Under the cut are 12 pics of Dick from the four-issue 1995 Nightwing run. Now, I'm the first person to admit I could lick him all over especially on a hot day, but ...
Heeeeeeee! Thank you for only emailing the first one. I may not have survived the entirety of the 'Battle for the Cowl' collection with those lurking in my subconscious waiting to leap out and traumatise me at Dick's flyaway hair moments. *g*
I'm sure Bruce will come back and all will be well again. Eventually. *wishes and hopes and believes like mad*
The ponytail though... It makes me want to see the issue where Deathstroke reels him in by it and then berates him for giving his opponents such an easy handhold. Right before he draws one of his swords, chops the damn thing off, sticks in it a pocket and leaves. :D

Ahhh, my second favourite issue. My favourite issue being the one you mentioned earlier where Dick's hair acts as reins ...
Heh, and I LOLed in that recent Detective Comics where Dick tells Batwoman to chop off the long hair before someone yanks her around by it Was that Dick-Batman, then? I thought it might have been Bruce. Is Detective Comics in continuity? (although, thinking about it, that does make sense. Kate's Batwoman really should be in current continuity. Hmm.)
(Funhooouse it's a whole lotta fun, prizes to be won...' *wipes tear form eye* ah, memories,)
LOL, I loved Funhouse, especially the part where the kids got to crawl through all the bright plastic balls. Always wanted ball of my own.
Heh, and I LOLed in that recent Detective Comics where Dick tells Batwoman to chop off the long hair before someone yanks her around by it - you could tell he was talking from (painful) experience.
LOL, I've actually forgotten how he really loses his ponytail. Hmm, I guess I'll find out shortly when I finally get around to re-reading everything.
Ok, off to write some more of the Dick/future!Damo fic that implanted itself in my brain last night while I slept... :D
Oooh. I'll be here waiting.
P.s. If they ever try to kill Dick we will gather together a terrible fangirl army and storm DiDio's evil headquarters. 'It was a bloodless coup... all smotherings!'
Hurrah! I'd make a good general, especially during certain times of the month ...
What *is* that first panel? Other than fodder for nightmares unrelated to Children of Earth? He's so hairy! And fashionless! More than usual, I mean.
I am, however, in love with his tiger/zebra striped red bicycle shorts. He looks like he's going to go tricking at a gay club. And the Superman-colored briefs. Sexy.
Oh god, I've seen an odd scan or two of the mullet before, but I'm afraid these are going to haunt me in my sleep for weeks now. And man, is it obvious or what that we have a boy without an Alfred to pick out his clothes?
But the gratuitous manties shot really makes up for it all, I must say. Though I was so distracted I didn't notice at first that Dick doesn't appear to have any blankets on his bed other than the top sheet. Did his air conditioner break? Did he give his comforter away? Does he just he just happen to like sleeping mostly naked with no covers? (Note that I'm not complaining at all, of course).
No, I haven't been at all traumatised by Torchwood: Children of Earth. I'm perfectly stable and sane, stane and sable. ~paddles~
*sobs with renewed trauma* No, no. No bad things will happen to Dick. He'll be just fine and after Bruce comes back he'll go back to doing sexy Nightwing things. Because the Batfamily still needs Dick! They do! They need him, so he has to be fine. If we say it enough times, it has to be true,
( ... )
I think someone at DC went for the full monty and got censored. :D
Oh, that gives me happy, happy thoughts.
But I desperately hope that isn't Dick, or that the actual future of the DCU will be a little different. Dick is one of the few Batfamily members that I actually think is probably self-aware enough to know when his time is up and it's time to hang up the spandex for good, so there's no reason why Damian can't be future!Bat without Dick having to die a horrible, pointless death. *worries anyway*

No, I'm afraid the only hair good enough for Dickie is the extra-long-bangs look so popular in the nineties. And his cheeks aren't all I'd pinch...

Not so much the extra long arm hair or mullet. Sheesh! Dick's like a swimmer. Hairless for the aerodynamics. Or something.

So many missing issues! This should be rectified immediately. :D

Did you read the next issue?

Have you started your reread yet? I'm considering joining you - as a first-timer, of course. Yesterday's homework was relatively painless, so... *g*

He's certainly gone through a number of looks.

Yes, they've actually grown on me. Well, not literally! I really need fic feature bicycle shorts.
