Troubled Waters: The Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson Relationship post-Crisis
by Tracy, 9 September 1998
Author's Notes: I received an e-mail about my web page from Nightwing fan extraordinaire Louise Freeman (who has also written some VERY highly recommended fan fiction about Dick Grayson and the Titans - they can be found at Titans' Lair on the fan fiction page).  We were tossing opinions back and forth about Dick Grayson's character, especially post-Crisis (something I touched upon in two of my comics reviews and Louise touches upon in her article "Vanishing Point - Robin's Revamps: The Good, The Bad and The Gratuitous" in the on-line magazine Fanzing).  We were discussing Dick and Bruce's relationship and I came up with the inspiration This would make a good subject for an essay.  Since I have a degree in journalism, I decided to combine that with my love for the Dick Grayson/Robin/Nightwing character and write some articles discussing various aspects of Nightwing's character and analysis of some of his cases.  To kick off the section, I am starting with a discussion of Bruce and Dick's relationship post-Crisis and how it has been handled by writers. Thanks to Louise for the inspiration!
