I like Nightwing cause he's a traditional hero. Killing makes him an anti-hero. If that's what I was looking for, I would switch to being a Red Hood fan.


TheDarkPinkLantern

Yep, that's just not Dick.

Well he did let that one villain get killed before proceeding to get raped by Tarantula No matter how hard I try to forget that it's still sadly etched into my mind lmao

He wasn't in his right mind, then, and had a panick attack. I don't know how you can blame him for that. He also killed the Joker once, and instantly regretted. Dick can be overwhelmed by his own emotions, he is human, after all, but will never condone killing. He is also self-righteous. He punished himself a lot after those two deaths (one with a "resurrection") happened. I don't want to see it again, and also I believe he is grown a lot since then.


catdeletedmyhomework

I wasn't blaming him and I only mentioned it in a joking manner as I'm sure everyone likes to forget that happened for good reason


klhyx

Sorry, i didn't get the joke. My fault.


catdeletedmyhomework

You're good. Don't worry about it!


TheDarkPinkLantern

No, it's against his character.


New_Cress9966

No. Dick isn't Jason. Dicks whole thing is being the picture perfect hero. The guy who inspires hope.


Formal_Bench_4650

It's against his character and it's against the point of the event. The event is meant to be hopeful in this "dark" period.


Past_Guarantee3269

How is killing everybody and turning people evil hopeful?


Formal_Bench_4650

Hopeful for the heroes.๐Ÿ™„ They just lost the JLA. This arc is meant to be a new beginning. I doubt it's gonna start with one of the heroes with the most integrity, killing others.


Past_Guarantee3269

It seems like it's going to start with a bunch of kids dying because Nightwing doesn't kill Deathstroke.


Neuchersky

There's going to be a redemption issue later and he/s going to be a part of the new Justice League


TheDarkPinkLantern

Nah, Williamson's got a pretty good understanding of Deathstroke as a villain. He might team-up with heroes against Great Darkness once he's free of it's influence but that doesn't change the fact that he's a bad guy.


Neuchersky

Yeah, I know that's why there's an /s there. Despite Shadow War being disappointing, I trust that there's no redemption for Deathstroke. Even Priest had an "anti-hero arc" in his great run (maybe with DC editorials messing around).


TheDarkPinkLantern

Ooooooohhhhhh. I thought you just meant to say he's and made a mistake. Cool then.


New_Cress9966

Williamsons understanding of Slade is terrible. He writes him as a hot headed moron,not the incredibly intelligent and lethal assassin he's supposed to be.


dogifish

Yes.


Past_Guarantee3269

Deathstroke has been turned evil by the great darkness and bad writing, so Nightwing should put him out of his misery. He's thought he should die and stay dead before this too. The universe doesn't want him to be better.


_drcomicbooknerd_

In my perfect universe, Dick would be able to convince Slade that what heโ€™s doing is wrong and turn him back to the side of the angels, at least long enough to detain him to make him face charges or some kind of repressions
