings parents for regruiting him to become an Owl /man in time when he becomes Robin, and in Alferds letters Bruce Waine discovers something like he has a brother Tomas Waine.

That was also done by court of owls, and with regeneratine potion creates him as Owlman. Very strong and ruthles anti charachter. Real enemy of bat is owl. So Nightwing should take Batmans place after his gone.
Your a brilliant man Rob !
Sweet! DC Rebirth ftw.
I think knightwing could become the face of dc. we definetly should have already seen him in dccu.
Yes and No, well not yet. Nightwing is very popular but not as popular as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman. Batman did mention that he wanted Dick Grayson, not only to be part of the Justice League but to lead it. Also, I really want to see Nightwing in a Live Action Movie.
Well, the dead Robin is the second Robin, so wouldn't Robin 1.0 have become Nightwing already?
+Dirty Haxor how about a nightwing red hood team up movie.
Ali Ahmed I like Red Hood but do they ever actually team up in the comics? I know they do some missions for Batman but actually team up? Maybe a Bat Family movie would be cool. I would prefer a Teen Titans movie or Titans movie.
+Dirty Haxor I would argue Nightwing is as important as the trio being that he's been around for as long as was a targeted appeal to the youth for over 75 years. And besides Batman and Superman, he is the most known DC character (Sorry Wonderwoman).
that was pretty good. you should do a part2..
Nightwing is becoming my favorite dc character.
I've been reading the Nightwing Rebirth series, and so far it's really good.
Rebirth series are all fun to read...even aquaman
Hey Rob, love your channel
I was just wondering do read your comics digitally or paper
Death of the Family, it was revealed Joker did NOT follow Batman back to the cave. So no, he never really learned the Bat Family identity, only a mind game to trick them so they won't work together any more.
I read the first few issues and It was pretty cool how he works with raptor, and you are never really sure whether raptor is a hero or villain, kind of like snape in harry potter
All i could do through this whole video was think "CHIIIIINNNN!!!"
the art is seriously awful. remindes me of hand drawn shrek.
Hey Rob, was wondering if you could explain the "Gotham Academy" in a video and how it fits into the DC continuity.
I'm still curious about how they've felt with the world knowing he was Dick and that he seemingly died
Over all I'm glad the blue is back
very nice and you do Phantom stranger and The spectre?
Grayson was a great series.
With no Faust I guess I'll be the one to say it, Rob you didn't even mention Titans hunt! (Which lets be real only really deserved a small mention but still)
I Love How In The New 52, They EXPANDED His Origin. For Example, We Know Who His Friends Were, We Knew That Haily's Circus Had Secrets. We Even Know His Last Name Isn't GRAYSON...

Also How Spyrle Is A Agent Company Where Agents Find Out Information About Superheroes, Get Their Identity, And Use Their Information AGAINST THEM! They Even Have Cool Secrets (Spryle)
rob what's the name of the background music in the beginning of the video.
Im Not a fan of Kyle Higgins run or Tim Seeley's new Solo Run on the character ( the loss of Tom King is really apparent with the Nightwing Rebirth Run) , Nightwing shouldn't be Spider-Man where he is quippy all the time but instead he should have more in common with Batman just without the Anger, so he is more Zen, cool calm and focused yet still charming but not silly or goofy.

