The Fall of Nightwing?: Nightwing Rebirth Vol 1 Better Than Batman | Comics Explained

[@c0nn0rc213]

Hell yea! Nightwing is my favorite DC hero!

[@TheTheDontae]

Have to kinda agree with Sal on Nightwing surpassing batman years ago.......Bruce allowed his grief to consume him while dick became batman fought against Gotham the joker, red hood rise his son and somehow kept his humanity throughout that entire experience and then went back to being Nightwing he's everything Bruce could never be.

[@nonifuji1566]

Amazing Zero He's a better person than Bruce but I don't think he is as strong as Bruce, I'm unsure about that though.

[@nonifuji1566]

RediRoc Batman's superpower is being Batman.

[@poisonsmoon]

oh be careful with saying that nightwing surpassed Batman, even though its true, or your going to have a bunch of fanboys going after you. They have a hard time respecting peoples opinions.

[@MrSuha98]

I think they are fairly different. I'm a huge fan of Nightwing but I feel like the difference is that Dick is essentially a good person and Bruce isn't, and that's what is most important here.

[@JustSomeDude079]

Hey Rob I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for what you do. As a former comic collector turned father of 4, it's been a long time since comic books fit into my budget.. but my passion for the characters and stories has never changed, and your videos are my sole link to what was essentially a massive source of joy for Me from the time I was in elementary school until my early twenties. I am now 38 and trying to reconnect with these characters and I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for your channel. Keep up the fantastic work and thank you again for the videos, the insight, and for showing the same passion for comics that I have missed for so long. Rob corps for life homey!

[@wasilrk]

You need to put out this stuff in Audio only as well. Podcast of sorts. Keep doing the amazing work.

[@TheJuggerClutch]

i like this new "walking the line" nightwing. honestly he's been presented as being too much of a good guy that it got old, seeing this and a growing rift between him and the bat family is very refreshing. you dont usually see nightwing on the other side of any conflict of batman

[@crewcutter2030]

The cobra was stopped by the GI Joes

[@billychambers6400]

hahahhahaha!

[@aredjayc2858]

Damn I was just thinking that ... "COBRA!!!"

[@joshconners9031]

"A real American hero! G.I. Joe is there!!!!!"....... and apparently Channing Tatum and Marlon Wayans are there, too. With cameos by Brendan FUCKING Frasier!!!!! Also with Joseph Gordon Levitt saying " I wanna be Cobra Commander when I grow up"...WTF..............

[@YOUNGGONZALO]

The Joe's will pay!!!

[@PomaiKajiyama]

I'm loving what they are doing with Nightwing right now. As much as I was hoping that Rebirth was gonna be a complete restart of continuity so that they could retell some of the best stories of Batman with better continuity flow as far as timescale, it's refreshing to see them actually adding to the story of Dick Grayson, who I personally think is better than Batman overall...so the whole concept is really resonating with me. What do you think of the whole way that they break down Nightwing as a Brand Extension of Batman and sort of like a meta commentary on the series itself?

[@nicholaskennedy6256]

Honestly I read it myself and disagree with the idea that Dick Grayson is being corrupted. The point was that Dick isn't dark like Bruce and is able to make his own decisions without losing his judgment. The fact that Raptor was manipulating him doesn't change that. More over batman's code is fundamentally wrong in the world he lives in. Sparing criminal when you know they will escape and kill people again is messed up.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

You tried getting rid of him, DiDio. You tried. You thought.

[@mobsta163]

Just Some Guy with a Mustache you can't lock up the dick

[@cesarf.g.9996]

Nice, I have always loved nightwing. btw i have been watching your vids since this channel was marvel explained. I first watched your deadpool kills the marvel universe stories. Loved your channel ever since xD, keep up the good work Rob hope you feel better!

[@TheRabidRabbit1]

D FRAG me too

[@presidentecamacho8579]

same exact

[@capn_sauce2333]

This was my first ever comic series I subscribed to and I can say that it was amazing

[@MrSpageto]

Hey man, just saw your video on Hulk: The End on reddit! Great content man, it's so fascinating. As someone that has never really been "in to" comics, this channel makes all these amazing storylines amazingly accessible.

[@TommieCobb]

My only Argument in this whole video is the fact that Grayson/Nightwing is by far the Best "Fighter" among the Robins. none of the Other "Robins" can best him in Single combat. Also If Dick "Died" it would Destroy Batman, He was ready to kill Luthor for seemingly killing him during Forever Evil.

