Pirate Nightwing Gives Fans Something Else to Thirst Over
While readers must still wait for the release of Nightwing #106 to understand the further context for this issue, the official summary for Nightwing #107 reads:
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life is not for Nightwing! When Nightwing’s investigation into who left the vault under his name leads him to discover a mysterious group behind the Hold, his past come back to haunt him in the form of the Hold’s leader…
Even outside its uses within the storyline, Nightwing fans can undoubtedly look forward to the snazzy new “pirate” outfit he will be sporting, which will only add to the character’s fanfare. The fanfare of course refers to the Nightwing character’s ongoing status as the biggest thirst trap that the DC Universe has to offer readers at the moment.
It is no secret that Nightwing has captured the hearts of many readers across the world. Beyond his merits as a character, Dick Grayson has often gone viral on social media strictly for being hot — especially when it comes to Nightwing’s butt. Nightwing is probably only challenged for “Sexiest Bat-Sidekick” by Red Hood, and, even then, Dick still stands miles ahead of most competition in the DC Universe. As a result, artists often lean into the character’s sex appeal to give fans something else to thirst over.
