Nightwing Gets His Own "Gotham" (Nightwing Rebirth: Bludhaven)

[@comics_explained]

HOLY SHIT, HOW MUCH DO YOU GUYS WANNA BET THAT IT'S DAMIAN FROM INJUSTICE?!!!!!

[@vwhbj2003]

ComicsExplained can you go over spectre. id love to hear about him.

[@davidlevy2705]

ComicsExplained do overwatch web comics

[@Lynch2507]

ComicsExplained OMFG IT ACTUALLY IS, LONG HAIR, RED LOGO

[@douglasbaptiste2969]

ComicsExplained what is some characters are from the prenew 52 like lobo what happened to the clean cut fuck boi lobo or or or like walley west and super man he was some how taken out but somthing but he lost his memeory bit fragments still stayed and it would make more sense that he would choose blood haven all of the sudden or what if thats the pre new 52 robin that was watching all those events unfold

[@JediAcolyte94]

ComicsExplained Do you think you can do some Star Wars comics like Darth Vader and Lost Command, Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison, Tales of the Jedi, Invasion, Knights of the Old Republic, or Jango Fett Open Seasons? All of them are good reads and are on par with any DC and Marvel comic storyline.

[@comics_explained]

THE BEST ASS IN COMICS!!

[@SynapticWyrm]

SO RIGHT LMAO

[@blackflagsnroses6013]

ComicsExplained 😄😄😄😄

[@oatmat]

I hate that they've sexualized Nightwing, It honestly reminds me of "Batman & Robin" with all the ASS shots in the beginning

[@DCJ134VIDS]

Lmfao, I was laughing so hard when I saw that. Literally came out of left field. 😂😂💀

[@lucasmantoani4453]

Hahahaha

[@MuuToo]

D.C. rebirth is the best thing to come out of D.C. Rebirth.

[@TheBatman135]

Muu Too are you referring to the very first one shot issue? if so, I agree. Fantastic issue.

[@jacobelavalle7065]

[@TevyaSmolka]

Muu Too indeed

[@robineveryonelovesthedrake6795]

Yes

[@majinsole8554]

It's like, they were born, and then- they were born AGAIN! I'm pretty sure there's a word for that... ~_~

[@RizenLink]

I wish they'd show Nightwing as a more capable fighter. He's always getting his butt kicked.

[@jonahda0mega]

RizenLink read battle of the cowl or Grayson #0 after forever evil

[@Dxsmp]

RizenLink they got 2 put respect on his name

[@jiggerman2289]

RizenLink I think maybe he's still a little bit unsure of himself after Tim Drake's "death".

[@blindninja9149]

Lol dont watch Dcamu then

[@thedarkspecter9532]

What's truly amazing about Rebirth is how they've managed to keep up an amazing pace of releases with stellar storytelling. It's such a great time to be a DC fan.

[@greatparthos]

D.C. Rebirth is GODLIKE! So many titles are done so well! I hear Justice League is struggling right now

[@Dylankiwi1]

theindiandood the only okay/ mediocre titles are justice league but I liked issue 14, birds of prey, superwoman was interesting then got boring and too much exposition for one of the issues, supergirl quite forgettable but supergirl being super is good, cyborg is one but I think vol 2 is improving. The rest of the titles are pretty solid, some enjoyable, really good and few AMAZING. Can't be bothered listing all of them and your right.

[@greatparthos]

Nerd Zone! Yeah but relatively when all other titles are practically soaring in sales and in quality. You know? For some reason I had a tough time reading first two issues of Blue Beetle. I don't know what it was but I didn't get into it until later issues. Any idea how Deathstroke is? I've heard similar things to JL

[@damienlee54]

Three Jokers, two Nightwings, and one crazy tie-in to bring it all together.

[@ShockwaveITB]

Rob you have to keep doing this series. Nightwing is my favorite and now there are two of him.. of them...of they... two Nightwings. yesssss

[@thedarkspecter9532]

Just when I was running out of Comicsexplained videos! Thanks again Rob!

[@CosmicNerdStudios]

i love the idea of these villains having a support group SO GOOD

[@Hardcore_Hybrid]

15:35 i wasnt ready

[@w1lDstYLe]

man I love Marvel, but DC has been killin it.

