WARNING: Contains Spoilers for Absolute Batman #9 (2025)! 3y5v12

Many fans argue that Batman’s favorite child and sidekick is none other than Dick “Nightwing” Grayson, a hero who can seemingly do no wrong in his father’s eyes. But even the Original Boy Wonder isn’t untouchable. Dick once crossed a line so unforgivable that Batman didn’t hesitate to disown him, revealing the one betrayal the Dark Knight will never tolerate, not even from his eldest son.

Out of all of Batman’s Robins, Dick Grayson has arguably experienced the most character growth, from taking on the Nightwing mantle to leading the Titans multiple times, especially when they stepped in to replace the Justice League as DC’s premiere superhero team. However, there is still one Nightwing story arc that DC has yet to deliver, and fans are more than a little desperate to see it.

Marvel is about to give Nightwing and DC Comics some stiff competition in the butt market. In the past few years, Nightwing's butt has become his defining feature. What was once an isolated incident of extremely detailed art design quickly became embraced by both the comic book community and DC Comics as a whole. The latter has readily leaned into the absurdity, drawing outright attention to his butt whenever possible.

Nightwing stands as one of DC’s most beloved and popular heroes, a status that comes with its own unique challenges. His widespread appeal means that every new story carries the weight of fan expectations, not just in his character portrayal but in the way he’s visually represented. And when it comes to Dick Grayson, there’s one detail that fans refuse to overlook: his undeniably iconic butt.

A lot of people might assume that Nightwing'sgreatest villain is Deathstroke, and there's plenty of reason to think that. But it turns out that while Deathstroke is a fantastic and deeply personal villain to Nightwing, he's not Nightwing's true archenemy, and it's not even close when Blockbuster is in the running.

With world-ending threats like Doomsday and the Phantom Zone looming, Superman has been far removed from his ‘street-level’ heroics, often caught up in intergalactic battles or saving the world. However, DC has quietly reintroduced the concept of a ‘street-level Superman’—but this time, it’s not the Man of Steel himself; this street-level Superman is part of the Bat-Family.

Nightwing has long held the title of DC’s greatest butt, but thanks to a recent cover release, it seems Superman is coming for the crown. These two icons are about to ignite a full-blown battle of the butts, and with only one hero able to claim the title of DC’s greatest backside—who’s getting your vote?
