NIGHTWING, BATMAN AND ADOPTION PROBLEMS:
I have been a DC Comics fan since the 1970s, but only in the last ten years have I started reading more about the so-called "Batman family.” Every family has its characters, but let's face it, the patriarch of this one is at best a borderline personality, at worst a functional psychopath. Aside from his willingness to terrorize, Mame and torture in the name of stopping crime, Bruce Wayne/Batman has another disturbing legacy: his habit of adopting and weaponizing orphaned boys.
Should DC Comics better address a father who weaponized his adopted children? Read this feature.

SCHOLARS LOOK AT 75 YEARS OF ROBIN AND NIGHTWING
Kristen L. Geaman (editor)
Dick Grayson — alter-ego of the original Robin of Batman comics — has gone through various changes in his 75 years as a superhero but has remained the optimistic, humorous character readers first embraced in 1940. Predating Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, he is one of DC Comics' oldest heroes and retains a large and loyal fanbase.
The first scholarly work to focus exclusively on the Boy Wonder, this collection of new essays features critical analysis, as well as interviews with some of the biggest names to study Dick Grayson, including Chuck Dixon, Devin Grayson and Marv Wolfman. The contributors discuss his vital place in the Batman saga, his growth and development into an independent hero, Nightwing, and the many storyline connections which put him at the center of the DC Universe. His character is explored in the contexts of feminism, trauma, friendship, and masculinity.

GRAYSON, SUPER SPY
To the citizens of Earth, he's dead — but death is the perfect cover for this very unusual departure in the Dick Grayson story. As the newest member of the top-secret spy ring, Spiral, Grayson helps scour the globe for the pieces of the Paragon, a slain god whose every organ is a weapon of mass destruction. Great artwork, great story... and a little help from Batman and the Bat Fam, too.