[@maloe8532]

Jimmy Hank could not agree more

[@shadowwriter4538]

I agree

[@magneto9210]

Overall, yeah, but Marvel has its gems. Literally anything by Jason Aaron is great right now, Jeff Lemire has been doing very well with Moon Knight and Old Man Logan, and there's a certain Vision story arc that just finished up that was amazing, just for examples.

[@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881]

That and marvel is killing themselves. Their mcu and tv shows connected to it is successful but everything after that is just half assed and has a force fed political agenda.

[@magneto9210]

***** Ehh "political agenda" is a bit of an exaggeration. Yeah they've been switching a lot of characters to women or minorities and that kind of thing, but it's not so much about politics as it is about pandering to people of certain social perspectives and profiting from them. I mean whatever, it's dumb, but it's not like they're trying to brainwash anyone, just making money as usual.

[@connorc741]

Ok so clearly Dr Manhattan has an invested interest in Nightwing and Superman

[@Kishimyu]

YES! I personally own all of the released Nightwing Rebirth comics but I love to see and hear your take on the story. Nightwing was the real reason I started reading DC comics. I'm so happy he's his own hero now.

[@NobleFlare]

Did not see 15:49 coming in a million years.

[@persimmonss]

but we all saw it

[@Yeepride987]

15:31 This really came out of left field haha. Great job Rob! :P

[@TheMajonson]

I have learned so much about comic books from this channel. Thanks for all of your hard work Rob!!!

[@volktol4432]

Dick Grayson and Johnny Cage, the two straightest men to ever do the splits

[@caseyjones8246]

Gorilla Grodd, Gorilla Grim. King Shark, The Orca. His own rogues gallery you say? Ha

[@SA80TAGE]

When every concievable character and/or powerset has already been used, how would YOU create new characters or give a character their own rogues. I can garuntee you that any character you can come up with will just be a copy of an already existing one.

[@SA80TAGE]

Your insult is as original as those carbon copy characters... and yet you call me simple minded? Now THAT'S funny! XD

[@SA80TAGE]

No, you missed the point when Rob Explained that these characters already existed, they were just not very well known... which gives the writer free reign to do whatever he wishes with them without it affecting any other titles. And as I already stated, any "new" character they came up with would just be compared to a pre-existing one anyway, so what difference does it make?

[@caseyjones8246]

Samur/Aye Studios now I know you're truly stupid, no one uses that insult in the manner I just used in, or the way it's worded.

[@WitchVulgar]

ComicsExplained is the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth.

[@michaelrodriguez7667]

He's called "Deathwing."

[@austincole7286]

we all know why Nightwing is drawn showing his back and its not to look dramatic

[@mastergrayson3091]

It's because he has no cape and he's keeping the trend that arcrobats and high flyers need.

[@denzellmovies]

I highly doubt that guy at the end is New 52 Nightwing, because that would mean the Nightwing we've been reading about is pre-Flashpoint Nightwing. Eventough in Nightwing #9 it's clear he doesn't remember the pre-Flashpoint world like pre-Flashpoint Superman does, and it doesn't make any sense for this Nightwing to be any other version of Nightwing. I'm pretty sure the guy is William Cobb, Dick's great great grandfather who was a Talon for the Court of Owls. In the image we get to see at the end, his skin seems to be lighter and his hair is a lot longer than Dick's, just like William Cobb. In the sollicitian for Nightwing 17 it even says the two will be fighting and the line "Too bad there's only room in this town for one of me." is probably refering to someone of William Cobb's bloodline.

[@cblaze1366]

Good theory

[@boondocks123o]

well said.

[@londiebanks4738]

Your videos are awesome. Keep up the good work. Very glad you're covering nightwing. He my favorite DC character and definitely deserves more of the spotlight!!!

[@randalevans1441]

I wish I could like this video a thousand times! Great job 👍🏼

[@blindninja9149]

Nightwings of rogues were Blockbuster and Deathstroke I think

[@sze45asoi]

Keep up with this arc please!

[@Rahhelthethird]

2:00 I love how Damian steals from Xavier.

[@Himothy_Wayne]

Plain and simple, your channel is awesome. You have such an iconic narrative voice and give very thorough explainantions of these storylines. One character I'd really like you to tackle would be Marvel's Jack O'Lantern. Sure I can go and read a Wiki on him and what not, which I've done so in the past, but you explaining his origin would be pretty cool. Cheers!

