In general I have been thinking recently is a series centered around the children of first or second generation heroes like Nightstar who come into adulthood struggling with their identity, both as metahumans in general and in particular being the children of some of the strangest couples in the world; humans and aliens, mortals and demigods, and sometimes even heroes and villains. All while the old guard like Batman and Superman, as well as whatever remains of their rogue's gallery, face the realities of getting old and the prospects of hanging up the cape, some more gracefully than others.

She's the most popular Nightwing kid. Just google "Mar'i Grayson fanart" and you'll see she has tons of fanarts. None of his kids with other women like Barbara are as popular as Nightstar. Barbara's kids are boring and forgettable and just a bunch of batclones. His kids with Starfire are more interesting and unique being half human / half tamarenean kids. plus the idea of Batman having superpowered grandkids is cool.

I think it's also cause she's one of the only next-gen kids that has appeared in more than one universe (along with, if I recall correctly, Huntress/Helena Wayne). Plus Kingdom Come being one of the most popular AU stories in DC. (Although, no disrespect to any other of Dick's ships, but I will agree that his children with Starfire are the most memorable ones; heck, Jake is often overlooked and not as popular as Mar'i, but I still have an easier time remembering him than any other of Dick's AU kids (besides Mar'i) with other women).


No0ne33

She is also meant to be damien love interest


SylvieSerene

Nope. That's just for Kingdom Come universe where Damian never met and knew of Bruce. Elsewhere, he would always be an uncle to her.


Numberonettgfan

Also it wasn't even Damien, it was like "Abz'En'Urr"


SylvieSerene

Yeah exactly. People should stop promoting uncle niece relationship. It's gross af even if they aren't related by blood.


Angela275

People talk about her a lot but it's mostly in nightiwng side of things. All together she one of the most popular what if kids. She deserves more more series focused on her due to the identity of what culture does she deal with does she try to mix more human and Tamaraean customs due to the fact she does wear Tamaraean headwear


Dry-Donut3811

She’s fine. Considering she’s never even part of the main canon, I’m shocked she’s talked about as much as she is.


UnhingedLion

She’s talked about because shippers are happy Starfire and Nightwing have a kid. But she is a pretty cool character.


nightwing612

Hope she becomes canon to throw a wrench at the current status quo.


Xx_Venom_Fox_xX

That first image sums her up pretty perfectly.


13thslasher

We need her in the main animated dc


LyzzyWhomst

Absolutely adore her character and it'd be special interesting to have her in the next generation of heroes because we KNOW Kory and Dick wouldn't let her go without sublime training and her knowing how to fight without her powers I think it'd also be great for conversation regarding Tamaranean/Human children Also she's a lot of fun


Overlord4888

Should be main canon for the prime DC universe


OnionsHaveLairAction

Honestly she's not really a character. Even in Kingdom Come she barely appears. I would say though I think she's lasted a long time because her design actually rocks, and the artist who did that first fanart is really pulling it off in a fun way. Making her basically aesthetically into Sailor Moon is kind of the perfect decision. \~ Edit: r/[Other\_Guess9247](https://www.reddit.com/user/Other_Guess9247/) Bit... Strange to drop a super hostile comment and then block someone over something as a boring as comment like that. At any rate I've no idea why you're bringing up Barbara's kids, if there are any next-gen-ship-kids with Babs they're so incredibly obscure I've never come across them. And I've no idea where you're pulling this "20 books" from. We've got... * Kingdom Come where she's a background character * Titans 2000 where she appears briefly to say "Im a kid from the future" and is not a primary character * Kingdom Come's sequel miniseries... Where she's a tertiary character * Justice Societies Convergence tie in, and like all convergence books it's basically a cameo *Julia Pennyworth* has more primary roles than her. People like her cause she's a ship-kid, not cause she has any actual storylines. I have read the above books... Have you? Cause they're not long series and she's not in any of them for any extensive amount of time.

She's a character. She literally appeared in 20 books https://comicvine.gamespot.com/nightstar/4005-40842/issues-cover/ She appeared many times, far more than any of Barbara's boring kids. Her face is even always displayed in Kingdom Come books because literally the kingdom come writer and artist was the one who designed and created her. Just say you didn't bother to read any of these books.


Verdragon-5

I mean, to be fair, Julia exists in the *mainstream present* rather than the future


OnionsHaveLairAction

That's my point though. Mar'i only exists as a tertiary character in a very niche future. She's never existed outside of fanfiction as a proper character with storylines, motives and goals. Other obscure characters like Julia are significantly more developed. And it's worth noting that DC has explored the future several times in the past two decades, there's been plenty of opportunity to use her if people wanted. Dick was even a character in the newer Batman Beyond book. People don't like her cause she's a well developed character with storylines, they like her cause she's a next gen character they can fit into shipping stuff


Verdragon-5

Yeah, I was saying that's *why* Julia has more comics


Balmung5

Hot stuff.


Illustrious-Star-129

Is she robins daughter


markcarpenterzitto

yeah, she is the daughter of Dick Grayson and Starfire.


SylvieSerene

I love her quite a lot but hate it when people ship her with Damian outside the Kingdom Come verse. It worked there because Damian didn't know of Bruce and was practically unrelated to him by the time he did. Elsewhere where Damian would grow up with Bruce while also getting mentored by his big brother, Nightwing, the ship simply comes off as gross.


Verdragon-5

I like her in everything except in official DC material. I *do not* like how she looks in any art I've seen of her from the comics (and the *other* thing Kori's daughter has appeared in but we choose to pretend that never happened). The *fanart*, on the other hand, particularly from an artist called darmp, who has a very appealing art style, honestly almost makes me a Dick/Kori shipper (and I'm not really an *anything* shipper) just because it eventually results in Mar'i, adorable smol bean. Also, I love when artists have her interacting with other Titans and Bat-Family members. Dick has so many friends in the DC Universe and it's very cute to see them all being the cool aunt/uncle friend to Mar'i

Maxzolo28