[@CitrousMoon]

You sounded great and executed the video excellent overall, as usual. Looks like this video stars more than one superhero! ;P

[@SeriousRereader]

I mean, where do you begin with the Nightwing and Batgirl romance? It's been going on for some decades now. Short version? Pre new 52 they were in an actual relationship, and we're engaged at some point. They had known each other since they were kids. In the new 52, they were only ever just friends but they always made it very clear that there was more than that. In both of their solo series they have both appeared. And usually Dick makes a speech about how much he loves Barbara and how she's the only one he wants to be with. Again, this is the short version of their relationship. They're also married in several alternate earths. If it wasn't obvious, I ship them. :)

[@joker-sh5hv]

hey rob, just wanted to say i really appreciate your vids and the nightwing love

[@Nexion3653]

My Favorite Dc comics character

[@Youtubewatcher47]

Neo Nightwing really now?

[@ethanolmuffins]

Rob can you do a video on Young Justice season 3?

[@rickyrackx8928]

Dankey Lord agreed

[@Shaggythedog5]

I can't wait to see what they do with young justice! I hope he does a video about it.

[@walrusdoge8437]

Dankey Lord ww

[@ingmarfris8175]

What is he gonna say? Production hasn't even started yet.

[@bryanbell4319]

Youre videos have made my warehouse job so much more enjoyable

[@shadysif6220]

Poor Nightwing. He'll never get past the friend zone with Barbara G. As she's already given the Dark Knight full access to her cave. And as the saying goes, once you go Bat, you never go back.

[@blizz2157]

Shadysif lmaoo no. babs and bruce NEVER happened expect in killing joke & the dcau universe.

[@exseraph-1344]

Blizzznerds God that was really fucked up in the DCAU. It's actually disgusting what they did with that God forsaken relationship.

[@donovanlarsen7982]

That's only the animated versions(Thank God).

[@gokusondbz]

Shadysif who cares about Barbara Gordon he's in a relationship with Starfire in the Animated Universe anyways. which I love Starfire more than Barbara Gordon.

[@FlaccidSunday]

I like Tim Drake and Barbara better

[@levonpoe]

First let me commend you for your wonderful reviews. I am 59 years old and do not take comics as a child's forum of entertainment. I call them graphic novels and read them as such. Adult pictorial adventure stories. Your reviews have given me much thought and allowed me to be of a better knowledge concerning what to read, what to collect and what to avoid. Your reviews of the Supersons remains my greatest discovery, tales involving Damian Wayne and Nightwing and many others. LOVE THEM! Living here in a major city, I have one of the best collections of books right here in our public library system and have been able to read many of the stories you have reviewed. I simply wish to thank you for your good works and ask you to please continue to enlighten old men like myself who find your reviews amusing and entertaining. THANK YOU!

[@Brianrock72]

Thank you for the frequent, and high quality uploads!

[@dbrown3812]

Thank lord hes back to Nightwing

[@paulpessagno8638]

When do you think you'll pick up with Infinite Gauntlet or Infinity War? Both series are still incomplete. I love the work you do.

[@MojitoFTW]

Nevermind, didn't notice how entirely long it was and you had just covered some elements you've talked about previously in more detail. Fantastic job as usual, Rob.

[@Anti-HyperLink]

"People who were homeless, people who were without a home..." big difference between those two 🤣

[@Shaggythedog5]

Hey Rob I LOVE your video's. I've always been a marvel fan so hearing you go over the things I was so clear on really made me happy and recently with all the CW DC shows like Arrow and Flash etc. I've become really interested in DC comics. Of course Batman and the Bat-Family are things that even if you don't read the comics the cartoons and games kinda get you up to speed on. However what I really love are all these videos on the "Less" popular characters like Green arrow and flash and green lantern (Yeah I know those aren't realllly less popular but they have less content outside of comics. ) I realize this is going on long so i'll cut to what i want to say. Thank you for doing all these videos and going into details with everything I really love it. It helps my long drives home and to work. Also I'd REALLY love to see more DC rebirth video's about the Titans and Teen Titans. I find them very interesting. Also any flash stuff is the best stuff! Anyways thank you Rob!!

[@edabomb369]

Hey Rob, would you consider doing a video on Snapper Carr?

[@miwasakata691]

In Convergence, Babs and Dick have been married and Pre-52 were in an on and off again relationship where at one point they were engaged.

[@matthewsterk9269]

Miwa Sakata that was Earth 2 Dick Grayson. Funnily enough, he got paralyzed the same way that Barbara did in the main continuity. Haven't check the rest of Earth 2 Society. But he is currently the current Earth 2 Batman despite his injury after Thomas Wayne's death in Convergence.

