Jason Todd then 😛
Black folk paired up
BatHoe was "shipped" with entirety of BatFamily except maybe Alfred. Good morning, anon.
It's Tim in Arkham games and Jason in Three Jokers. Won't surprise me if she shows her scar to Batwoman next and they have hot lesbian sex
She left his ass for a reason phonecuck
Yes I know why.
Babs likes to be a cuck queen while Dick fricks other girls like Starfire.
I was hoping Babs would grow out of this phase.
Holy shit, artist?
Babs Tarr, who drew Bab’s book in the burnside era
I love how horny Tarr is.
pair her up with batwing das right
Jason Bard, Killer Moth, James Gordon Junior.
Babs owes sex to all of these men.
She was made to be Bruce Wayne wife. Even creator of Bruce Wayne said this.
Then
A) Why isn't she
B) Why is she put on equal level to and paired with Batman's "SON"?
>Even creator of Bruce Wayne said this.
I don't think he had any involvement with the comics by the time she was created.
that was Batwoman, who was really just Catwoman in disguise
Batgirl was originally Bette Kane, designed to be Dick's "Girlfriend"
Barbara was designed to be the female foil to Batman that lusted after him but he no-way gayged regardless because she was the Commissioner's daughter.
>Barbara was designed to be the female foil to Batman that lusted after him but he no-way gayged regardless because she was the Commissioner's daughter.
And that was back when they were close in age rather than now where Bruce is sometimes shown being a full-grown man when Barbara's still a kid.
Tim to make him straight again.
It's time.
The bachelor behind door number 1
A religious guy like him wouldn't have sex before marriage
Michael was way more religious than the test tube baby that is JPV, and he had sex before marriage.
Wait, what?
Damn, you missed the times Talia fricked Jean Paul and Jason Todd. Try to catch up.
WTF, she couldn't get Bruce again so she perved on his disciples??
and his enemies (bane/deathstroke)
He fricked Talia though
/co/'s strange contrarian hateboner for DickBabs just makes me want it more
I'm just a Teen Titans fan that loves Robin with Starfire. My personal perspective is that it's better for Nightwing to be with someone outside of the Batfamily and within the Titans circle, rather than within the Batfamily where it's only reinforced that they're all in Bruce's shadow.
Dick has done Kory so dirty that any attempt to pair them up now would feel forced.
Bro Dick/Kory hasn't been relevant in the comics in 30 years, let it go. It's like people pairing Peter/Gwen because of the adaptations. It's time has passed. Better off as an early love interest that just didn't work out.
Dick and Babs weren't relevant for 15 years and, unlike him and Kori, DC didn't fill their post-break up history with repeatedly having them start dating again and sleeping with each other.
They’ve been relevant for the last two years albeit under Tom Taylor.
Every relationship Dick and Babs were in post break up the other showed up in the other's book to be made aware of it and give their opinion on it. Starfire was irrelevant.
Most of them don't. Babs doesn't actually have that many love interests either. DC silos Dick a fair bit, to the point where you can consider there to be a Titans Dick and a Gotham Dick who don't actually overlap all that much.
"As of now" being operative phrase. And the reason why Dick is languishing is because his solo has been consistently been discount Daredevil in diet coke Gotham and what few attempts to make anything other than that were either complete shit or thoroughly crushed by editorial.
>"As of now" being operative phrase
Shit that happens in team books will almost never matter to a character that has their own book. Dick could have a graphic 10 page frick session with Kory in a Titans book and it'd never be addressed in a major way for his own book. At this point characters like him only show up in team books to drive sales up.
>It's like people pairing Peter/Gwen because of the adaptations.
Not really. Peter/MJ is pretty much in recent all adaptations compared to Peter/Gwen. While Dick/Kori is more common in adaptations than Dick/Baba
>Dick/Kory hasn't been relevant in the comics in 30 years
As a 33 yearold Beast BoyxStarfire shipper, you have no idea how much I needed to read this. You're based.
>ship pushed from on high
>none of the writers are really invested in it to the point that main writer in the Gotham Office flatout stated he didn't see them a couple who would last
>follow up BoP writer barely uses Dick
>follow up Nightwing writer breaks them up for her OC ship
>15 years and several other Dick relationships later, some of whom were liked by readers, DC starts acting like they're eternally bound soulmates fated to be together
>meanwhile DC has never stopped teasing Dick and Kori and has on several occasions put them back together
I'm not denying DickBabs has its fans or merits, but it ran its course by the mid-00s and there was never any great clamor to bring it back. The long-running insistence on establishing the relationship through retcon rather than building it on page leaves a lot of readers cold especially since there really isn't any room in Dick's character history for those flashbacks which only serves to make him look like a shitbag. And most of the current DickBabs fans seem like they never actually read their original stint as a couple and instead are pushing this fanon version built out of random panels and headcanon.
Given everything about Dick's personality, him settling down and not fricking it up at some point with anyone feels a bit forced.
>And most of the current DickBabs fans seem like they never actually read their original stint as a couple and instead are pushing this fanon version built out of random panels and headcanon.
Meanwhile the KoryDick fandom was built on the bastardization of the OG NTT.