Amazing Zero Yeah I totally agree, its interesting cause Max Landis has been talking about Nightwing the same way you have, and it's exactly how he should be
I like it when he makes jokes but not too many joke. Not full spiderman. More of a healthy middle.
+izzythefizzy 4.0 Jokes*
I love Nightwing he's one of my fav characters hands down n really loving Nightwing Rebirth. Well all the Rebirth titles pretty much for that matter Lol
I love nightwing rebirth, it's my second favorite rebirth book out, titans is my #1
I'm willing to see where the solo comic goes, raptor sucks so far as a character.... Really enjoying Titans, Titans hunt was really good
Still the best DC character to me. Grayson was awesome. But unfortunately rebirth seems to not know what to do with Nightwing. D. Grayson to me is and always will be the greatest hero in DC, a good plot twist I thought someone would've done by now is to have him become head Talon considering he is the gray-son of gotham.
yay dc content
what is the name of the music in the beginning
Nightwing is my favorite superhero
Nightwing rebirth is actually pretty good
Nice vid
I need to catch up on B&R Eternal!!
My question about Dick Grayson: Prior to Flashpoint he was about mid to early-late twenties. In the New 52 he like everybody else was made younger. With Rebirth has he gone back to being older, or not yet. Also pre-Flashpoint his time as Robin was about 5-6 years with him starting at 11-12. In the New 52, he started when he was 16 and was Robin for a much smaller time. Has any of this been reversed with Dick or any other character, besides Superman?
I think with the new ReBirth everyone lost 10 years of their lifetime or something like that.
Yeah, that was what I was thinking,
character age and timelines in comic books never makes sense, and different authors and artists usually have different ideas about it. Just don't think about it too much.
That is probably the best method. I guess I will just have a headcannon then.
Nightwing Rebirth, in my opinion, is currently better than Batman Rebirth.
Nightwing rebirth is pretty good so far in my opinion
I am super happy that nightwing aka dick Grayson is back in blue
What the name of the music at the beginning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+!
Been searching for this track for ever.
I thought that it was Jean Paul Valley took over as Batman as a result Knightfall. Am I wrong ? I know Dick took up the cowl but I did not think it was as a result of Knightfall. Seems like an interesting series though.
+ComicsExplained can you do red hood rebirth
It's awesome
Did I already ask how did people forget Nightwing's identity?
Artrose Maloca + Dick And Tiger Made A Machine, And Set It For Everyone (Except The People Dick Knows) To Forget His Identity.
Can you make a video about Hellboy? No one has done it.
There are people who've do videos on the character.
i. fucking. LOVE NIGHTWING
Is it just me or does Raptor remind you of Slade Wilson a little? maybe?
THEORY THEORY, IMPORTANT I HAVE A REALLY BIG THEORY THAT NEEDS TO GET TO COMICSEXPLAINED , Please take the time to read...

I think we need a video on Lex Luthor
do you have a podcast?
The Robins Gang was formed by Duke Thomas......
No it wasn't, it was around before he joined
But he was the one to group them up, make them a team, and lead them. That's why I say he formed them rather than founded.
Reny Bryant They were already a team and had a leader before him
Could someone tell what track is playing at the end?

Grayson Da Gawd!!!!!!! $
"Damien's first death" wat
:3 hey rob
So what I wanna do here
Carl Wåger is reply to this old comment...
So in dc rebirth, when Grayson becomes knight wing again, does the world still know/remember its him from forever evil? Since his identity was revealed?
Lucas Curcio + Grayson And Tiger (From Grayson Comics) Made A Machine So Only The People That Dick Knows, Like The Bat-Family, Other Superheroes, Tiger, And More, Knows His Identity, Only Civilians Don't.
When did the Court of Owls put the bomb in Damien's head???
Robin War.

I gave up on DC after Final Crisis. And the things I'm seeing here about Rebirth aren't really dragging me back in... I'll keep on just reading Marvel for now.
TiagoNomad why are you here?rebirth is awesome, but I gotta respect your opinion
I'm here because I would love to go back to reading DC. So I'm trying to know more about Rebirth to see if it's a good place to start. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not catching my attention right now. :/
TiagoNomad have you heard that marvel is killing off the x men.I think it had something to do with fox and disney
I have. There's a bit of exaggeration in it, but it does seem like it. They won't kill 'em, however. It's their property - and a successful one - so they wouldn't do that to themselves.
I know little about the Court of Owls story but I was always interested in it, but making the Graysons part of it sounds stupid as hell and seems like its only a thing to be a flimsy plot device
Are the Owls connected to the Joker in any way? It would be an interesting development if they were.
As far as I know, no. They are not connected.
F. Juarez Thanks, I'm not up on comics anymore like I used to be.
What so the world knew that nightwing was dick Grayson before be was supposed to die? Or did the world just know he was a crime fighter?
what is this dnb song?

