There was talk of a Nightwing movie for a while, but I haven't heard anything about that in ages. I think the problem is that Batman in the movies keeps getting re-set. We never get around to introducing Robin, let alone allowing him to graduate into his second super-heroic identity. I understand that's been a major plot point of the Titans series on DC's streaming service. I'll have to check that out one of these days.
Hawk & Dove made it to life before Nightwing? DC should be tarred and feathered! No wonder Marvel has had a feather in their cap for so long. And where will that leave Flamebird after all this? I have to hand it to them. Marvel has been a regular Daredevil when it comes to bringing their characters to life.
ReplyDeleteThus far, the only decent Robin that's appeared on the silver Bat-screen over the last 30 years...is now working for the Los Angeles branch of NCIS.

If you're not going to re-cover the goings on of Operation: Hawk, Ross, then at least provide the heroes with WING SUPPORT. Everyone else seems to have it. Consider:
ReplyDeleteAngel, Dove, Hawk, Raven, Golden Eagle, Hawkgirl, Songbird, Swift, Birdman & Valkyrie.
It wouldn't be hard to make this team FLY.
@Cary: He's not only the only decent Robin on the silver screen in the past 30 years, he's the only one, period. Of course we can go back further and find a few others (Burt Ward, of course, in the 60s; go back to the 1940s serials and we find Douglas Croft in '43 and Johnny Duncan in '49).
ReplyDelete@HHH: I just made a similar suggestion a few days ago, featuring about half the characters you listed. Ross replied that winged characters are hard to deal with on a cover, which I consider reasonable.
That said, I'd still like to see something with Valkyrie and the Shining Knight astride their respective winged horses. One of the most exciting moments for me in Avengers: Endgame was seeing Aragorn in action, both when he first showed up and later when Valkyrie gave Spider-Man a ride; and I'm hoping that, if Justin the Janitor on Stargirl turns out to be Sir Justin (and his accent suggests that he very well might be), I have hopes that we'll be seeing Winged Victory soon enough. With two winged horses, I think Valkyrie and the Shining Knight would make a great ongoing pair (heck, the names have a nice enough cadence that I'd be half tempted to try a fanfic mini-series with them, if I could draw worth anything.
What a superb cover! Great job!
ReplyDelete@Bob G, in that case, I 'd suggest a cover charge which I think would also be reasonable. Charge by the square foot of feathers. Otherwise he's got no tail to squawk anout.
ReplyDeleteHave the TMNT ever given Hong Kong Fooey a "Hand?"
ReplyDeleteP.S. @Bob and 3H: Happy Feathers' Day, guys!
ReplyDeleteAnother great cover! These two would be a great team up.
ReplyDelete@Anon751: Well, in the immortal words of Snake Eyes (from GI JOE):
ReplyDelete"That goes without saying."
Marv's Hand vs TMNT's Foot. Winner take ??
ReplyDelete"What fearfully symmetrical Hand or Foot can supplant the Demon's Head?"
