I just read Nightwing #47-50, part of the trade. Holy continuity, Batman! This is where Dick joins the force, and, if I'm not mistaken, he inadvertently causes the accident on 61 in which Blockbuster's mom is killed. Unless, of course, Nightwing has a habit of causing crashes on 61, which, judging by the first couple pages of the next bit, I wouldn't be surprised to hear. So what's with this 80-Page Giant thing? It's the Hella storyline, I think. How does it figure in, continuity-wise?
I had a Nightwing dream last night. Weird.
I had a dream Saturday night that was an odd cross-over of BTVS and Teen Titans. It was strange.
No, that's the accident in question. They apparently decided later that it was how Blockbuster's mother died, because that doesn't get mentioned for a few more issues.
Isn't the Giant the one where he gets married? If so, it's kind of a cul-de-sac in canon -- it gets mentioned other times (at least once by Babs, giving him grief for it), but the characters don't show back up that I know of.
That would be pretty fun. You know, there is going to be that Buffy cartoon. . .
It was live-action, though, more or less. Robin (ver. 3.0 [Tim Drake]) had the hots for Willow.
I guess Robins (of all eras) like those redheads.

Ah, something we have in common. Babs is pretty hot in this book.
I read somewhere that Nightwing was DC's answer to Spider-Man, and I'm down with that, because I definitely got a Spidey vibe from him, what with the quipping and all. (And hey! Thing for redhead!) And Blockbuster reminds me of Kingpin (at least in stature and position (everyone knows who he is, but no one can actually bring him down); their personalities are hardly similar). Except this is a much darker title, which I like.

That's what sucked me into the Batverse -- Plei (and/or Amych) told me that Nightwing was similar to Spidey, at least in the quippy area. As I am a huge Spidey fan (I plan to marry him), I thought I'd check out Nightwing. Sucked. Right. In.

You and me both.
