Nightwing



Robin and Nightwing, two of my favorite characters from all time. I've decided to do a sort of profile of both. The original Robin, Dick Grayson, was the sidekick of Batman for many years in the world of DC comics, before the character Robin was retired and later on Dick Grayson became Nightwing.

There have been multiple Robins over the course of the Batman series, my favorite being Dick Grayson, but the incarnations of this character afterwards were as follows, Jason Todd, who was murdered by the Joker, Tim Drake, retired, Stephanie Brown, the first female Robin, killed by the super villain, BlackMask, Tim Drake returns as Robin.
Dick Grayson and him family were originally acrobatic preformers that would travel city to city showing off their acrobatics talents. His talents were later used by him to assist the Batman as Robin. His family was brutally murdered but he was saved as a child by Batman and basically raised through all of his teen years by the Batman. His main goal was to avenge his family and help society better itself.
Nightwing branches off of the Dick Grayson line of Robin, after becoming more independent and rebellious towards Batman and not wanting to be a sidekick anymore, Dick Grayson exits the Bat Cave and becomes Nightwing, a very awesome looking character of the Batman family. He is probably my favorite of all of the superheros I've seen, though Green Lantern is up there.
Nightwing uses many different forms of marshal arts to fight bad guys, and many fighting techniques that he picked up from his mentor, Batman, he also uses long sticks which are called Kali sticks that have sheathes attached to the end of them. He is very sharp in the mind and is able to use his keen detective skills to get himself out of many traps.
Ya so basically i love cartoons too much to explain it, it might be actually abnormal. So I've decided to change the direction of my blog and make it so that I am focusing on one of the different sides of my life besides Tae Kwon Do and band, which get boring after a while. I'm going to post about my favorite cartoons/ superheros and do little many profiles of them.