[@freddieawsome1]

Red Nightwing has to be a poser, that's the only way this makes sense.

[@patrickedmknd9333]

rob is the man!!! do I see a milli coming up!!! early congrats you deserve it!!!! salute!

[@sm0ky12]

Yes! New comics explained video , man i gotta say you are the best you tuber. Have you read the newest batman issue rob, the batfamily interaction is amazing, have not laughed that much in a while

[@FelipeVargasMagdaleno]

The best ass in comics! Your videos get so much better when you throw jokes like that here and there. Don't get me wrong, your videos are great, but you are funny, I'd like to see more of that. Best!

[@Revas001]

bruh, that was a bombshell I didn't except that shit. I am continuing to love DC rebirth

[@OEMPlus]

Magnificent as always sir!

[@fcm3d]

I blame the blue naked guy.

[@Blackstaar52]

could you imagine if this guy did american history explained. . . holy crap dude, someone take this idea and start a youtube channel because i know it will be a hit

[@spaceinvader9815]

Ok, I think it is either injustice nightwing, aka Damian Wayne or, the earth 3 Richard Grayson that Owlman was referring to in Forever Evil.

[@Chandasouk]

I never got to read Dixon's Nightwing, but am really like this run in Bludhaven even if it's a bit predictable.

[@brandenlewis5411]

bro! I'm crying. the best ass in comics part caught me off guard.

[@kairon156]

Awesome video. I never knew much about Nightwing before other than he was with Batman and apart of Batman Beyond... I think.

[@wangfahong]

dc rebirth is the best thing to come out of dc rebrith

[@darkmindaustin]

Theory: When Batman was brought wholesale over, as the original batman, that they brought the whole bat family. That, unlike Old Superman, they were integrated, memory speaking, into the New 52 universe, as a means for Dr. Manhattan to have friends, when he fights Ozymandias.

[@mr.dccomics9018]

Good....Rob...Good...I glad your discovering why DC is so much better than Marvel..... Good...Rob...Good...

[@Magur]

Nightwing did have his own Rogues Gallery, in the Nightwing comics Chuck Dixon did there were a number of them.

[@tomasvaldes2688]

What a FREAKING TWIST!!! BETWEEN THIS AND THE WONDERWOMAN REBIRTH ENDING I'm gonna start crying.

[@IXthKingz]

It's Deathwing. Appeared during the Teen/Team Titans stuff. Pre-52, he believed he was Dick Grayson from future, but turned out he wasn't. He had NIPPLE RINGS! lol But Tim Seeley is gonna obviously switch up somethings to keep it fresh. So I can't wait!

[@oatmat]

I like the Ideas of Tim Sealey but I don't like his writing especially how he writes Nightwing, he continues the trend started by Grant Morrison 9 years ago to write Nightwing as the exact opposite of Batman so basically The Spider-Man of DC. The BEST version of Nightwing is from the 90's Bludhaven era, where he was Batman but without the anger, so very Zen Like, still focussed, smart, determined, cool and charming but not overtly quippy, or even sexualized, and the 90's Bludhaven version stands out as a real hero who is still flawed yet incredibly powerful as he should be.

[@eggsbenedictcucumberbatch4336]

The RED Samurai actually nightwing was the first male dc character to be sexualised google it.

[@oatmat]

Oh I know, but there's a difference between being gratuity and class which is something that DC and a lot of fans have forgotten when it comes to this character, also what did you think about the rest of the paragraph.

[@loganflowers564]

The RED Samurai I mean technically dick grayson was created first

[@brandontriplin5447]

The RED Samurai I like the change

[@ikastolaxy4375]

Still, is a welcome change to the character, is not as bad as the New 52 Nightwing.

[@BloodThePunk]

Only a few minutes in but already love it thanks bro

[@russhopista5474]

so blue night wing isnt from this time line doesnt that mean he knows who wally west is

[@cmbaz1140]

i think nightwing did become so popular because, we all saw how he grew up and was raised and trained by batman , we actually saw him slowly change .

[@KhemBMD]

"I feel like I've been missing out on his amazing world of DC comics" that makes me so happy bc I've never gotten the hate between DC and marvel fans

[@SeriousRereader]

When he said Batman doesn't know how to really love anyone, including his adopted sons. He does really love them, he just doesn't show it. It's not who he is. It's not that he's incapable of love.