[@miwasakata691]

Matthew Sterk Thanks for the insight! The whole Convergence thing was really confusing to me. It was happening when I started to read comics for a hobby.

[@jeremiahmuhammad4722]

If the art was better I would have enjoyed this arc more.

[@metalmurcielago]

Jeremiah Muhammad agreed it's the first thing I noticed.

[@FlaccidSunday]

How I feel about aquaman

[@TevyaSmolka]

great video rob on this amazing story

[@khrmusic5118]

in regards to what was said at the beginning of the video, I would say Nightwing is the exception to Batman's lack of trust in people. Dick Grayson is the only person batman would trust to be batman and funds all of Nightwings actions because he sees him as an equal. I would even go as far as saying that batman cares for him more then any Robin. When Dick Grayson seemingly died in forever evil, batman was very close to killing Lex Luther (a line he seemingly wouldn't cross for anyone). It was only after Luther brought him back that batman had realized what he almost did.

[@SilentKiller171]

this was really dope! will you do videos for all of the bat family?

[@Maldecido1904]

Carry Kelly is from an Elseworld and Stephanie Brown's time as Robin was erased when they started the 52.

Wow, great use of Dire Straits in your video!

[@88frederickc]

I love night wing he is my favorite one out the best family

[@ensabahnur7657]

This was pretty good!

[@dantaokf]

Rob, what do you think about the Starfire Rebirth editions? As being one of my favorite female heroines I got totally lost with it, not knowing what the hell this new version of Koriand'r stands - is she the same from her New 52 version? I can't figure it out - also what about her relation with Dick? What happen or didn't happen since the reboot?

[@Lokix84]

batmans thing is "do whatever you can and deal with the consequences later" losing your moral compass is a consequence to deal with later ;)

[@UnifiedEntity]

Nope. I think Dick is better than Damian in combat. Sorry, not sorry hate that little shit. Dick is basically Batman's son but not forgetting his humanity and easy going. Batman has his and close relations to ppl like Supes ( in this case new 52 supes who died) he's still somewhat closed off

[@Redem10]

Yay Nightwing....we haven't got anything about him in a while

[@Zeqhyl]

Nightwing is so good right now

[@isaiahquinn5550]

Hope you feel better Rob!

[@joogullae3456]

Another awesome vid by LordKingGod Rob

[@poisonsmoon]

pre new 52, Dick and Barbara knew each other since they were Batgirl and robin, they didn't start dating until they were oracle and nightwing, so they had a lot of history and knew each other for a long time, they had an on again off again relationship and they were even engaged to each other right before infinite crisis but then in one year later we found out that they broke up and it was never explained why (they wanted to kill off nightwing in infinite crisis and so they just let Dick and Barbara get engaged but since Dick didn't die they didn't actually want Dick and Barbara to get married so they didn't) and then after that they remained friends but still had feeling for each other but they never got back together after infinite crisis. in the new 52 they both had feelings for each other and they both did think about getting together but then decided against it and that's pretty much it, they never dated or anything in the new 52. I actually really liked them as a couple pre new 52, they were adorable, in the new 52, it just wasn't the same, they just didn't really work. They are one of my favorite couples though so if they really did get together in rebirth I'd be okay with that.

[@cosmicjohn174]

Hey Rob best comic based KZbin channel hands down, having said that ha could you please do a video on Batman murdering in the comics??

[@DarkTalesProduction]

John Turner He already did like a year ago

[@JPEG2099]

Thanks for the content.

[@artrosemaloca4663]

Wait, so how did people forget that Dick Grayson was Nightwing?

[@Hiphopgeek86]

Dope vid. I would love to see you cover IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Such an amazing series.

[@thephantazm5139]

that costume is amazing

[@rickyrackx8928]

You Rob, can you do a video on Marvel 2.0 and if Marvel should get a REBOOT.

[@Balloushop13]

Rob I hope you get better soon, and rest well

[@darryljones9385]

Have you ever done a segment of the Nightwing/Grayson books aftter Forever Evil series when Dick Grayon was exposed as Nightwing?

[@JoeBrando_]

video on nightwing but the thumbnail is black Adam?

