When a writer works on a character for an extended period of time, it’s fascinating to watch how their interpretation of that character evolves. When Patreon backer Josh Weil came to us and wanted to cover the Robins mini-series that won DC’s fan voted Round Robin competition, the natural stories to pair with it were other stories written by Tim Seeley that featured Dick Grayson; Seeley had quite a history with him after all, from Grayson through his ongoing to that mini-series and beyond. So here we have the first arc of the Rebirth era Nightwing, the Robins mini-series, and a team up of carnies, with Dick working with Deadman.
- Better Than Batman (Nightwing: Rebirth, Nightwing V.4 #1-4)
- Being Robin (Robins #1-6)
- Down the Road (Batman: The Brave and the Bold V.1 #13-16)
This week’s BatChat column focuses on Batwoman #2.