Comics are too convoluted and difficult to follow. This is why they struggle to sell issues.

I've stopped buying print comics (except for Empowered) and now just read a few web comics because each of those stories are self contained visions with consistent writing, characterization, and universe.
the cover rebirth nightwing looks odd (his stick looks so short)
"stick" "short" HAH!
that's what she said
it's gud
Ok, I understand that there is supposed to be some suspension of disbelief when it comes to comics, but there is no way they can have me believe that bomb fit inside the head of a child. There is no way they can have me believe that bomb fit inside the head of a human, period. It's way too large. There's also no way they can have me believe that Dick extracted that bomb through Damien's nose and he was ok with it.
You're forgetting that they have more advanced tech than us.
the bomb was a small chip inside that pink bubble. the pink bubble was created inside of damians nose to wrap the bomb and extract it.
The pink bubble was still way too large and exaggerated. It was almost a quarter the size of Damien's head.
jtbrad Damien had the head of an ogre there, so i dont really care. art was awful.
Still, the bubble an be as thin as it needs to be to get the bomb out, that was the whole point of the device.
Dick got it from a japanese superspy and bubble connoisseur.
I know I'm making a big thing out something small. It just stood out to me and bugged me.
how did everyone forget that Nightwing is Dick Grayson?
He used a satellite from Spyral to erase everyone's (Except for a few) memories of him.
They used some bullshit excuse to get him into the tights again. it was lazy.
I thought that Nightwing rebirth was decent. I don't really love it or hate it.
Why is everyone so crazy about Nightwing? He is just another member of Bat family.
idk lol. i just love the character from start to where he is now.
Dick Grayson is one of the most important characters DC has. While not always seen as on par with Batman, Superman or the Flash, Dick Grayson represented the youth since the 1940's and has only increased in popularity as he grew out of Batman's shadow. Also, while Batman may be the reason for uniting the Bat-family, the support, strength and stability of the family usually rides on Dick Grayson, especially when Bruce is not around to be Batman.
Because Dick Grayson is more relatable than Bruce Wayne will ever be.
Ryan Bobadilla
Who cares about relatable nowadays? My favorite hero is Wolverine and we share nothing in common aside from being short. And my favorite character in general is Thanos who wont relate to anyone but psychopaths.
Kind of to echo what other people have said, but unlike Robin who is a partner to Batman, and Batwoman and Batgirl who both use his gimmick as their own and are spin-offs, Nightwing is the only functional member of the Bat Family that has "graduated" out of Batman's shadow.

does Dick get his secret identity back somehow, before going back to being nightwing? somebody please tell me...
He was temporarily possessed by a super villain who's name I forgot. This villain was physically gone and could only exist by possessing an individual. To continue his schemes, his possessed victim must be purged of his identity so knowledge of Dick grayson was removed from everyone's memory and any form of records. When Dick escaped his control, he was essentially forgotten by the public.

You ought to read grayson. It's quite nice. I only feel unsure of the last few issues. I think that the confusing circumstances created by the final villain was kind of forced. It felt unatural probably because they were trying to manuver the story to Nightwing rebirth.
Technically your videos are lectures, not discussions. But I guess you are stuck with your catchphrases now
I don't really care about Nightwing. I just want to know the song that plays at the end. The music is the main reason I have subscribed to this channel.
Do Donna Troy Rebirth. Now THAT is confusing as hell.
Soulkey sbr I support this.
Hi
Dick Grayson might be one of the very few things that are good in the new 52... Maybe Catwoman too. But overall, what a mess. I just can't get hooked, DC is mostly dead for me at this point.
Why hasn't Damian killed Nightwing by now? Or Batman, for that matter? From what I understand about the character, Damian is a psychopathic murder machine bent on doing whatever it takes to fuel his adolescent rage.

Grayson was popular and it was critically acclaimed? what? last I heard everyone hated that garbage. shit was ass XD everyone I talked to hated it i hated it everyone we talked to about it hated it even some comic shop clerks didn't like it. who the hell liked it?
My favorite character in the entire DC Universe.
