Smile for the birdie, Bullseye! Next!
Bullseye is lucky. If his opponent had been Van-Zee disguised as the Kandorian Nightwing, but with a Lobo-style attitude...well, let's just say that he would've been one French-fried bastiche.
@Carycomic: hey! That gives me an idea. Captain America and the Kryptonian Nightwing vs. Lobo being mind-controlled by the Red Skull!
I read somewhere that (the Golden Age) Dick Grayson's original Robin costume was designed to dare criminals to shoot at him, because he could always avoid their bullets somehow. Accurate or not, that report got me to thinking that maybe he does have a super-power, in the form of super-dodging. With that perspective, this match-up of super-accuracy versus super-dodging would be an interesting one -- a variation on the irresistible force meeting the immovable object.
Given that this is what's on the cover, though, I doubt that Nightwing defeating Bullseye would be the end of the tale; at the latest, it ends the first act.
I, too, would love to see the Netflix version of Bullseye in a variation of his comics costume, but for that to happen the PTB at Marvel (and Disney) would have to come around to allowing those iterations of the characters to rejoin the MCU, and nobody I've heard from think that that's likely to happen. I think that that's a pity, since Charlie Cox pretty much became the definitive Daredevil (and Mike Colter was almost as good as Luke Cage). Given the mid-credits scene in Spider-Man: Far From Home, a supporting role for Matt Murdock would seem appropriate for the third film.
Back to the cover: I only just noticed, as I was finishing the preceding paragraph, how the colors of these two characters' costumes match up almost perfectly. Was this coincidental, or deliberate? Was any color-adjustment done? Either way, it looks great.
Coincidental, but I do usualy tweak hue, brightness and contrast to make images go together better visually.
Well, ain't that a kick in the head!
Happy horses' birthday to all horses celebrating today.
Which brings me to a suggestion. Ross, would you considering matching Winged Victory (the Shining Knight's horse) with his namesake in Astro City?

Wasn't that just a Dark Age deconstruction of the 'Kid Sidekick' concept? "He's there in that bright costume to draw fire away from the Batman."
