This the New 52 NIGHTWING Action Figure

Here's a complete look at the figure that'll be shipping out real soon.

Based on the designs from the best-selling artist of Batman, Greg Capullo, comes this Nightwing action figure! This DC Comics Designer Series 1 action figure features Nightwing in his New 52 red and black outfit. Nightwing stands 6 3/4-inches tall in comes in a blister card packaging.

Seriously this figure sucks. It looks like somebody gave Jose Rizal a domino mask (not that that's a bad idea, it's actually pretty cool if you ask me). It's just off-putting.

Still, you should pick this up if you're a completist. Me, I'll just say pass on this one. The Batman figure though, whew.

Chris O'Donnell Parodies Bieber's Robin Related Photo

Salute to the last incarnation of Dick Grayson/ Robin (Chris O'Donnell) for aping that recent Justin Bieber photo...

Post by Thefanboyseo.

At the drop of a hat, I would love to see him as Robin again or even as Nightwing. But please no more pairing, just him on a solo adventure and hooking up with some chicks. Heck bring in the likes of Lady Shiva or Cassandra Cain's dad and we already have a good comic book movie.

Another FOREVER EVIL - NIGHTWING Rumor from BC

Bleedingcool  [LINK] is insinuating a new rumor related to DC Comics' FOREVER EVIL and NIGHTWING's fate in that book by Geoff Johns and David Finch.

So what happens in this new rumor???

Well according to Bleedingcool article, Grayson could be captured by the CSA (Crime Syndicate of America) and then at a later time, he will be forced to reveal his identity to the rest of the world through Superwoman's 'Lasso of Truth'. 

I still like the old rumor/ speculation that he will be beaten till an inch of his life by the now revealed CSA including Bruce Wayne's alternate Earth version, Owlman..

We don't have to wait that long because Forever Evil starts the first week of September.

13 Great Moments from Grant Morrison's BATMAN Run

Listing down the top 5 best moments from Grant Morrison's run on BATMAN in spirit of the release of last week's BATMAN INC # 13. Of course this wouldn't be original since IGN also did their take.

13. Ninja Batmen

Ain't nothing like ninjas getting a dose of the Man-Bat formula to become Ninja Batmen. Totally made my list just for being that. Repeat after me - NINJA BATMEN.

12. The Resurrection of Ras Al Ghul

Ras Al Ghul is a key figure throughout Grant Morrison's run on the Bat-books. And it's not just him but it's actually everybody in his bloodline including daughter Talia and grandson Damian (who also became the new Robin). Resurrection was one of those weird stories which was still fun to read IMHO. Plus we do get to see Batman wearing chainmail and brandishing a sword for a little while.

11. Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?

Another solid story created by the death of Batman in Batman R.I.P. This one brings in Neil Gaiman to the fold as we're offered a variety of character POVs regarding the life and times of then very dead Batman.

10. Dick Grayson Becomes Batman

Batman and Robin # 1 picks up with a new Batman (Dick Grayson) together with a now solid Damian as Robin; Tim Drake goes solo as Red Robin around this time. What's better is that the new dynamic duo is anything BUT dynamic. Morrison in some weird way gave us a bookend to Dick's career as Nightwing for a little while and also proves to be a unique Batman. Really good read.

9. Batman and the Bat Rocket

Sticking to his Golden Age and Silver Age quirks, Batman has a Bat-rocket hanging around the Batcave. It's the same rocket that him and Robin use when they try to stop Talia from taking over the Straight of Gibraltar. Makes you kinda wish you were a billionaire playboy as well.

8. Damian Becomes Robin for the First Time

It was such a great moment for Grant Morrison the moment his Damian Wayne toyed with Tim Drake and called himself the 'true' Robin. Yeah, Morrison was probably smiling when he saw that panel where Damian wore Jason Todd's uniform.

7. The Death of Damian Wayne

Ugh. Can we not talk about the death of Damian Wayne please? Let's just park this entry. If you want to know how the little dude died, here's the SPOILER

6. Talia Al Ghul is Nefarious

Not only is Talia smexy and cunning, she's also the real brains behind "Leviathan", a criminal organization bent on destroying Gotham City once and for all. The reveal was also interesting as it changes the whole dynamics between Bats and Talia. More importantly, it left their son in a very confused state of mind.

