_________________________________________
Here are my thoughts about NTT Dickkory:
They weren't a perfect couple. They had fights and misunderstandings like any other couple but they worked through their issues and helped fix each other.
Because of Kory, Dick stopped putting up walls. She taught him not to overwork himself, to be more open, to stop repressing his emotions and to understand that life offers much more than a job and responsibilities. She helped stopped him from turning into Batman 2.0.
At the same time, Dick kept Kory from becoming a murderer like her enemies. Kory learned to stop being reckless with her powers. He taught her mercy and patience.
Some people complain and say that Dick disrespected Koryâs culture but I disagree. Dick cared about Kory enough to correct her when she was wrong. Think about it: if someone you love told you , âI want to kill my bully tomorrow,â would you say yes??? If you truly love them, you wouldnât agree even if killing felt justified. Youâd stop them because you know itâs morally wrong to take another person's life and you don't want your loved one to go to jail.
Another thing: itâs also like if you came from a communist country and then decided to move to a democratic one. You donât demand that the new country follow communist laws. You adjust. Thatâs what Kory learned. Just because killing was okay on Tamaran doesnât mean itâs okay on Earth. Remember, Dick was one of the people who taught Kory about Earth and helped her adjust to it as an immigrant, so of course heâd also teach her about human laws along the way so she wouldnât get herself into trouble.
And about the marriage of state, Dick was upset at first, because of course, who wouldnât be upset if the partner you're deeply in love with, who you thought was only going to be yours, was actually going to marry someone else? But he eventually learned to accept that a political Tamaranean marriage doesnât hold any validity on Earth.
Throughout the entire NTT run, you will see Dick and Kory already resolved the issue about Batman, Killing and her Political Marriage with Karass.
I donât think Dick had any intention of disrespecting Koryâs culture. He only disagreed when it came to things that affect the law. Outside of that, he embraced and loved the parts of her that were Tamaranean. He loved how open and free she was with her emotions. He literally said thatâs what made him fall for her. He loved how joyful she was despite everything sheâd suffered, and how different she was from Batman.
Their relationship wasnât just about love. It was about growth and compromise. It reminded people that you have to correct each other, too. If you see your partner doing something wrong, you donât enable it. You help each other figure out whatâs right and whatâs not. Kory taught Dick that itâs not okay to isolate himself and Dick taught Kory that itâs not okay to choose violence.
Kory opens him up, while Dick grounds her. They both challenge each other to be better.
Because of this, they couldâve overcome anything, even the Mirage incident and Ravenâs disastrous wedding. I honestly think the only thing that broke them up wasnât each other but the editors. We know they were originally going to get married through Art Thibertâs planned Nightwing series at the time, and Marv even approved of the idea, but it was canceled because of editorial decisions, so it was rewritten into a disastrous wedding. Thatâs why I think Kory victim-blaming Dick in New Titans #99 was out of character. I believe it wasnât supposed to happen originally because, prior to #99, Dick and Kory had already resolved the Mirage incident. In New Titans #95, they planned revenge on Mirage for what she did to both of them (deceiving Dick into sleeping with her and exploiting Koryâs image). Later, Kory even felt bad for Mirage despite everything sheâd done.
After they got revenge, Dick and Kory seemed to have fully moved on from Mirage. They were enjoying each otherâs company and laughing together again. They even celebrated when Dick could finally go out with Kory publicly without disguising himself. Nothing in those issues suggested that Kory was holding a grudge against Dick or that the Mirage incident was an unresolved issue in their relationship.
Thereâs also Titans Sell-Out Special, which came out before #99. It included a promotional cover for Art Thibertâs Nightwing series that was supposed to launch after New Titans #100. In that book, Mirage went on vacation with them and even though Mirage joined them, Kory wasnât mad at Dick at all. She was happy and smiling with him. They were even kissing. That implies DC was still planning for them to have a successful marriage at that point.
Thatâs why Koryâs reaction in #99 feels out of place to me. She suddenly gets angry at Dick again over the Mirage incident, even though in the previous issues she appeared to have already moved past it.
So I think the original wedding plan was canceled sometime between New Titans #95 and #99. The story was altered to make the Mirage incident their conflict again and that conflict led to the âmarrying for the wrong reasonâ wedding and the âRaven possessing Starfireâ storyline, which was then used as a reason to progressively break them up in the process because Dick had to be pulled out of the Titans books so he could move back to the Bat-editorial group who didnât want him dating a superpowered character in their books.
Overall, what I will say to the haters of NTT Dickkory is that you can find DickKory unhealthy, thatâs your own interpretation but you cannot say that their entire history was just a teenage fling. They dated for a decade (1980â1994).
You can say Kory wasnât the best partner for Dick and vice versa, but you cannot deny that they were genuinely in love with each other when they were together.
You can dislike Dickkory. Itâs your personal preference, but you cannot say Kory was just the âdisposable slutty alienâ to Dick. Dickâs entire characterization in NTT contradicts that made up claim.
You can prefer Dick with someone else and vice versa, but you canât ignore the fact that Dick and Kory were an important part of each otherâs histories and that shouldn't be ignored.
You can prefer Dick with Barbara but you cannot say Barbara was the one and only woman he genuinely loved.
And you cannot say Dickbabs is much healthier. NTT Dickkory only had 3 fights while there are literally 10+ panels of Dickbabs fighting and abusing each other.