Sure, but at least they can point to the cartoon as a coherent take on the relationship. Which leads into another issue I have in that DC never actually dropped Dick and Kori. They know that it has a fandom and they cater to it. At several points post-1993 Dick and Kori were functionally a couple again. Saying Dick and Kori don't count because of how long ago it happen is pretty pointless, because people born when Dick and Babs first hooked up have already graduated from high school.
>Which leads into another issue I have in that DC never actually dropped Dick and Kori.
Anon it’s dropped as of now. The only reason why it could happen again is because DC needs the money much like how they reunited the Titans. Again. Which is why Dick needs to stay the frick away from them. Literally the only reason why Dick is in such a shitty state as a character is because he languished with the Titans.
The Titans haven’t been cool in three decades and neither has Kory.
>Literally the only reason why Dick is in such a shitty state as a character is because he languished with the Titans.
Nightwing has been firmly under the control of Bateditorial since the mid-90s.
And Nightwing had been under the control of the Titans since the 1970s till 1995. Post-1985 Nightwing was abysmal
bro there's like 3 years of decent comics in that 70's-85 run. LET IT GO.
Most of them under Perez/Wolfman, but after Perez left, it really went to shit. Compare the Titans in 1990 as a team to every other superhero team of the same era. They were shit compared the X-Men, Doom Patrol, JLI, X-Factor and so on.
>Given everything about Dick's personality, him settling down and not fricking it up at some point with anyone feels a bit forced.
Exactly.
Unironically Killer Moth, as an "I can fix him" rehabilitation project that actually works, allowing him to become a productive member of society and maybe even an outright hero of his own.
This would be the golden ending of BatMoth. But for the duration, have him be an occasional thorn in her side that becomes her informant, to a spicy affair when she gets too close and can't quite reconcile when they start catching feelings.
Only Luke Fox’s meat inside her, can bring Babs back to readable levels for me.
Ace.
Ted Kord was her best relationship.
Entered the thread just to see if anyone else remembered that.
You guys are alright.
What's wrong with them together?
lonely losers-anons hate people being happy in general. even if said people are mere characters
You think Babs is happy being Dick's cheerleader/trophy wife? I don't think she is. She used to be her own superhero some time ago.
They will both sabotage each other and themselves off this relationship eventually, don’t see how they can be happy with each other.
Because Dick constantly cheats on her
When has he cheated on her?
>fricked her and then invited her to his and Kori's wedding
Lmao you mean he cheated on Kory. And it’s fine, she banged he’d husband before him.
*her husband
Unironically Mr. Freeze, Killer Croc, or if you want to go the homosexual route, Harley Quinn. Out of all the Rogue's gallery, those three are the most "forced into villain shit" characters and actually tried to not be villains at least once in a while.
Given that she's the on-and-off again smartest bat-member/commissioner's daughter, she'd known them the longest outside of Batman himself, so she'd know that two out of those three candidates just need to be cured of their medical bullshit and given a lil counselling.
And because she deserves mutant wiener.
Her tongue should be shipped with jim gordons ass
Ted was by far her best pairing. He has both the right temperment for handling her and they actually have shit in common. Batpeople apparently aren't allowed to date out or have good relationships though
Ted is literally perfect for her, and it's a shame they haven't picked up cybersexing again after Heroes in Crisis.
Jason Bard by far.
She ghosted him for a billionaire. That's going to be hard to forgive.
I never understood this ship, they barely meet, barely talk and when they do it’s boring. Seeing a Selina and Bruce storyline is fun, bound to be romantic and heavy. They affect each other good or bad, most times in equal doses.
Meanwhile Dick and Babs barely even think about each other outside of work, have 0 chemistry and will not bring anything to the table even if they do get together. Plus how would it even work? There’s no way she’s moving to Bludhaven, so that means either they go long distance or Dick relocates to Gotham. Both sound awful.
>There’s no way she’s moving to Bludhaven
Bludhaven will move to Babs. No seriously. It used to be a city on the other side of the US, now with every new year, it's getting closer and closer to Gotham, to the point Babs can currently show up in Bludhaven to say hello to Dick and frick off to Gotham within few hours.
Didn't the Under the Red Hood comic have Bludhaven literally visible from Gotham so that Batman could watch it get nuked
I guess. It's stupid though. Nightwing doing all that spiel about "wanting to be his own man and doing his own thing" and then moving to Bludhaven is for all intents and purposes an equivalent of a teenager throwing a tantrum and deciding to move out from his dad's house, only to settle in the house next door.
You showed him your independence, kid.
Dick "being his own man" pretty much died when he got taken from the titans. It's funny because the titans were a trainwreck that he probably needed to get away from, but when given a blank canvas to create his solo career all they did was make shackles to guarantee that he'd never get too far away from batman
Tom Taylor can fix this.
Have faith in Tom Taylor and his writing.
Tom Taylor can get fricked by an emu.
Vicious creatures, by the way.
I think it's a little ridiculous that there's a bunch of "Dick needs to be his own man" discourse when that doesn't occur for literally any other sidekick. Wally is his own man and he's literally under the same mantle as Barry.
