Poll Dick Grayson Fans: Male or Female? (43 votes)

Female 21%
Male 70%
Gender-Queer 9%

I found this quote in the trade "The Judas Contract," and it got me thinking.

“Dick [Grayson] has an incredibly vocal fan following, particularly among females.”

-George Perez, 1988, on why Dick needed a new vigilante identity ASAP after he stopped being Robin

So I wonder (and maybe you do, too) just how many female fans Dick has. Are a majority of his fans female? Is it 50/50? Are a substantial minority of his fans female? Or is Perez's observation no longer true?

*People tell me that Comic Vine skews male, so I am asking around other places. Of course, I want to know how many male fans Dick has in order to compare.

Thanks! I appreciate your votes and any insight into Perez's quote.

We had some very dedicated young female Nightwing fans in my shop.

If they were going to retcon something about Nightwing, I would have preferred they change his name to changing his relationship with Bruce. It's just ripe for those sorts of comments. (grins)

As far as Grayson having a passionate following, I don't have any new thoughts that I haven't already discussed with you. (Dicks)

@batwatch I would have been so sad if DC had changed Dick's name. So sad.

It super sucks they changed his relationship with Bruce in #0, but the two still seem to have a special relationship based on the other comics.

Yes, B:TAS. Best cartoon ever.

It's not CV that skews male, it's the comic readership. And many female readers lean towards indie and Vertigo books and manga more so than Marvel or DC. Now of course plenty of women out there love and are vocal about mainstream comics, but if we are going purely on percentage, then almost any character's fanbase is going to be more male than female.

Yeah, well you are obsessed with Dicks. (grins) Actually, I would have been annoyed with DC if they had changed Dicks name, but the change of Grayson's relationship with Bruce is just incredibly annoying.

I'm a male and Dick is probably my favorite comic book character, next to Spidey. So, I vote male!