[@ShockwaveITB]

Not in mine

[@Digedon]

Batarang Nerd He fixed it

[@Durakken]

Dick Grayson before the events of Zero Hour (I think) was supposed to marry Barbara Gordon. However, it was decided that they were going to kill him off during the event so that was stopped. Then during the event the editor changed their decision and decided he wasn't going to die which left them having to retcon the whole fiance thing for some reason. Dick and Barabara dated on and off after that point until another retcom which left Dick as leaving being Nightwing and infiltrating organized crime and into some sensitive topic areas... Since then Dick and Barabara were "close" but estranged, flirting and seeing each other from time to time or expressing passion for each other but both always pulled away... So if they're getting together again without resolving that it kinda sucks, but finally they got them together as they should be.

[@spiderbatman97]

+Durakken Actually it was during the Infinite Crisis event when Dick propose her, but DC didn't really planed to go with that, he was going to die in the event and the engament was mean to make his death look a lot more tragic. At the end they didn't killed him, so they retconed the proposition away or something.

[@SCOUT8705]

if you watch any of the old Batman TV series that where on Channel 5 when it was the WB there was the episode where Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon we're boyfriend and girlfriend but they didn't know each other were Robin and Batgirl at the time but that was the only time I ever heard any reference to them being together besides now

[@ReapeX]

This was good, thank you :D

Yeah, you don't need to be a good fighter, you just need to be a good Batman.

I enjoyed the video, feel better.

[@poenellwrenn851]

savage dragon please help was Dope

[@joshconners9031]

It's strange, I have always hated Robin, with the exception of Damian Wayne. A child raised to be an assassin, with a hornet's nest of moral ambiguities, will always kick ass. I think it was Joker who said it best, when he called The Boy Wonder, "The Boy Hostage". When Dick Grayson ditched the Robin persona & evolved into Nightwing, he started kicking ass. I'm not the biggest DC fan, but they really got it right that time.

[@Anti-HyperLink]

The funny thing is that Dick Grayson's Earth 3 counterpart is called Talon and it's completely u related.

[@DragonFist9323]

Yo Rob , how can I buy a physical copy of your book ? Can you do a video on this channel or on RobExplains that discusses the books you've written and how to get them ?

[@MrSuha98]

About the whole Barbara and Dick thing, if I remember correctly, they have been together on many occasions. In convergence they were married and they have always had this on and off thing where they want to be together but something keeps them appart. It's cute tho

[@ROPname]

you speak so much of Spiderman, but I see never done a vid on Madame Web ... can you make a vid on her? Can you please explain Madame Web? :) I do not get her at all.... :)

[@jdonnelly250]

ROPname agreed. I'd also like a video covering the Spider-Sense. Since spider-verse, it's gone from a power set to a universal warning system for all spider-people.

[@Anti-HyperLink]

Does he keep Alfred at arm's length? I'm pretty sure Batman would just collapse if Alfred were killed. He's old, he'll die, but if he were murdered, it'd destroy him. Maybe not.

[@TheJohno95]

I love the fact that DC is taking the best of both worlds....Great creations from New 52 like the Parliament of Owls....And bringing back obscure villains like Kobra. I can see a bright future for DC Comics. They're fun and easy to get into. Whereas Marvel....They truly need some kind of real reboot or make a real effort to get their continuity in line. I know Marvel Cinematic Universe is their main baby right now....But sooner or later, all things come to an end. And if you don't dance with the one that got you to the ball.....There's no one to take you home.

[@UnifiedEntity]

TheJohno95 Yeah marvel they are just doing the wrong things with their hero's. And the shit they are doing to Mutants and the xmen? Damn shame

[@drismania]

Rob could you also do the Bruce Wayne Fugitive story as a throwback?

[@thegorgeousgloriousone9851]

Why don't they ever go into Tim Drake donning the cowl? They always praise his detective & fighting prowess but it seems like fandom pushes who is what. Nightwing is the fan favorite so of course he's next in line. Red Hood has become what he's become because of the initial dislike of him as a Robin so lets make him what would be the polar opposite by having him use guns so make him gun crazy Charles Bronson Batman. Then Damien who at the time had an array of mixed reviews just make him the worst Batman of the bunch even though he's been groomed since inception. But never an example of Tim in cowl.

[@RichardGrayson14]

well it's sorta complicated. the reason why they don't often show tim (they have btw. Just I agree not much) is because he's still young. dick is the most capable to be Batman with both fighting skill and detective skill and is the oldest on top of that he's the most experienced and was the original robin. tim was shown in a possible future as Batman but he was exactly like bruce, cold and lost everything so he didn't want to be like that

[@_invinciboy_8569]

I disagree Rob But that acoustic guitar bit where can I listen to it?
