Nightwing and Superman

[ratcreature]

So I'm kind of spamming my blog tonight, sorry about that, but why hasn't anyone *looks at cereta* told me that during the Intergang/Soames storyline in Nightwing there was an Action Comics tie-in, i.e. Action Comics #771 (written by Chuck Dixon, pencils by Pascual Ferry, inks by Alvaro Lopez), with Nightwing coming to Metropolis and working with

Oh. MAN.

I mean, as far as I'm concerned, those two are just another shade of canon ANYWAY. But *Jesus*... *stare*

[ratcreature]

Yeah, they look really good together, don't they? And Superman just hovering next to Nightwing who sits comfortably on a ledge, sipping coffee, it almost domestic, in a superhero kind of way. And considering that Nightwing fantasized about Superman flying him down from the Eiffel Tower in canon... *g* when the two are together they have chemistry.

Oh good Lord. One day, I'm going to have fifty OTP icons and... it won't be enough. *SIGH*

[ratcreature]

You know, if you consider the immense size of the cast of the DCU, fifty OTPs probably would be less percentage-wise than only one OTP in a series with a regular cast of ten or so. =)

squee! dude! 'WING. Dick is flirting with him and superman calls him 'WING.

You know, they *would* get on really well. Dick and Clark, I mean, costumes aside. I must ponder this.

[ratcreature]

Yeah, and also Clark has been really important for Dick to become his own kind of hero, I mean, Dick picked the name "Nightwing" based on a Kryptonian legend that Superman told him after all (well at least in current continuity as explained in that story from Nightwing Secret Files, as I understand it the Nightwing name origin changed a bit, but my grasp of Teen Titans continuity isn't firm). The Kryptonian roots also might explain the garish yellow in the costume... *g*

And if you haven't already you should totally read cereta's Superman/Nightwing fic.

*Beams* My pairing is spreading. This pleases me.

[imortalscot]

Didn't Superman give some help to Nightwing when Nightwing's series was just getting started?

[ratcreature]

Well Superman is important for Nightwing's origin, that is in the Secret Files issue, and Superman was in Blüdhaven after the quake at the beginning of NML, helping Nightwing when people left Gotham and flocked into Blüdhaven, that was in Nightwing #30, and I think they run across each other in some of the DCU-wide x-overs. But they don't meet as often as they could... ;)

I am not going to start reading DC comics. I won't. I can't afford it. If I start getting back issues of Nightwing, I am so billing you and cereta and sanj.

looks firm

He called him 'wing!

[ratcreature]

Heh, you know, you will be broke but much happier. *eg*

Resistance is futile. (oops, wrong fandom, still true though...)

[cereta]

Um...It would be because I didn't know, and now I'm going to have to haunt my comics store and other resources because I. Must. Have.

I don't know whether to bless or curse you. This would be what we call Fannish Karma, folks.

[ratcreature]

Then I'm glad I could enable further comic buying. And you're totally right, it's only fair that you should buy some comics because of me. *g*
