Comprises spoilers for Nightwing #95, and preview info for #96 and #97!

Nonetheless, it appears DC could also be about to change that romantic established order with a proposal. Solicits for upcoming points shared by League of Comedian Geeks point out a major query, with the abstract for concern #96 stating “…as Dick and Babs’s two hearts do discover their joyful place subsequent to one another, one query they ask one another proves troublesome to reply,” and #97 following up with, “…Batgirl provides Nightwing her reply. They usually have an extended speak with one another about what which means.” In the meantime, Jamal Campbell’s variant cowl artwork for concern #96 sees the 2 embracing whereas surrounded by flowers, and in concern #95 (from Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo), Batwoman and Nightwing focus on romance, with Kathy Kane telling Dick that the largest mistake she ever made was not marrying her former associate Maggie Sawyer.
It is easy to see how listening to a couple of missed probability at matrimonial bliss would get Nightwing considering, opening up the likelihood that the “query” DC is hinting at is a proposal – certainly, as advised within the abstract for Nightwing #96, it might be very a lot in character for the 2 take-charge heroes to suggest to one another on the identical time. A marriage between the 2 has been on the playing cards for a very long time, and so they really did get married in Dark Nights: Dying Steel -The Final Tales Of The DC Universe #1, although this came about in a now defunct actuality on the eve of the top of the world.
There’s all the time the likelihood that DC intends to drag the rug from below readers, nevertheless it definitely looks like Nightwing is gearing as much as a proposal, with Dick and Babs in a stronger place than in few occasions of their historical past. DC has pushed again on writers having characters marry earlier than – certainly, Batwoman and Maggie Sawyer are essentially the most notorious instance of this obvious coverage. It is also price maintaining in thoughts that particularly in comics, a wedding isn’t any assure a pair is eternally (Marvel rewrote Spider-Man’s complete life to make it so he’d by no means married Mary Jane.) Nonetheless, followers have praised Taylor and Redondo’s run thus far for depicting a cheerful, mutually supportive relationship, that means that if one or each of them do pop the query, it is potential they’re going to get that rarest of all issues – a comparatively uneventful superhero wedding ceremony.
Solely upcoming problems with Nightwing will present if Dick and Barbara are headed down the aisle (with the upcoming concern 100 providing the right alternative for one thing particular), nevertheless it’s potential that maybe essentially the most fan-favorite will they/will not they relationship in comics is about to enter an entire new period, as DC teases that marriage is on the playing cards for Nightwing and Batgirl.
Nightwing #96 is offered now from DC Comics.
