Description Nightwing's tired of living in the shadow. He's dignified and created his own.

Why don't you come into his world? I'm sure he'll appriciate it.

I blame a sudden burst of emotion I had earlier in the morning. I'M tired of living in someone else's shadow. Nightwing's talking.

Hush now.

Full view please. it looks better.

I remember being stunned/shocked when I saw Old Wounds. The episode that dealt with how Dick quit Robin.

It has far reach consequences for the Batclan.

Of course it was time to grow up, pull out, but naturally he still left wreckage of a kind.

Poor Babs caught in the middle of it without knowing all the details.

Catwoman calls him Man Wonder in You Scratch My Back. She says this to Batman. Of course we learn later that the whole thing is setup on Catwoman.

Oooh yeeah that eppy was fantastic.. I haven't seen it in forever now. But I agree, it was one of those landmark episodes. it just kinda.. had to be. heh.

Indeed she does! I remember that episode quite well actually!

Thanks so much for the favorite and the comment. I should really start drawing more Bat-art these days...

I mean in some ways I feel like he made the hard call and he was sick of the way he thought Batman was doing things.

He starts to come into his own opinion. However having a secret of his own and Barbara having one of her own complicated things.

Bruce knew, said nothing, said it was her call to tell and vice versa for him.

I'm like how do you not notice even slight alike qualities between the girl you are dating and the girl you fight crime with.

I think the punch set Bruce and Batman straight that maybe you are getting a little out of hand.

The same episode also in slight ways dips into how things were between Dick and Babs before. The way she holds that picture of the two that Dick kept is more than just recognition. Although that might be just me thinking.

I just don't think their feelings for each other even went away entirely.

Out of curiosity how do you use these animated smileys?

Yeeeah... I mean if you've seen Mr. and Mrs. Smith (the movie) even they both eventually figure it out. f course, one sooner than the other.. but still. Stuff like that in a relationship is something you tend to notice.. unless you're just THAT blind

Oh no.. those feelings would forever remain. Tis just how those two are built. Nomatter what happens they'll always have that togetherness.

Annnd a lot of the emoticons are variations of normal smilies : ) and : ( (without the space) There's an emoticon legend that you can look at to see all of them. When you click on something to reply (like if you reply from your inbox or whatever) there's a small text link on the right of the text box that says "emoticons" click it and it shows you a bunch and how to use them. Then of course there's user made ones that are fun to use. Liike Though they're actually user icons in random accounts that people use for smilies.

Of those two almost kill each other first then have rough make-up sex.

Yeah you can't switch off who you love.

And nooo you cannot!

Knight-Watcher In reply to Oracle01 [2009-12-31 18:04:04 +0000 UTC]

yep. of course that's the first time they showed her animated in a dress, so it was definitely hard to top that.

The little black dress in the Old Wounds flashback was lovely, but the blue one is still my favorite.

it most certainly was/is that.

Her dad's reaction was/is priceless.

Of course it certainly looks Dick took notice.

As for Bruce he totally brushes off Veronica Vreeland. That's another character whose animated look changed over the years.

Oracle01 In reply to Knight-Watcher [2010-01-02 13:46:42 +0000 UTC]

heheeh Dick would notice anything on her. The boy has it bad for her for sure.

OOOH yeah.. Ronnie's look did take a couple of changes... For the better though. Same with Selina.

Knight-Watcher In reply to Oracle01 [2010-01-02 18:07:33 +0000 UTC]

Yes the TNBA revamp shifted everyone into a StAS like style.
I believe he does the only thing was I don't think we ever saw them kiss. The closest they got that I can recall is in Subzero right before Freeze turns up looking for her.

Hair style wise Selina was a change and the costume went all black. I still have a thing for some the older animated costumes, but Selina is Selina.

Catwoman is Catwoman.

Freeze was definitely a more sympathetic villain starting with Heart of Ice.

Fewer appearances by a character certainly give quality but also find good stories for them.

The same went for Clayface, but in his case they said he was the most expensive to animate.

Timm often said he wasn't too happy with the animation they got for BtAS.

Though like all things animation the years show the progression and lay the ground work for improv.

Of course Bullock doesn't look all that different.

I was glad they promoted Renee. She more than earned it.

Indeedy. Can't go too wrong with Catwoman, really. I mean there have been some disasters for as far as costume goes, but meeeh...

Ahhh yeah... Kinda crazy that a lot of 2D stuff is put on the back burner now because of the 3D stuff. Back when i was a kid I wanted to do colors for the OOOOLD style of animation. Good ole cell animation D: I still have some of my early practice tests.... I loved cell painting.. Could be why i love coloring so much especially digitally.

Very good, I like it a lot. Though I do not believe it is the Nightwing I know. I've really only seen the one on Teen Titans and he had long hair. As a slight critique, his shoulders are a bit too broad. {sp}

Oracle01 In reply to RavensAngel [2005-06-15 05:56:41 +0000 UTC]

*blinks* You've only seen the Teen Titan Go Nightwing?

M' dear, you haven't really seen Nightwing then. *grins* I suggest you run to your nearest comic book store and pick up a good NIghtwing comic. (Probably back before Devin Grayson started writing for the book, Arugh. She killed him)

But thanks.

No, I've only seen the SHOW Teen Titan's Nightwing. Same as the one in your art but with long hair. I've seen the orginal one as well, I'm not THAT sheltered.

Oracle01 In reply to RavensAngel [2005-06-15 22:35:12 +0000 UTC]

Ahhhhh.... But have you read the Nightwing comics, is the question?

Yeeah, he was naturally supposed to have long hair, but I wanted to do a cross between the BTAS Nightwing and the comic one. That's what resulted.

RavensAngel In reply to Oracle01 [2005-06-15 22:40:24 +0000 UTC]

No I have not read the Nightwing comics though I really do want to. Hopefully amongst the comics I think my dad will be sending me there will be some Nightwing ones. It is sad though, I mean that I haven't read them.
