Couples - Dick Grayson ღ Barbara Gordon (Batman) #1: "I have a long way to go...but I'll never get there without you"

MiniAnneBoleynx8 · 06-20-2011, 04:38 PM

A thread for one of DC comics' most enduring and famous on again/off-again romances-which has also been portrayed on screen in TV and film.

Richard "Dick" Grayson (Robin/Nightwing/Batman)
ღ
Barbara "Babs" Gordon (Batgirl/Oracle)
Appreciation Thread
#1

" Babs, I know we've been through a lot together, and I haven't always been the man I've wanted to be for you. And I realize now that I still have a long way to go but....but I'll never get there without you. Barbara, I have to leave in a few hours to try and save the universe and I don't even know if I'll be alive tomorrow, but if i am-- will you marry me?" - Dick to Barbara

Reasons:
1) Because they always look out for each other
2) Because they've been more then lovers- they've been partners
3) Because he made it possible for her to fly again
4) Because he said he will return to her when the time is right
5) Because she still has the engagement ring
6) Because no matter what, they're each other's one true love
7) Because he'll never be the man he wants to be without her
8) Because they always find their way back to each other

Dick: "I could've lost you, Babs."
Barbara: "Never happen. Never."

Dick: "I love you, Babs-as a friend, as a partner--and I'd like to believe I could love you as a--"

Welcome to the thread, baelfire24

And thank you for that artwork, the OP was definitely needing it

What's everyone's favorite version of Dick & Barbara and/or why do you love them?

Can I be added?

I really liked these two in the Batman & Robin movie despite the fact that they didn't get that many scenes together

I've shipped these two since Batman: The Animated Series.

Add me please?

I adore them, but I feel they always get the short end of the stick... and I need a good live action representation for them damn it!

Well TNT is reportedly working on a Titans television series involving Dick and Barbara.

I know.
But that is still just in development. Last I checked they haven't even shot the pilot yet. And eventually it might not even go to series. So that's all up in the air.
Also I know that one of the characters is Starfire, which means there's gonna be triangle drama and I'm not particularly interested in that by default.

MiniAnneBoleynx8 · 08-18-2015, 07:22 PM

Welcome to the thread everyone

I heard about the new Titans show too, I’m hoping there’s not TOO much triangle drama

... I wanna see Dick/Babs goodness

Boringblog · 08-19-2015, 02:33 PM

Yeah, we haven't had much live action Dick/Barbara love. The only time I remember them being in anything live action together before was in the television series Batman 1966 and the movie Batman & Robin.

I never felt that in the 60s show they were really going the Babs/Dick route though.

And as for Batgirl in Batman & Robin well that was hardly the real Barbara... and that was barely a good Batman movie worthy of any mention.

As I said I need a good live action representation.
