Young Justice and the New 52 movies. You gotta watch more animated stuff.

[@jsystormkekkei572]

Young Justice Dick Grayson is literal perfection Brandon is a good actor and I enjoyed Titans but he’s not DICK GRAYSON to me at least. I understand everyone’s taste are different but to me Dick Grayson is if you were to compare him to another character he has a personality that’s similar to Peter Parker he’s responsible, capable, a natural born leader and most of all he has a super magnetic personality he’s funny charming and super charismatic that makes him insanely likable in and out of the Dc universe. Titans Dick Grayson is just another CW tortured soul mc that I usually revolt at but I’ll still watch Titans S3 if it comes out and I respect your opinion but Yj captures the essence of Dick Grayson to me so YJ Grayson is best Grayson to me.

[@Artryom]

Except, he's what Peter is based on...

[@sofialu226]

When Titans Dick became Nightwing he got better. He still lacks the most Jokster side of Dick. But in other aspects of the character he is good. Brenton just _works_ (for me at least) But yeah, Young Justice Nightwing is the BEST Nightwing. Is the most comic accurate and I love it.

[@inolynch7526]

@@sofialu226 brenton is what makes that different iteration of Dick works. i can see that the show is giving him time to develop into the Dick Grayson we know . at least that's what i think .at the end of s3 he's much lighter, less angrier you know ? but yeah YJ nightwing is just perfection . absolute favorite Dick Grayson but i just always wished that they give him an arc where its focused on him but yeah it still didn't happpen yet ( im at the start of s3)

Three unrelated comments: 1. I really love Nigthwing's thing, he keeps the Dark and broody aesthetic from Batman AND the happy go lucky robin personality. I have seen absolutely NO other characters like this, and it IS my jam. 2. Oooooh, that's from where I knew Robin's YA voice from. 3. I hate how batman & robin is NOT the movie that introduces robin, but batgirl, and Batman Forever sounds a lot like a last movie in a series. Those movies titles should have been reversed.

[@sofialu226]

As a Big Dick Grayson/Nightwing fan myself, my favourite Nightwings are Nightwing in Youg Justice and Nightwing in Titans. Young Justice Nightwing is the most Comic accurate in personality and character for me. Making him the best Nightwing overall. Then Titans Nightwing have the apparence and the vibe. He lacks more of his jokester side, but he gets better. I geniunly saw my man Dick in more than one ocasion when I was watching the first two seasons (haven't watch S3 yet). Brenton just works.

[@scorpzgca]

Great choices Scott Menville was an incredible Robin voice actor in Teen Titans and Brenton Thwaites is a badass Nightwing live action

@@kurtcobain7886 Because it's race washing. If Tim were originally black, and then a white person were cast in the role, critics wouldn't waste time calling it white washing. It's disrespectful to the character. It's not as if original black characters don't already exist.

[@retroradiationkingofvideog8526]

I’m upset that Jason Todd is going to becoming Red hood and the next season.I like red hood but I feel it’s not a good idea to make him the bad guy.Not to mention but Tim Drake actually having Jason Todd origin story isn’t out ordinary since the DCAU Tim drake have Jason’s backstory

[@MrJole777]

Titans

[@q.h.s5051]

I completely agree with your take on Chris O’Donnell. He did his job great in Batman Forever, but I hated him in Batman and Robin (just like everything else) but the Nightwing style suit was very cool there! Just like Batman Forever, Val Kilmer, the story, action, and much of the film, he doesn’t get the praise he deserves.

I think my profile picture shows the camp I'm in, but I am curious to hear from you both. Anyways, keep up the great vids, Vee!

[@ahopefor]

Terry Mcguinness is great!

[@shilohgrayson]

Nightwing is my absolute favorite character in DC. I relate to him so much (especially in the anger aspect...). I absolutely love Brenton Thwaites version of Dick Grayson/Nightwing! He's so fun and whenever he does something cheeky during a fight I grin! I also love his relationship with Donna Troy (I love platonic relationships!!). I love their banter too! I'm a year older than my childhood friend, and I'm an only child (yeah Donna was adopted by Wonder Woman, but I still relate to her a lot). I think I'm gonna really like Young Justice's Nightwing. I love his animated design the most. I started watching YJ last year and I love it! Kid me would have loved the show too, just like Teen Titans! I also started rewatching Teen Titans earlier this year and its great!

Plus the suit in arkham knight looks really good to me

I honestly really like Titans. It’s a modern version fo the original Titans story. I also really like it’s Robins. Titan’s Dick Grayson perfectly captures a Dick who just let his parents killer die and is scared to be Batman. I quite enjoyed what Thwaites does with the character.

[@nicks.2612]

The problem with Robin from Teen Titans i think is he doesn't get the same level of characterization as the others because they never delve into his character he never even gets called Dick/Richard in the shoe its only through second material we know its supposed to be him. Sure they wanted to stay away from bringing Batman in but by making him a pwrson non grata they stripped a lot possibilities from Robins portrayal. How cool would have been an episode with Batman were he does his Batman stuff and orders everyone around only for Robin to backfire, the Titans were his first attempt to get out of Bats shadow before he then became Nightwing and we should have seen something of that sort in the show, with everyone eose getting similar episodes focusing on their backstory/past