[@trashbinge]

I think that during convergence nightwing from an almost identical universe was thrown in with all the new 52 hero's assuming it was his universe because the universes were so alike while new 52 nightwing stopped being grason and took his costume and left he want to bludhaven to hide while this other nightwing took his place that's why this nightwing was questioning what he was taught when raptor asked him if what he was doing was actually amounting to anything because new 52 nightwing wouldent question what batman taught him and he wouldn't be as open to everything that want down in this story because new 52 nightwing totally just acted like batman and barely had any trust for people he meets

[@SynapticWyrm]

My favorite DC guys are Dr Fate and nightwing

[@bryansuminski7543]

Its really nice to see you all excited about the ending along with the total nerd moment when it was spoiled for you. And maybe they're doing the same thing here as they did with Superman. So the old Nightwing has been in the backdrop watching everything not seeing a need to interfere directly but more in the shadows.

[@teeemtee5739]

DC Rebirth is godlike bro

[@PeppySweetheart]

0:18 At least he noticed it

[@joshuaalexisja]

RED X INCOMING

[@liverusrock6789]

Kytoflame that would be dope!

[@sbusisophiri9207]

My Favorite Video of 2017 so far, lmao so well put together. and you do have a point in bring up that DC writters and artist really seem to have a thing for making sure you get crazy detailed shots of Dic Grayson's butt EVERY WHERE lol.

[@taylorchance4386]

I enjoy revisiting the earlier Nightwing Rebirth issues, how they went from something so true to character that reminds me of the Chuck Dixon issues from my childhood to latest edgeboi Ric' Grayson baffles me. But I guess that's editorial and the changing of creative teams for ya'.

[@AstaIsAMonster]

Damn DC Is fucking killing it right now and my wallet can't take it lol and best ass in comics lol and I was fucking shocked when they showed the other Nightwing can't wait to see what happens next

[@Daddy_Kaiju]

Just adding to the discussion and just in case no one mentioned it, The "New 52" Nightwing who showed up at the end of the issue is more than likely Deathwing from the 90's Team Titans book who never was really confirmed to be Dick in the first place. It's actually one of the biggest unresolved plot lines that has been bugging me for about 20ish years.

[@eligamerman]

Can't wait to get the collected volume of this arc!

[@supermegapizzaguy808]

I'm sure I've said it before, but your voice is just fucking awesome!

[@yoursafeplace8476]

Thanks for that #bestassincomics moment, I fuckin laughed so hard, stomach cramped, face hit keyboard.

[@xXforeverinsaneXx]

ok this might be a far stretch but maybe this is the nightwing that "died" in injustice, but was brought into continuity by Dr. Manhattan, or he is just a robot.

[@carlmia305]

Theory time Wally is really the wally from pre new 52 and when he touch the titans he brought over the pre new 52 people, cause speed force ?

[@ethanolmuffins]

Carl P cool theory but speed force already existed

[@carlmia305]

wait what that doesn't have anything to do with what I said

[@manamonglegends8787]

this better be the reason

[@emanuelpoitevien1885]

speed force aka plot device

[@Negate305]

sooo their all pre new 52 version of themselves OMG they can bring back oracle.

[@agoosewithtwohats4443]

OH YEAH BABY SHAKE THOSE WINGS

[@whitemustard816]

Has anyone ever said you sound like the Neil Degrasse Tyson of comics.

[@callmeinstead]

Yeah well New 52 Nightwing and the Damian Wayne from Injustice both have the red bird on the chest. The problem is the long hair, which I definitely do not recall Dick ever having in the New 52. But why would the Injustice Damian be here? Also, did they ever explain why Nightwing went from red to blue?

[@Dylankiwi1]

callmeinstead 2 reason they rectoned it so pretending that never happened or something happened with the missing 5 yrs that cause him to change its colour.

[@stannisthemannis6994]

callmeinstead Injustice 2 is coming out and the dc rebirth continuity is still being fleshed out. it's a solid theory imo

[@magneto9210]

I remember he had long hair in one episode of the Teen Titans cartoon, but the costume was the same.

[@matthewsterk9269]

callmeinstead Red was his costume for the New 52. But when he finally became Nightwing again, he went with his original Blue.

