"Home is where your family is. Whether you were born into that family or whether you found each other." —Dick Grayson, issue #88
yet again taylor shows me that he is incapable of writing dick grayson as a character. there are good moments and, on a surface level, taylor understands the importance of dick's interpersonal relationships (re: titans, jon, etc.), but it's dick himself that taylor has the most trouble finding a voice for because i don't hear dick's voice. i see glimpses of the man he's been for the past few decades, but ultimately he's watered down, a cookie-cutter hero whose personality has been sanded away. also, i keep forgetting they gave dick a half-sister. somebody save this man fr. at least redondo's art fucks
