One Perfect Moment - Nightwing surprises Batman
No, not like THAT, in the GOOD way... Well, A good way at any rate...

From Fabian Nicieza's issues of Nightwing during the "Return of Ra's Al Ghul" storyline...

Nightwing is on patrol in New York, beating up on a bad guy, when....

Of course, if little Bro might be in trouble, it's not even a question.

Heh, and can't you just SEE Batman's face as he hears that... I bet he's smiling... on the inside at any rate.

	BUM. Sorry, were you saying something? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well, Fabian DID start the "Could that ass LOOK any better?" trope from people fighting Nightwing. Bettered only by Dick's casual reply "Well, I really don't see how..." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Dick always has been better at networking than Bruce... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Heh, perfect. You know, I might actually buy that Return of R'as al Ghul trade. Hnn. (Reply to this)

	So many lovely moments in this storyline, really. If someone asked Nightwing to list the most valuable thing in the world it would be the pride beneath Batman's disapproving scowl. (Reply to this)

	This reminds me of when Batman found out that Tim's "uncle" was actually just an actor Tim hired because he wanted to be independent. Instead of being angry he practically beams and says "I'm so proud of you!" Man I wish I remember what issue that was, because it was truly a perfect moment... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's from Robin #139 http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g108/ladymirth/Robin139page02.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g108/ladymirth/Robin139page03.jpg "Young man, I am so proud of you I could burst!" I bet even Dick has never received a compliment like that! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's probably because Bruce is generally not badly written in that particular direction. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh my god that is just so cute. It makes me want to ruffle Batman's hair. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I'm actually torn on that one. On the one hand, it's a neat job Tim did. One the other hand, he seemingly did it because he felt he couldn't rely on Bruce to be there for him, and that seems unfortunate. Especially as he couldn't really expect the role to last THAT long, or risk endangering the ID's of the rest of the clan?

Bruce rewarding it also comes across as not quite right.

	Lol, that last panel looks like Dick's version of the Wondy Spin. (Reply to this)

	Didn't Dick actually LEAD the JLA while the Big 7 (plus Plas) were trapped in the past? Bruce shouldn't act so peeved about Dick having the JLA transporter codes. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well, I think he's in the right to be a little surprised that he has BATMAN'S override code. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	runespoor7 2009-06-11 01:31 am UTC (link)
	They must change the codes from times to times. Sound policy since they occasionally get supervillains in the Watchtower, too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	icon_uk 2009-06-11 07:21 am UTC (link)
	He did indeed, but it's possible that non-active members have to use security protocols that take longer to sort out, Dick circumvented that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Okay, that's awesome. (Reply to this)

	Two perfect words to describe Nightwing, no? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	OPM with Dick should always involve his backside. (Reply to this)

	Okay, I know I'm late to the party, but I just have to gush: this truly IS a perfect moment, with Dick being smart, athletic, beautiful, sexy...and of course, showing off his ass! ;) Bruce needs his sass! And ass, too, I suppose. ;) (Reply to this)
