Essential Robin & Nightwing Comics

The quintessential superhero sidekick has gone through many incarnations in his 80-plus years of existence. Dick Grayson has outgrown the role to become Nightwing, Jason Todd has suffered a tragic end only to make his way back to the fold, Tim Drake has shown that the role of Robin is more than comic relief, Stephanie Brown made her mark if only briefly, and Damian Wayne has turned the dynamic duo into a family thing. Each new character brings something new to the mythos. These are the essential Robin and Nightwing Comics.
Top Ten ranks as follows:
10 - Super Sons
9 - Robin Rises
8 - On Wings
7 - Robin: Year One
6 - Under the Hood
5 - War Games
4 - Black Mirror
3 - A Lonely Place of Dying
2 - The Judas Contract
1 - A Death in the Family

Love your videos, currently reading through your top 100 fantastic four issues. Hope you'll keep 'em coming, they're great👍

[@BenGrimm1961]

My favorite Nightwing stories are: The Tom Taylor books and Chuck Dixon books. Dick Grayson is the 3rd Oldest DC superhero ever! He is older than Wonder Woman! Grayson first appeared in 1940 while Wonder Woman first appeared in 1941.

No love for the Peter Tomasi Nightwing run? I thought that was one of his classic runs. Can you do one for Ra's Al Ghul? I think that he deserves one. They should have kept Jason Todd dead.

I confess I was never much of a fan of Robin or sidekicks in general, but ever since I read the post-Crisis stories of Jason Todd as Robin, I've changed my mind. In fact, I consider Jason to be the best Robin, largely because of the stories written by Jim Starlin. He was a complex character, with various issues of insecurity and fear of abandonment, which frequently surfaced in his stories (such as in Teen Titans where Donna Troy invites him to a rescue team and tries to make him the leader). Many characters always tended to compare him to Grayson (consciously or not), and this always affected his self-esteem, making him feel inferior and afraid of being abandoned by Bruce for not fulfilling his role well. Not to mention Bruce himself making him Robin with the intention of pulling him away from a life of crime, and he was making progress (despite setbacks) until the tragic "Death in the Family" storyline. "Cheer" by Chip Zdarsky was also a good recent story of the character, in my view, bringing out his best while not completely ignoring what he did as Red Hood after his resurrection.

I’m fond of Tim Drake, but that comes from getting into comics in the 90s. But I like Jason a lot. DC kinda screwed him up from the start - trying to make him a Grayson facsimile, with a nearly identical origin story - and then they screwed up fixing the screw up. But Jason has a lot of untapped potential.

You could have just done an entire video on Chuck Dixon's input on the character alone!

Do you have an order for these collections Batman: Dark Knight Detective and Caped Crusader and batman by Doug Moench?

[@comicbelief]

Batman: the Caped Crusader has six volumes and covers early post-Crisis issues from the Batman series. Batman: the Dark Knight Detective has eight volumes and does the same thing for early post-Crisis issues of Detective Comics. At that time, the two series only crossed over on occasion, so they impacted little on each other. The thing is that these collections don’t include storylines already collected elsewhere. A proper reading order would go like this: Batman Year One Batman: Year Two Batman: Second Chances The Caped Crusader v1 A Death in the Family The Dark Knight Detective v1 The Caped Crusader v2 A Lonely Place of Dying The Dark Knight Detective v2 The Caped Crusader v3 The Dark Knight Detective v3 The Caped Crusader v4 The Dark Knight Detective v4 The Caped Crusader v5 The Dark Knight Detective v5 The Caped Crusader v6 The Dark Knight Detective v6 The Dark Knight Detective v7 The Dark Knight Detective v8 Which takes us into the Knightfall storyline. Keep in mind that you don’t have to read the other collections to fully enjoy Caped Crusader and Dark Knight Detective. Most of their stories are self contained within a few issues. All you need to be aware is that, between the stories, a Robin falls and another Robin appears. Batman by Doug Moench and Kelley Jones has two volumes and stories are set in the 1990s, post-Knightfall. Hope this helps.