It's different because Wally got to be the man for like 20 years and actually grew as a character. Meanwhile Dick has been spinning his wheels over a longer timeframe, except when he became batman, and has barely grown at all. Hell in many ways he has regressed
To be fair though Wally is pretty much a unicorn as far as cape characters go that shouldn't really be compared to anybody
Wally also got erased once the Flash identity was given back to Barry. Dick is kind of the only character that can survive giving up iconic identities with creating new ones.
>Dick is kind of the only character that can survive giving up iconic identities with creating new ones.
I mean, his time as Batman was totally memoryholed. And the only reason he can still retain a mantle is that nobody called dibs on the Nightwing identity yet.
He gave up Robin which was an iconic identity too. Didio's plan was to kill off Dick to make Jason the new Nightwing as well, but that fell through. So there have been efforts to try and replace him.
the kryptonians are gonna come for what's rightfully theirs one day. He and Bette are finished
Power Girl used the Nightwing name in that New Krypton story or something.
the modern map, and by modern I mean since like the late 90s/early 00s, has blud being like a 30 min drive away from gotham
Barbara is the vampire queen now, she can have any b***h suck her pussy.
Vampires like menstruation blood? That would explain Dick being the Vampire King, and not a gay like Tim or a virgin like Jason.
What are the good Dick Titans stories since the 1990?
There aren't any.
What are the good Nightwing stories?
Originally it was about 3 hours by car.
Red X debuted in TTA as a time traveller who believed he was Dick's son.
How come the killing joke is practically always canon? What makes that story a locked in thing. Every time we get a babs we also get crippled babs.
Because it fricking sells, that's the only reason. It's baby's first edgy Batman comic. DC should've made it Elseworlds ages ago, but they can't get rid of their evergreen, can they?
Very simple: Oracle is a really popular version of the character. So Oracle's popularity brings Killing Joke along for the ride.
No, sunshine, Joker is a very popular version of the character, that's why TKJ is popular. Nobody outside of the most versed in Batman lore gives a frick about Oracle.
Also, the idea that someone reads TKJ for Barbara Gordon is... rich.
Because it is one of DC's best selling GNs every year. They think keeping the story canon makes it retain popularity.
>Pair her with someone else.
Which Red X? Aren't there like 4 in the comics?
They should just make a character from the TT show
How bout just stop shipping cuz that shit's cringe
Pair her up with Damian with he is older.
The joke answer is Killer Moth but the real answer is nobody because she's an awful person
>she's an awful person
How?
>The joke answer is Killer Moth
The fanfics have won me over. Killer Moth is Babs' best pairing.
A bold choice, sir.
Bruh, I love BatMoth too much to want it anywhere near canon.
>Bruh, I love BatMoth too much to want it anywhere near canon.
This. Let Barbara's crush be canon, let them have a moment or two, but let it not go much further than an occasional tease.
Dickbabs is perfection
I prefer the scenerio where Robin leaves Gotham and moves to the complete other side of the country to become his own man far away from Batman's shadow, and becomes the leader of his own team where he's the main man everyone respects and gets with the alien princess that first met him without any pre-existing knowledge or awareness of Batman's existence. So when he becomes Nightwing, he is 100% entirely his own independent person from Batman.
Nightwing should be with the Titans first, Batfamily second.
>Nightwing should be with the Titans first, Batfamily second.
>No Titans book with Starfire and Bette playing the Betty and Veronica to Nightwing
Is Bette the only girl Dick doesn't want to dick?
He fricked her in the Young Justice universe.
If she's not with Dick, how is he going to cheat on her? And what are the options? Ted was destroyed by Johns. Jason? The character is shit. The ideal is for her to continue being cheated on by Dick and cheat on him with Dinah.
yeah, with me
Killer Moth.
Bludhaven is still within the jurisdiction of New Jersey like Gotham isn’t it?
>homies still pushing their crackfic after Dick gaped Babs for three hours straight
they could frick for 2 years straight and it still wouldn't change that they have the chemistry of moldy socks to go along with a relationship built entirely on retcons and one character, usually dick, being wildly out of character or incompetent
>and one character, usually dick, being wildly out of character or incompetent
Is Taylor still doing the running gag of Dick getting knocked unconscious with a blow to the head?
>they have the chemistry of moldy socks
I don't think I'd go that far... okay, maybe. At least Babs is showing some assertiveness and passion, but Dick has felt hesitant and uncertain, letting Babs take the lead in this relationship. Which, fine, some relationships are like that, but it makes for an uncompelling romance when he isn't reciprocating her passion.
The main character drama of Babs last run was her agonizing about dating someone when at any moment Dick could stop fricking other women and start wanting to frick her.
That's pretty realistic honestly.
>ywn be so much of a chad that women will literally ruin their own lives waiting for sex from you
FRICK
Harley
>Shipping Richard with anyone but Barbra
>Shipping Starfire with anyone but Beast boy
Eat tide pods Linkara.
I miss BatMoth threads, bros.
Same, man. I've had a fic or two on the backburner, but haven't found time to finish, sadly.
Love the pic.
