But I think their idea is that new readers and viewers collapse into giggles over his old nickname sometimes.
DC’s worried that the name “Dick” will turn away readers, but their portrayal of…
I’m surprised that this is even an issue. Batgirl and Nightwing are both rated “T”. So is Red Hood and the Outlaws. If...
