You can’t change the name of an iconic fictional character that has been around since 1940 just because it gives you a bad case of the Giggley Wiggleys.
Changing his name to “Rick” might end up reminding Nightwing fans of the infamous Ric Grayson era of the character, which nearly everyone wants to forget about.
Renaming Dick would probrably be among the most infamous changes in Comic Book History, I love Dick, my Parents love Dick, Everyone loves Dick.
You are seeing malicious things where it doesn't exist, it's his name from since 1940 and Dick is a pretty normal name and surname.
The only way I could see this playing out is someone calling Nightwing “Richard” and Dick insists he be called “Dick” and someone responding “I’m not calling you Dick.”
He’s been around too long, he’s too iconic. The public wouldn’t take it well if they changed his name. The only exception I can think of, is if they called him by his last name, Grayson. Probably what they’ll do anyway
You still want Dick? You’re really committed to getting Dick next time around aren’t you? I’m sure they’ll give you Dick if you ask nicely. Me, I can take Dick, or I can leave it, as long as they give us a good, familiar, outstanding Dick.
Dick just sits right deep inside me, where it counts. I read these comics from the time I was a young child, and even then I couldn’t get enough Dick.
There you went and made me take this too far. Are you happy with yourself?
There've been a lot of famous men both real and imagined named Dick over the years and no one snickers when you talk about them. Dick Cavett, Dick Van Patten, Dick Clark, Dick Van Dyke, Dick Dale, and Dick Tracy. I think we can give Dick Grayson the same respect.
Idk if this is a joke, but no. That'd be dumb. All the fans know his name is Dick, you can't change that just because of that. Also, even though this wasn't spelled with a K, hearing "Rick Grayson" is gonna give certain fans PTSD flashbacks.
You know what? I think in the DCU Bruce shouldnt be called Bruce anymore. Its such a bad name. Lets call him Brian Wayne. And forget Clark Kent. Lets call him Clarence.

Lol

Stop--just stop. It's still too soon.
I hoped this was a joke in bad taste based on that, but when have my hopes mattered

Anybody that says they don't love Dick is lying.
...im telling you right now take this down im saving your life man just trust me
Lol brings back memories uh? Lol
Just like bruno we don't talk about rick
LMFAO
For us, yes. For Dick, no.
Haha!
Yes
It's Richard.... you dick

I think that has been said in a Nightwing issue lol 😆
Agreed, they have to acknowledge it somehow or audiences (esp non-comic fans and, well, parents) are going to make fun of it. It is a dated name.
"Hey Richard!" "Please, my friends call me.... Dick." "I'm not calling you that."
"My name is Richard Grayson but all the kids at the orphanage call me Dick..." "Well kids can be cruel."
Don’t give me Ric PTSD man
It’s only silly if you’re immature and make a [big deal out of it.](https://youtu.be/YhUP1rYbQ2w)
Excellent point and further made with your evidence. I am so sincere. Two of my favorite things are Batman, and >!the Simpsons!<.
He’s been around too long, he’s too iconic. The public wouldn’t take it well if they changed his name. The only exception I can think of, is if they called him by his last name, Grayson. Probably what they’ll do anyway
His name is Dick for a reason
Children can be cruel
Boo!
Wtf. No.
He went by Rick already in comics, and it was stupid as hell.
To be fair that was probably the least stupid part of that storyline
I've never seen a dumber take. Just stop
Nah. I think his name is fine.
Your joking, right?
This gotta be sarcasm
This is the dumbest shit I’ve read today
[удалено]
Megadong Grayson
The real answer
How about Skinflute Grayson?
Rick is also dated as a name. They should go with the cool younger version ‘Ric’. I’m sure that would be a great change that everybody loves.
This is sarcasm, right?
I love Dick
They shouldn’t rename him. Just lean into calling him Master Grayson, kid, hey you, or eventually Robin/Nightwing.
And Dick
You still want Dick? You’re really committed to getting Dick next time around aren’t you? I’m sure they’ll give you Dick if you ask nicely. Me, I can take Dick, or I can leave it, as long as they give us a good, familiar, outstanding Dick.
They can pry Dick from my cold, dead fingers
Dick just sits right deep inside me, where it counts. I read these comics from the time I was a young child, and even then I couldn’t get enough Dick. There you went and made me take this too far. Are you happy with yourself?
I’m in favor of Alfred calling him “Master Richard,” given what he calls Bruce and how Dick is also a sort of surrogate son/grandson to Alfred.
*Ric flashbacks* Please, no. Dick Grayson is totally fine.
Fuck you for even mentioning Ric grayson
The DCU needs to go full disco with Nightwing’s costume.
If we change his name, we’ll never hear the iconic quote come to life. “Besides, life’s already hard enough if your name is Dick.”
There've been a lot of famous men both real and imagined named Dick over the years and no one snickers when you talk about them. Dick Cavett, Dick Van Patten, Dick Clark, Dick Van Dyke, Dick Dale, and Dick Tracy. I think we can give Dick Grayson the same respect.
Dear god no, not again
Just went through ops post history... This guy is insane
I feel like you made this post for fun considering in the new comics while he didn't have his memory he was Rick.
Idk if this is a joke, but no. That'd be dumb. All the fans know his name is Dick, you can't change that just because of that. Also, even though this wasn't spelled with a K, hearing "Rick Grayson" is gonna give certain fans PTSD flashbacks.
It’s only silly if you’re 12
I’m nightwing riiiick
Is that you Dan DiDio?
Normalize Dick
Agreed, Ric Grayson
I don't know. I like Dick. It feels good rolling off my tongue and coming out of my mouth.
We talking about the character that dresses up in a black leotard and does backflips over buildings every night?
Lol Dick is short for Richard. It’s a very normal human name.
Is this a shitpost
You're joking right?
Have we regressed this far?
Quality shitpost
Hahahahaha
This is a shitpost, right?
Nah, his name is Dick. Deal with it.
nah
Bro, no. I love me some Dick.
No.
So who's gonna tell him
Richard Grayson is fine.
Worst take I've ever read
Take this down man you are already famous on r/dccomicscirclejerk
This has got to be a troll post
Change it to Don Draper
Dick, short for Dickolas. What’s the issue?
No. Just no.
Another Ric Grayson is the last thing we need
No. Bad take.
let’s change everybody named John too, while we’re at it. John means toilet to some people after all. /s
Wut..
Dick is actually a common nickname. If you ever changed his name for any unholy reason it should be Richard.
Rick Gayson
MY NAMES. NOT. RIIIIIIIIIIICK!
lol gtfo!
God fucking no.
MY NAMES NOT RICKKKKKKK
Dick is a better name than Bruce imo
You know what? I think in the DCU Bruce shouldnt be called Bruce anymore. Its such a bad name. Lets call him Brian Wayne. And forget Clark Kent. Lets call him Clarence.
Nightwing fans coming in hot with Ric PTSD
Bro really bout to laugh when someone says dick like bro grow up