5. Bruce Wayne Unveils Batman Inc.

Shortly after his return to the land of the living, Wayne assumed control of Wayne Industries and in a stroke of genius made the startling revelation that he has been funding Batman's operation and that he is also creating Batman Incorporated. This of course leads to a new book with Morrison and various artists. It also expands the Batmen of ... concept by introducing new or revised characters. 

4. Batman Dies at the Hands of Darkseid/ Batman R.I.P.

Batman is revealed to be held captive by Darkseid's henchmen after the near fatal crash of Doctor Hurt's helicopter at the end of Batman RIP. The events of Final Crisis transpire and when all hope is lost, Batman re-emerges once more with a gun that can be used to destroy gods. Darkseid's last act before dying is to shoot down Batman with his Omega Effect instantly killing the Dark Knight...

3. Damian Wayne is Batman in Batman # 666

Another awesome moment during Morrison's run was the solo story in Batman # 666 where we find Damian Wayne as the Batman in a very twisted Gotham City. Mayhem and lots of blood letting ensue.

2. The First Appearance of Damian Wayne

So many Damian references in this list. The little scrapper did grow on me. It was a glorious cliffhanger, that issue. Damian getting introduced to his beaten father all the while holding his dad at the pointy edge of a sword. Looking back it was a shared journey between Damian and Bruce during Morrison's run. No wonder we all liked Damian by the time he died.

1. Batman Escapes Death

The old Pinoy adage 'Bahala na si Batman'  (translation: It's up to Batman now) is reinforced once again as Bruce Wayne travels forward in time while literally avoiding to getting bitten in the ass by his past (which was Darkseid's parting gift to the Dark Knight).

There you have it. Thank you Grant Morrison for the great stories. BATMAN AND ROBIN WILL NEVER DIE!

DC Planning to Hurt Nightwing in Forever Evil

Nightwing aka Dick Grayson may have dodged a major bullet back in "Infinite Crisis" thanks to fan support after news broke that Dan Didio wants to off the original Robin; but it looks like the character is in once again for September's Forever Evil event.

\

Bleedingcool ran an article regarding how Nightwing will figure into the whole 'Villain Month' and how Dick would be one of the first few heroes that going to suffer badly from this new rising threat.

If this is true then I will seriously hate Didio for his unchecked hatred for Dick. Leave the guy alone Dan. Also this makes me wonder if the guy is either a Jason Todd fan or a Tim Drake one? So far, those two have been left untouched with no threat to their fictional life whatsoever.

Harper Row - A Potential Robin

I'm always mystified with the subject of Batman character Harper Row and now that Damian Wayne is Robin, there's a strong rumor going around the comics world that this might be the chance for Row to take center stage as a new replacement for Robin. 

She first got a major push from DC Comics back in Batman # 12 which is a stand alone story, a filler issue if you will, between major arcs "Night of the Owls" and "Death of the Family". 

In this story, she shows that she's a very independent and capable woman living with her brother. She's later seen helping out Batman in the sewers as he tries to do what he does best, kicking badguy butt. Later we also find out that Harper's been invited to a party in Bruce Wayne's house. 

Great Panels and Pages from Nightwing # 0

Nightwing # 0 was released this week and while it might have failed in some aspects of Robin's life it did have a few strengths. I'd like to take the time and show some great moments for the character. This issue is written by Tom DeFalco, Kyle Higgins with art by Eddy Barrows.

In this new world it's still Tony Zucco who's responsible for the death of Dick's parents. It still happens in Haly's Circus with the only difference is that this time Dick was already been sold to the Court of Owls as the newest Talon.

The murder changes that and forces Haly to give Dick's friend Raymond to the Court to be a replacement Talon.

Batman # 0 Spoilers - The Red Hood Gang

Spoilers up for Batman # 0 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo.

How Brilliant - a Nightwing Hoodie

Now that I have disposable income again, one of the must-haves in my arsenal would have to hoodies/ long sleeves. This one just states the obvious how much of a Batman fan I am and at the same time show my love for these types of clothes.

Now why did I not think of that. A zip up jacket/hoodie featuring the old school costume design for one Nightwing also known as the former Robin and goes by the name of Dick Grayson.

But I'm definitely not doing the whole "hipster" thing. Won't work for me anyway.

Red Hood and the Outlaws # 6 Spoilers Clears Things About Starfire and Jason Todd

Scott Lobdell was not joking when he said that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg for the new, revamped Starfire and Red Hood for the book "Red Hood and the Outlaws" and RATO# 6 nails that point perfectly. 

Find out about these two after the cut.
