DC Favorite Couples Tournament: The Case for Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon!
I put up a post making the case for Lois and Clark Kent/Superman to earn your vote for Favorite DC Couple. I didn’t get any submissions for Babs and Dick but you can read this one from two years ago which is very good.
And here’s some vintage Valentines of them.

The winners of Friday’s matches were Lois Lane and Superman and Kate Kane and Renee Montoya.
Here are today’s matches. The semifinal, consisting of today’s and Friday’s winners, is tomorro. The final is on, what else, Valentine’s Day. As in past years I’m going to look for a guest post on why each of the finalists should win. The post will have to be turned around fairly quickly so if you think you would be interested drop me a note on what couple and a link to something else you’ve written at dcwomenkickingass at the yahoo address. Here are today’s matches:
Bruce Wayne/Batman and Selina Kyle/Catwoman!
vs.
Tim Drake/Robin, Red Robin and Stephanie Brown/Spoiler, Robin, Batgirl!
and
Dick Grayson/Robin, Nightwing and Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, Oracle
Wally West/Flash and Linda Park-West
There is also a non-canon match today so look for that too. Polling closes at 8:30 PM EST.
One vote per person, please.
Nightwing almost kept the blue
Kyle Higgins today tweeted Cully Hamner’s original design for Nighwing’s costume today that resembled the last version seen in comics:
Well close but no finger stripes. For what Higgins says were “design reasons” the went with this version.
I’ll never not look at this and not think of this. At least there’s no plastic nipples.
Gates of Gotham #5 variant cover by Dustin Nguyen. Love seeing Black Bat on covers.
I may have to get this variant. Cass + Dustin = FTW!
Oh. My. After seeing this I kinda want him back as Nightwing.
Today, the first day of Spring, is the birthday of post-Crisis Dick Grayson. Not to be confused with November 11, the birthday of the pre-Crisis Dick Grayson. Because the pre-Crisis one falls on the same day as mine, it is the one I choose to celebrate as I did in the “Dick Grayson Loves Women” series of posts.
To celebrate someone has put together a wonderful drawing of ALL the Batsiblings and their Dad spelling out his name. Damian and Jason are the D, Bruce the I, Tim doing his best Madonna impression as the C and Steph and Cass, um, are the K.
Wonderful.
Took me forever to realize what I was looking at. It’s a dick!
Dick Grayson Loves Women: Nightwing and Wonder Girl
This is by the same artist, Ammotu, who did the Men of DCU I posted earlier. He does commissions and his samples look great.
Theme Week: Dick Grayson, the man who loves DC women who kick ass
According to the 1976 DC Comics calendar, this Thursday, November 11, is the birthday of Richard Grayson, the triple threat of the Batverse. And when you look at the women of DC, Dick has had a relationship with a lot of them. And not just his romantic relationships with Kory, Barbara, Clancy and Helena but his friendships with Donna. His big brother role with Supergirl and his relationships with his female teammates on the Titans and the Outsiders.
Is there any male DC character who seems to like women as much as Dick?
Sure, he can be a, well a dick, at times as he was with Cass Cain (can we chalk that up to bad writing?). But who accepted Stephanie as Batgirl? Who gave Kate Kane a Batarang to show her acceptance into the Batfamily?
Of course, there have been times when Dick hasn’t been 
welcoming. (That’s Talia, of course.) But for the most part I feel that Dick is female friendly (The double entendres just flow like … I’ll stop now). So this week I am going to pay tribute to the Dick Grayson and his relationships with women. And I want you to help. See November 11 is also my birthday. And to give me a bit of a break this week, I would like you to contribute to my joint celebration with Mr. Grayson. I’d love to hear your thoughts about Dick and women. (You know what I mean). I am going to be highlighting his relationships with Kory and Babs on Wednesday and Thursday and I welcome contributions on what you think about Dick and those women. I’d also like to feature your favorite panels of Dick with female characters as well as any thinky thoughts you wish to contribute about Mr. Grayson and women. I’ll credit you, of course. You can submit by email (dcwomenkickingass@hotmail) or using the “Submit” button. So what do you think about Dick Grayson, the man who loves DC Women?
One of my favorite DA Bat-artists is …
.. without question Blumoonx06x. They draw a beautiful Babs. Go visit the gallery. Wonderful stuff.
“Wear the mask” - I don’t ship them a lot, but this one definitely gets me.
Batgirl. Watching over. I’ve posted this one before.
Dick rubs Babs’ shoulders while she digs up some data for him. No matter what those two have a special bond. A sweet portrait by Ph1shf00d.
This is from Batman Family #1 from 1975. In pre-Crisis Babs was a Congresswoman of about 25 years old and Dick was a college student. Babs kissed Dick mainly for fun, but many readers freaked out at the idea that two would be paired up:
It would be almost 15 years until the two kissed again in Birds of Prey #8
Check out that dip.

While I was digging around for the floppy of Nighwing Annual #2 I found this gem in my files. It’s no secret I love Marc Andreyko who wrote the issue. And there were are a number of cute scenes. But then there is this. Dick had showed up at Babs’ apartment the previous evening to see her for the first time since TKJ. They were having a passionate reunion until Dick announces his news. I hate it because it makes Dick out to be a gigantic replica of his name. And it is, I feel, needlessly cruel to Babs.
