As the first Robin, Dick Grayson was the most famous sidekick in comic book history. As he ventured forth on his own, he formed the Teen Titans and became their leader. When the boy became a man, he became the independent hero known as Nightwing.
" @iLLituracy: Tim deals with bodacious babes all the time "
They don't have their boobs all up in his face in a cramped spot...
I like Tim more than Dick, don't get me wrong. Tim is my favorite character--in DC Comics--but I'm pretty sure he'd walk with a waddle if he was in the same situation--back in the day.
" that supposed to be a sixteen year old girl o.0 i mean dick looks sixteen /./ "
I always thought that Babs was a few years older than Dick "
Me too "
wasn't she in college whenever she became Batgirl? "
I believe so. I think there is a two year difference, she would be 18 when he was 16, but maybe since it's an annual it doesn't fall into the consistency of continuity?
I think it is just a plot hole saying they were both 16. It happens sometimes when there is so much history to memorize. I also liked the license plate for the rolls. DCU 1939, the year Batman was introduced.

It's also funny how Bruce calls Robin "Chum" and the end.
I love these kind of stories that show a different side to crime fighting. Things like this are always great inspiration for drawing my own stories and making the comics.
@erik: Really, I believe we think too much into these comics when we wonder about age differences. When Dick started as Robin he was really young. Now he's a grown man who has taken on the role of Batman. After that is Tim Drake. Again, a young boy who is now grown to an older teen. Despite Tim and Dick having dramatic changes, Bruce hasn't even aged a single day. He even has a teen aged son.
Sometimes it's best to not ask questions and enjoy the ride.
Though, you sometimes still get writers who have to cling to these classic relationships. Currently, I believe Dick is questioning Barbara if she still has feelings for him. As if she can't move on. Why not the other way around and he's the one fixated on not letting go of the past.
Bruce=Dick now that you are a teen i think we should have the talk be safe so use a kevlar cape and kevlar tunic and if you want to screw batgirl get the Batcondoms
@iLLituracy: actually, Tim has faced situations just like this and he keeps it cool. like in Teen Titans, i forget which issue. but its when ravager snuck into his room...here's a pic of how he dealt with it:
" ...It isn't Dick's fault that Dick likes boobs. He's a red-blooded American. God bless him. Am I exploiting the fact that Dick's name is Dick in this instance? Yes, but don't tell anyone. Plus, when has Tim ever faced a similar situation with a chick equally as hot as Batgirl? "

@Mrs. Tim Drake: In order for you to be right, the situation would have to call for Ravager to be as hot as Batgirl (yes, it's possible), her boobs would have to be all up in his face in a cramped spot, and I would imagine that he would have to have at least a mild attraction toward her, which Tim--to my knowledge--despite her advances--has expressed none toward Ravager. Also, factor in the fact that he was still, even after a year, was dealing with Stephanie Brown's death.

Those scans from the Nightwing annual was the defining reason that I came to support Dick and Babs over Dick and Kori. Just a really amusing and cute moment.
