Does anybody care for Dick as an actual character?Because most of his “fans” I see are just coomers, need a token happy guy for the batfamily, or are Babs self inserters who want their nerd to be with the hot popular guy.
>>147128631No.

>>147128631True Dickheads™ actually like his character, like his complicated history with Batman, his beginnings as Robin, grappling with his legacy, his family, his friends, the Titans, etc.It's easy to say "oh he's the funny grown up Robin with the big butt", but Dick is an actually complicated character with some genuine fans.>Babs self inserters who want their nerd to be with the hot popular guy.Funny, cause most people I see just want Dick to get back with Kory and some even want Babs to be gay with Black Canary, but those are usually himejoshis.
Most of the Robins' fans are just fujos.Jason has slightly bigger non fujo fanbase due to men liking his guns, him telling Batman off in the one story they know, and self inserting as him and pretending he is a big pussy slayer.Tim DID have a good non fujo portion of fanbase via the nerds who self inserted as him during the 90s and mid 00s but new 52 destroyed him so bad the fujos are all that are left.
>>147129539>Most of the Robins' fans are just fujos.I think this is really the case. It's just slightly autistic women all getting in arguments over which black-haired blue-eyed boy is best.
>>147129539You left out the pedos and shotafags that like Damian.
>>147128631Yes, stop making this thread
>>147128631He's my favorite character in DC Comics.
>>147128631Outside of the A-listers only a few people care about any other comic book fan and a good proportion of those people are larping and don't really care. So many comic book characters have really been so all over the place and he B and C listers even more so that I don't see any sustainable fans. A big proportion will be coomers, cosplayers and the other c's. There will be some general people who do care but they are in the minority but then again, it is like that for everyone bar a few.
>>147128631i think injustice killed him and i dont mean that is some meta-philosophical way he got fucking deaded by a tween with a stick at the point when no one knew what to do with the character (aside from spiral)
I liked him in the old titans runs that's it
>>147128631>Does anybody care for Dick as an actual character?Yes, but these are a minority and it's not just Dick, its' every chracter. Movies, shows, comics. New fans don't care about the characters, but rather how much they can project into the character and mold them to their own expectations. This is why they don't care about canon any more, and they talk about "coded". They're absolute imbeciles who should be playing with legos, not reading about established characters.
>>147129817Dick is better as a Cyclops ripoff than the sunshine oniichan they make him when he's with the batfamily. Shame DC can't make a good Titans book to save their life though.
He's easily one of the most interesting Bat related characters we have now given his history and more upbeat personality. He has been the highlight of the World's Finest book too I think.
>>147128631Fans of superhero characters are retards.
>>147129815The '10s and early '20s were fucking ROUGH for Dick.>kept jobbing out in all the Arkham games>kept jobbing out in all the DCAMU movies>died embarrassingly in Injustice and Damian took his name>was going to be the dead Robin in the DCEU>his first book got destroyed 4 times in 29 issues for various crossovers and events>got Forever Evil'd>spy gig got ruined 2 years in and ended with a wet fart>was Ric for longer than he was a spy in a good book>got Taylor'd in 2 different books (3 if you include Injustice)
>>147128631the reason Dick isn't a miserable asshole/cunt like all the rest is because he isn't from the toxic hellhole that is Gotham Citythat's why people like him
>>147130118World's Finest turned to shit after the first couple arcs
>>147128631I'm a Jason fag but I like old man Ric too. How can you not? He's the original Robin. There should be at least one version everyone can enjoy, there's so many of him over the years.
Another seething thread about based dick
>>147130147I'm a fan of superhero characters, especially those who are bitch basic altruistic boy scouts. Sure a cast full of them would lead for an extremely boring story, but in Dick's case it'd be more who you pit him against and not so much who you team him up with.If that makes me retarded then so be it, and it's what I like.
>>14712863Grayson fans>Morrison FanboysThey like Morrison >Shippers, gays, women and so on...Because Grayson is always in relationship dramaAnd that's it1Grayson fans>Morrison FanboysThey like Morrison >Shippers, gays, women and so on...Because Grayson is always in relationship dramaAnd that's it
>>147129815Nightwing had to go for one single solitary purpose.As long as he was around Batman would never go evil and Damian would be a good robin/kid. Every single piece of media says that he's the heart of the team and as long as he's around Damian is litterally the good fun kid robin who plays off of Nightwing well. Him dying means shows the narrative importance the character has to the batman story.
>>147131404How is he based, he has like 4 good runs/stories with none of them being during his time as Nightwing
>>147130118Dick isn’t interesting in the slightest. He’s a fun character, sure, but nothing about him is particular complex or leaves me wanting to know more about HIM and HIS lore. Doesn’t help that most of the shit they try to add to his lore is just changing is origin for the worst (his dad had another kid!, his mom had a Snape!, some other important guy watched his parents die!, he was actually suppose to be an assassin!, etc)
>>147133314Taylor's run was bland as hell and Bea sucked but putting pirates in Bludhaven's history was cool. That particular arc though was really decompressed though like he put 1 issues worth stretched out into 3. Probably could've been padded with flashbacks to the origin of the pirate shit or something.
>>147128631Nightwing fans are made up of:1. Coomers (women and gays)2. Coomers (straights who self-insert as him to fuck Kory or Babs or whatever)3. Actual fans (RARE)
>>147128631I love Dick more as Robin than Nightwing desu
