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.
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.

I love this guy.
Who's this Clancy girl? She shows up in these issues, and she was mentioned in the recent ones. What's her significance?
I'm reading, and I suddenly guess that the numbers Hella's leaving on people are badge numbers. I turn the page, and I was right! Go me! (But geez, Dick, couldn't you have taken a little bit longer to figure it out, so I could feel special?)
She's the landlady from his apartment.
(At least in "A Knight in Bludhaven" and "Rouch Justice" -- which are the only two earlier tpbs I've read.)
Not the landlady - the building manager.
Isn't the Giant the one where he gets married?
Nope, or at least, not this giant one. Doesn't the marriage thing pre-date him having his own title?

Originally, she's the manager type at 1013 Parkthorne, but then she goes off to med school. As she is female, there was some flirtation between 'em.

Yep. Also, a hottie -- she and Dick almost had something going, until he and Babs got together.
Wow. It's a three-way Clancy crosspost!
That makes me so happy.

Okay, just a recurring character. Thanks.
Yep. Also, a hottie
Aren't all comic book women, by definition, hotties? They're drawn by men, after all.

There are women artists! I'm sure Pete could list 'em!
Among the other things I re-read this weekend was the Half a Life storyline in Gotham Central. Damn, that's heartbreaking.
