DC Comics is once again trolling Nightwing fans by teasing wedding bells with Batgirl, though this time it was hilarious.
Notice! This post contains SPOILERS from Nightwing #98
In the latest issue of DC Comics’ Nightwingfans have been reunited with a wedding with Batgirl this just wasn’t meant to be. While Nightwing and Batgirl’s romance is more official than it’s been in a long time, the idea of Dick Grayson on his knees was still far from over. That said, leave it to a Fifth Dimension imp to try and speed things up in this new issue.
In the last issues of Nightwing, Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon decided to become an official couple after Blockbuster’s defeat in Blüdhaven. Agreeing to let each other be happy, Nightwing has definitively chosen Batgirl over Starfire, his other love interest in the DC Universe. Having been his eyes and ears in Blüdhaven while also helping to care for Dick’s dog Haley, it was only a matter of time before the two watchers finally committed to each other.
However, the new Nightwing #98 by Tom Taylor and Daniele di Nicuolo sees Nightwing encountering his own imp from the Fifth Dimension. Named Nite-Mite, the imp reveals his status as a huge fan of Nightwing while gushing about Dick’s new girlfriend. Despite personally sending Nightwing with Starfire, Nite-Mite tries to instigate a fast progression by instantly making a wedding, changing their outfits to a tuxedo and suit while teleporting all their friends and family to the immediate occasion . Hilariously, this is the second time in almost 3 years that Dick and Barbara have had a genuine chance to hook up.
Nightwing’s new wedding troll might have actually happened
Not only have Dick and Barbara been engaged before (and even had a fake wedding in the pre-Crisis comics), the 2020s Death Metal The crossover event saw Nightwing and Batgirl quickly married by Batman himself who wanted to see them happy and express his true feelings to the Batman Who Laughs who was ready to destroy the entire DC Universe. However, they both agreed to annul the marriage if they survived (which they did). Now, this second chance was their golden chance to get married, especially with the confirmation that Nite-Mite did indeed teleport everyone to Dick and Barbara for the surprise nuptials.
Even though Nightwing and Batgirl’s love is stronger than ever, that doesn’t mean either of them are ready to part ways just yet. That said, the silver lining is that neither seems opposed to the idea for later. Although Nite-Mite was used to troll Nightwing fans with another wedding that ultimately goes nowhere, there is still hope for the future. Nightwing #98 is now on sale at DC Comics.
