"...And as for objectifying Nightwing's character... she's not the first nor the last writer to have had characters remark on him being beautiful."
True, true. But no writer before (or since, really) did (or has done) so to such a great extent -- see the other Anon's comment about the 'Rise of Sin Tzu' novel upthread for one rather OTT example.
Again, I liked Grayson's writing more often than not, but I do think her portrayal of Nightwing was often compromised by a certain amount of objectification.
