Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Nightwing raped, Flannel Lass contemplating murder

Has anyone else seen the fan-film trailer "Grayson"? It's at:
TheForce.net






It has appearances by Batgirl, Superman, WonderWoman, Green Lantern, The Penguin, The Joker and The Riddler. Superherohype.com also has an interview with the filmmaker.

Is this by the same people who made the Batman: Dead End movie?

It looks like terrific stuff -- DC should be taking some tips!

Nope - this is someone else.

I thought they were a bit explicit with IC, but it was supposed to be upsetting. It should ALWAYS be upsetting, not casually thrown out there with ... *froths in the corner for a few minute*

It's showing up in the Flash books, too. Check out the new Mirror Master's backstory.

Posting on the Marvel family in Outsiders thread, I had a thought.

I've been a little miffed that the Outsiders don't seem to be aware of things happening in the Teen Titans book - you would think they'd want to know that there's a new Ravager, for example.

But the thing that struck me is the return of the cult of Brother Blood. Dick Grayson is a perennial favourite target/victim of said cult; the idea that the cult is based around the demon Trigon is interesting, but doesn't explain why they were always so fascinated with Dick...

And I recall the storyline where Dick Grayson became moody, and taciturn, and surly, and not willing to communicate with/lashing out at his loved ones -- and it turned out that he'd been brainwashed by Brother Blood. The rest of the team didn't know, until the cult put in the final touches.

Now Brother Blood is back and Dick is acting...

I'm slashing smoke with this theory, I bet, but I just wonder if there's a bigger in-story reason..? Or is that too much to hope for?

I can see someone down the road using the Blood cult to explain Dick's behavior in a retcon.

But as for right now? I doubt Devin has that in mind.

It is a good way out though. Good thinking.

Well, i would take just about anything including the Dallas "shower scene" to get that dreck explained away and done with as quick as possible.

I was initially in favor of her writing the book. She had just come off writing Gotham Knights, and while some of the stories were a bit slow, they were pretty good.

Then this.

I thumbed through the latest issue they had open at the store, talk about excrement. He is suddenly at the top of his game again and protecting her fearing extortion by her?

UUUUUGGHHH!

I can understand why dc did the insert in that book for Sky Captain, anything to help it sell.

Could we please get a writer with some chops to come in, straighten this mess out, and fix the book?

Please?

So, did anyone else see the cover to # 99 yet? I don't think it looks too promising for Nightwing fans. You can see it at toonzone.net or anyplace else that puts up the DC solicits.

But the guy who did Dead End has done World's Finest as a follow up. You can see it at The Force.net.

Just read the interview with Devin.

I say we kill Nightwing.

That will get her off the title and maybe we will have a chance to get someone that can tell a story in there.

Sorry, but the more i read from her interviews, the less i think she understands the character and has instead projected her own fantasies onto the character.

In another interview she said he either "fights or effs". What the hell? Dick Grayson was always about logic and reason. It was what made the dichotomy of his being young and outgoing work as robin. It was what was used so effectively in Marv and George's run.

Now he is just an emotional basket case. And i have to say that a lot of it seemed to stem from the Scarecrow issues at the start of Dixon's run.

Something else else has seemed a little off to me ever since then in his book. But the train left the tracks with Devin.

I liked her stuff on GK. I supported her on Nightwing when she started, even though i thought Marv should have gotten the job. But now i just cant wait to see her gone.

Gone Gone Gone.

sheesh
