I am curious. Which is your favorite of all of Dick's friendships? Why? Also do you prefer him with Babs or Kori? I am one of the few who think both relationships were beautiful

What’s not to like about Dick and Donna? Their friendship is so pure. I like how they can go to each other with their problems and have someone to listen to that they’re not romantically involved with. Cause sometimes Donna needs reassurance about her relationships and her past or Dick needs someone who’s not from the Batfam checking up on him. Plus, there’s nothing better than Donna telling Dick she loves him and Dick immediately responding in kind. They’re just so adorable in the most platonic way possible.
As for the dickbabs vs dickkory debacle, I don’t actively root for either pairing. Dick loved them both and benefited from his relationships with them in different ways. Each relationship had its shining and negative moments. It would be nice if people stopped pitting Kory and Babs against each other. They’re both kickass superheroes that don’t need to be defined by their relationship with Dick. That’s just my two cents.

Reblog if you think demigenders are a valid gender, and like if you don’t.
I understand the appeal of wanting every adult hero to instinctively adopt teenage Peter Parker, but can it really beat the hilarity of acknowledging that at 15 Peter was 5'10", unusually buff, went by a moniker with Man in it, wore a creepy full face mask, and had a tightly guarded secret identity and probably a Queens accent thick enough to have come out of a jello mold, and adult heroes reasonably responded to him by going, “Wow, this grown man is an immature asshole for no reason.”
Nightwing has used six main suits over the years, as well as several up-armored variants. In general, his suit is a tri-layered, insulated, Nomex/Kevlar body armor. Most versions can heat up in the cold, resist bullets, resist flames, and electrocute enemies. Certain versions of the suit also included a glider function, such as the second blue/gold suit worn in the 1990s. The third version, which was blue/black and included the fan-favorite finger stripes, was made of "a controlled photo-chromic fabric" which could shift the colors of the suit from blue to navy for increased stealth capabilities. Nightwing also possesses up-armored variants of his traditional black/blue suits, seen in situations when he was facing threats of immense power, such as in Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day, and Convergence: Nightwing/Oracle. In a potential future in Nightwing: The New Order, Nightwing also designed a more high-tech, armored version of his suit. Most versions of his suit, including the original, the fingerstripes, and the New 52, use gauntlets to carry Nightwing's gadgets.

In the two DC events Dark Knights: Metal and Dark Knights: Death Metal, Nightwing wore specialized suits. The first was a thermal armor designed by Batman, which aided Nightwing in battling Mr. Freeze. The second was a Death Metal variant of Nightwing's armor, used to blend into the twisted version of Earth created by the Batman Who Laughs.

The Rebirth/Infinite Frontier era version of the suit is reminiscent of his black/blue fingerstripes suit, but no longer uses gauntlets to store his gadgets. This incarnation includes an in-suit defibrillator, as well as a small backpack for Nightwing's sticks and other gadgets. The Fingerstripes 2.0 suit is similar, but has been upgraded by Mr. Terrific to be thinner and have more resistance to bullets and knives, as well as an in-suit glider.

In the Batman Beyond timeline, though Dick was no longer active as Nightwing, he did use a futuristic black and blue biker suit on occasion, which resembled his old Nightwing gear.

During DC's Future State event, which explored a possible future in which Gotham has become a police state, Dick has become the leader of the resistance fighters, and his suit reflects that. It retains the classic elements, but is more armored and cobbled together.
Future State: Nightwing #1
Later on in the Future State timeline, Dick escaped Gotham and joined his old Titans friends. During this time, the years of trauma, from the death of Batman to the collapse of the Titans Academy weighed heavily on Dick, and he switched to a modified version of his second blue and gold Nightwing suit, which included a combination of his and Deathstroke's mask, as well as a gun.
Future State: Teen Titans #1
The Mask:
Nightwing's domino mask attaches to his face with an adhesive, and has a built in radio, thermal vision, self destruct, night vision, and build in protective lenses. The mask of the red New 52 version of his suit could also pair with a syringe in his glove to perform chemical analysis.

In the event his mask was removed or lost, Nightwing also built a self destruct feature into it, and carried a spare in the lining of his suit, a habit he picked up as Robin.

The Gauntlets:
Nightwing's gauntlets are a key part of his suit, replacing the need for a utility belt. Contained within them are many gadgets and tools, including a portable computer, communicator, GPS, 100,000 volt taser, laser cutter, rope launcher, and self destruct charges.

If anybody has a reference for one character bandaging up another character then PLEASE send it to me I've been trying to draw it for ever and I can't get it right
my headcannons on how the flash fam uses their powers
jay- didn't have the speedforce until later in his career so doesn't really use it much in his fighting instead he'll quickly disarm someone or skid across the ground to trip someone up - his fighting style consists of tackling to subdue and sidesteps to dodge as he was a college American football player
barry- had the speedforce but didn't understand it as well as wally did so he could vibrate through Walls and make them explode with the correct frequency he'd do the spinny hands tornado thing and other tornado-y things more than the other flashes he would often throw lightning by getting a good run up and then stopping suddenly and whipping his arms forward to have it flow past him
wally- taking inspiration from young justice he couldn't really phase through walls and wasn't as good running up walls or with the tornado-y stuff so when he became the flash and became so powerful with the speedforce he never really learned he's the best with the lightning and can produce it at will and since he's the fastest he can go around buildings faster than the others can phase which is always amusing
bart- because he was born with the speedforce and spent his whole (three years of) life developing it it's the most defined- he doesn't cause explosions by phasing he just vibrates his hand puts against a wall and channels the speedforce into the wall and then there's these pulses (heh see what I did there) that go through it before it explodes- Bart has the most creative ways of using the speedforce hence the speed clones- sidenote his powers manifest as pulses rather than lightning (except for the lightning trail behind him) e.g when he throws the speedforce energy it is in these circular blasts until it makes contact with a target then it turns into electricity
Wallace- he's the newest with the speedforce so his lightning is the least refined and the most red and it crackles off of him in the largest amounts when he uses even the slightest amount of his powers- he can control his friction in a way the others can't making it so he can slide against the ground like an ice skater (which is how he runs mostly so he's the most elegant) or he can become completely immovable at a moment's notice (not like he can't be pushed but when he'd be running at full speed he can just stop completely) so he can run on walls the best and when he runs he leaves sparks behind him and even after his lightning there's a glowing red trail of sparks that follow him everywhere and because of this he grafts his emblem wherever he stops a crime as his signature - also as older wally can steal speed Wallace can imbue things with the speedforce temporarily giving his allies a speed boost or making a vehicle a speedforce construct (like older wally does for his suit or hot pursuit has his bike)
I'm gonna make a part two later with irey jai the tornado twins Jesse etc
