That awesome moment when you call a Nightwing cosplayer from across the courtyard "Dickiebird" and he actually responds. xDDThat was awesome.

It's always nice when Dickie's in on the joke.

Nice to see some interplay between cosplayers

It's nice when other cosplayers get the references you make. xD
It sadly doesn't happen as often as you'd think...
At least not when it comes to references from the comics.

Oh?
Also, when did Jason first call Dick "Dickie-bird"? When Jason was Nightwing?
π: 0 β©: 1
You know, I can't remember the first time he did...it may have been, though I think it may have been before that.
But, he calls him it a lot. He uses it to taunt him.

I need to afford the digital copies to check XD
Makes sense; haven't seen a Dick vs Jay brawl in the N52 with the exception of a minor scuffle in a B&R issue...yet

Sucks, don't it? I miss the good ol' days when they kicked each other in the nuts like a bunch of bitches... xD

XD
It could happen again. I think Damian might have done that to Jason XD

Tim Kicked Jason in the nuts and Jason kicked Dick...
I haven't seen Damian do it, but I would totally pay to. xD
π: 0 β©: 1
Well he fought Jason long enough to steal Jason's helmet and live XD
π: 0 β©: 1
I knew about that.
He also steals his motorcycle. Kid's got a death wish...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, have him come back first before Jason can get revenge
π: 0 β©: 1
Lol. Jason can find a way.

Well, let's see what happens when Damian rises XD

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for the return of Redbird.
I still need to make that cosplay...maybe for next year's Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con.

I think Carrie Kelley is going to help get Damian back to life, and probably won't be Robin.

We can only pray.
Never again...please, DEAR GOD, never again. >__>
π: 0 β©: 1
Never again? You mean no more dead Robins?
π: 0 β©: 1
I mean no more Carrie Kelley Robin.
π: 0 β©: 1
Im with you on that. Keep that to Miller's realm.
π: 0 β©: 1
PLEASE.
Carrie Kelley was the worst incarnation of Robin that was ever created....and she look-a-like-a-man. >__>
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep. And it doesn't help that:
1. Her parents were written as freaking hippies (which seems to be Miller's default version of liberals)
2. The Batman in that was far right wing and out to lunch (no wonder his earlier form was "The Goddamn Batman")
3. Yes, she looked like a man!
4. She just wasn't fun

THANK YOU.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hated that bitch.
I have so many people complain that I don't like her.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think she was kinda hamfistedly forced into there due to a scramble to redo months of planning that went down the fucking drain. Let's just say I've had two people tell me independently that the people on B&R are PISSED at Morrison.
Harper feels a bit forced too, but not as much as Carrie
π: 0 β©: 1
Harper is always forced...his entire being has been forced since the get go. I never liked him and it doesn't seem like I'm going to end up liking him anytime soon...
π: 0 β©: 1
Harper Row, not Roy Harper.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, right right. Shows here my mind is.
I have no real opinion about Harper Row.
The only female Robin I ever really liked was Helana.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes. That is what Jason calls him.
Dickiebird.

I thought it was funny.
Jason's such a prick. xDD
π: 0 β©: 1
Mhmm. But, it's fun being Jason Todd. Everyone expects you to be an asshole, so no one's surprised when you say something vile. xDD
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah.Β I think that's true with any villainous role that you cosplay as.Β Like Sasuke from Naruto.Β I'm willing to bet, if I cosplayed as him (the older version) and acted like a complete asshole to everyone, they'd just eat it up.Β Especially the women.Β No idea why there.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
You'd be surprised.
There are a lot of villainous/mean characters I've cosplayed in which people get easily offended when you act like the character.
For instance, Gaara, The Joker, Claude Faustus....etc.
But, Jason Todd, for some reason (at least around people who know the character) people love it.
It's probably because Jason's mean-ness tends to be more on the funny side... Though, when he does get angry violent, it can be enough to make anyone piss their pants.
Jason is not a nice guy...he hasn't been since post crisis.
Even as Robin, he was a bit of a jerk post crisis.

I can imagine.Β DC gets brutal at times.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
It does...but, that's the fun of it. And as much as I would love it if DC would stick to their guns, I really do prefer the darkness of DC over the storylines of Marvel.
I think that's why Batman and its related stories have really stuck with me so much.
Though, I must admit...Marvel has had a few good ones along the darker lines. Especially in recent years.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup.Β
there were some darker stories in the Green Lantern universe.Β IT was the first one that I read called "The Emerald Twilight" where the entire city of Coast City was destroyed.Β All that was left was a huge crater and Hal used the ring to try to resurrect the city and the Guardians stepped in to tell him that he was being kicked out of the Order for using the ring for such a purpose.Β Enraged by this and still mad from grief, he goes on a killing spree and stealing the rings of other lanterns.Β until he reached the central battery and absorbed all it's power.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup.
Jason Todd was beaten in the head with a crowbar with in an inch of his life and then had a building dropped on him while he was lying there barely alive.
Then, six months after being killed in such a violent way, he was raised from the dead by a fucked up Superboy while still buried in his grave and still suffering from his massive head injury. He literally had to dig himself out of his grave with his bare hands and a belt buckle with a bleeding wound and a fractured skull...plus his eye being fucked to hell.
Then, after all that, Talia puts him in the Lazarus to Β stew in Ra's Al Ghul's juices (EW) which pretty much drove him to the brink of violent insanity coupled with being told that Bruce not only didn't avenge his death, but then being told by Bruce that he never even considered killing the Joker for a second.
Which was a huge lie by the way...but, Jason doesn't know that.
This leads Jason to many more rage induced acts of violence before he finally starts to even out a bit...but, even after that, he's still homicidal and doesn't really regret his decision to kill.
Jason kills a ton of people in a multitude of ways...some more violent than others but ranging from stabbings, to shootings, to beatings, to blowing motherfuckers up with a granade launcher.

All seems to have happened around the 80s didn't it?
π: 0 β©: 1
No. Jason came back to life around 2005, or so...If I remember correctly.
Jason died in the 80's and Tim came into the comics and became Robin shortly after.
Most of the really dark, violent stuff from Jason though came about in the mid to late 00's.
Then again there's a lot of stuff that goes unnoticed/unmentioned in Jason's story line...like his working with Damian and stocking Stephanie Brown.
Even his short reign as Batman is often overlooked.Β

Yeah.Β Wish I could read some of that.Β But....funding.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
You can find some of it for free online. I actually read "Under The Red Hood" online for free a while back...but, I have no idea if it's still free. You'd have to look and see if you can find it.
