My favorite obscure DC trivia lore is that Dick Grayson was a candidate for the Green Lantern corp in a comic issue from way back. Because think of the comedy potential. “Night Lantern” is the only GL Batman likes. Hal Jordan gets shit all the time from Batman, but Night Lantern swoops in cheerfully like “where do you need me” during crisis #515273826 and Batman works with him just fine. Even Bruce himself doesn’t understand it.

And, like, people confuse Dick with Kyle all the time. So sometimes they just go with it and pretend to be each other just to keep the joke running.

Nightwing (Blue Lantern) and Superboy 💥

Anon, I don't know if this was intentional on your part, but "hottiest" brings to my mind a combination of the superlatives "hottest" and "thottiest" which tbh is hilarious and amazing.

Hotness and thottiness is of course in the eye of the beholder but obviously I have to nominate my faves.

Or maybe some combination thereof? 😏 Consider:

Hal Grayson/Night Lantern (Mash-Up universe):

Just imagine how legendary that cake must be.

2. Bat-Lantern (Earth-32)

(Yes that's his name.)

Hybrid Birds Recently, a mate of mine directed my attention towards the latest issue of Dial H for Hero (1 January 2020) and wanted to know my thoughts on the Robins shown (Middle Row). It is not a series that I follow, but I was intrigued and took a look. The two hybrid Robins are rather intriguing and I like the name that Miguel Montez (the main protagonist) gave the Donna Troy/Dick Grayson Hybrid: Disc Troy (Middle Left). Apparently, these hybrid Robins are from Earth 32 where odd hybrids are common. These hybrid Robins reminded me of Hal Grayson as Night Lantern (Upper Left), Jubilation Lee as Sparrow (Lower Left), and Selina Kyle as Catbird (Lower Middle), which made me wonder what other hybrids I could find, which lead me to the photoset above. A Hypertime Conner Kent as Superboy who was taught by Batman when Tim Drake as Robin died (Upper Left), Everett K. Ross as Robin in a Black Panther/Marvel Universe (Upper Middle), and Rachel Roth as Raven who gained Robin's powers (Lower Right) completes the photoset. Image Source:

Deathstroke is back.

Years after vanishing in the aftermath of Dark Crisis #2, Slade Wilson resurfaces with a calculated plan—one that begins and ends with Nightwing. Lured into a deserted warehouse under false pretenses, Dick Grayson walks straight into a trap designed specifically for him. No backup. No escape. Just the world’s deadliest assassin… and a grudge that never died.

The ambush is brutal.

But in his darkest moment—when hope should be gone—it ignites.

From distant worlds, the fall of gods and guardians sends two legendary powers across the universe… searching for one worthy of both.