[@alchemiathena3814]

nightwing is one of my favorite super hero's

[@shadowsofsaddness]

One word: Clones. Ok but real talk it would be cool if the red nightwing was just an older nightwing either from this or another universe

[@SamaritanPrime]

It could very well be Injustice Nightwing (Damien Wayne). The figure is wearing a red version of Nightwing's symbol, and he also has long black hair. Injustice Damien looks exactly like that. It could also be an evil clone.

[@josemeza8606]

the best a.ss in comics part caught me off gaurd.😂😂😂

[@pavelgarcia4580]

I thought I was beginning to understand the transition from New 52 to Rebirth and then this happens?? WTF? I'm loving Rebirth!!!!

[@time391]

Could DC being doing a Dr. Manhattan vs. Spectre Storyline? Like, Pre-crisis heroes are going to be popping in to help fight the big bad with help from Spectre, who would be one of the few heroes able to match Dr. Mnhatan.

[@steverogers6886]

I never leave KZbin comments, but I have to make an exception here. The Best Ass In Comics! Dude! That had me rolling XD

[@aflyingmodem]

Wasn't expecting that bomb at all LOL

[@lightningcomet7307]

maybe that nightwing in red is actually Talon. Talon is the the Earth-3 Crime Syndicate version of Dick Grayson, Owlman's first sidekick. I know Owlman said he was dead, but maybe he survived. That's my theory: Earth-3 Dick Grayson.

[@Y2JLionHeart]

Batman loves his squad, but he's so. He's just...the Batman...

[@mikebearthegamer1365]

what if he's actually the new 52 nightwing but the dude with red costume is actually damian from injustice... also maybe this nightwing(the one in this story blue nightwing) is the pre new 52 nightwing but just had his memories replaced with all the new 52s memories or he's a clone

[@TiffaGiffa]

Nightwing with the old 90s bouncing and behaving locks.

[@keeganrussel2445]

These better be some good good dame story's if we two nightwings can wait to see how this goes down

[@r.babylon2885]

My theory is that it's not the New 52 Nightwing. It's Injustice Nightwing. Damien.

[@babergill2890]

"Dick Greyson has the best ass in comics"! When Rob said that line I LMAO! ;-)

[@TevyaSmolka]

I agree this story was really fun

[@laurelsilberman5705]

Dick Greyson’s Ass is my favorite DC character

[@gangofheroes]

Evil Twin, Future Daimen, Clone or Somebody masquerading as Nightwing.

[@braylonrandle1731]

What if Dr. Manhattan is trying to disrupting the DC landscape by mixing and matching pre-new 52 and new 52 characters and at the moment the only people that know what's going on is Superman, Lois and wally west(the ginger) and they end up playing a key part in uncovering what's going on.

[@magneto9210]

Lol it's Kraven the Hunter.

[@azeezibnnaim]

Nightwing will forever be my favorite character, hes so capable, out of all the teen titans , nightwing and wally west kid flash , are the only one that could replace there masters

[@mastergrayson3091]

3 years late but... AGREED!

[@azeezibnnaim]

@@mastergrayson3091 😭lol

[@TheBigBadBeowulf]

You see Rob, most people assume time is a straight line of cause and affect but actually it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey....Stuff. And that's why two Nightwings. Cause interlocking timelines

[@pete4912]

15:33 I lost my shit, now I have to found all shits and collect them again.

[@Nexion3653]

NIGHTWING FAVORITE SUPERHEROE

[@Maldecido1904]

it's the return/rebirth of the 90's team titans villain Deathwing

[@bluerafire13]

Hey Rob I noticed after the Justice League vs the Suicde Squad that Lobo was Pre-New 52's. Im noticing that there's more and more Pre-New 52's counter parts are appearing because this Night Wing comic basically proves something . I'm not saying I'm right. But New 52's Lobo still exist he had a cameo in the last arc in Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps. I think more Pre-New 52's counterparts are going to keep showing up.

[@NathanBChampine]

Here's something to blow your mind. What if there are more Pre New 52 heroes that were brought though that portal Jimmy Nice was talking about? I wonder how many there are and are they still heroes or are they antiheroes now.

[@pathogen1889]

The guy in the New 52 Nightwing suit is deathwing, it's in the solicits for April.

[@immersivecomics1603]
