We could not be happier to see a development in this hard-hitting, stakes-heavy story. After months of seemingly hopeless protest, it seems DC hero Nightwing’s butt has been restored to its true trunk-junk glory.
The crime fighter’s bubbly backside has been an essential element of his character for years. Yet, when the first looks for his model in the new Gotham Knights game were released back in August, his prime posterior was almost non-existent.
Just straight from the back to the thighs. An affront, if not a direct attack.
Fans understandably weren’t having it, but outcry to restore the assets had appeared to fall on unsympathetic ears. When contacted about the oversight, the game’s devs simply stated they were “currently comfortable with the size of Nightwing’s posterior,” though they did add that they “can’t promise that we won’t revisit this issue again someday.”
How about we take this to the next level?

It seems such a revisit may have taken place after all. Now that the game has officially been released, fans are reveling in the full reinstatement of the batty brawler’s backdoor.
Gotham was never the same:

That’s not all fans have to love about Gotham Knights‘ Nightwing, though! In-keeping with the queer inclusion demonstrated by Gotham’s new West End gayborhood, the game’s devs decided to throw in some playful hints to Nightwing’s apparent bisexuality.
Between a bi flag mug and some flirtatious interview quotes, it seems Dick Grayson is batting for both teams.
Get it? “Batting”?:

Nightwing isn’t bisexual, that’s Tim Drake’s Robin.

Dang. I was hoping we finally got some normal guys repping the gays and bisexuals.
Creamsicle
Are Tim and Superboy finally a thing? Because fans have been shipping them for well over a decade now.

Queerty should do a feature on Class Comics, which publishes overtly gay/bi/queer superhero comics, by gay/bi/queer artists, that are original and not adaptations of prior storylines!

With that cake he couldn’t have been straight.

You can always tell those who have never been the 1st for any guy when they claim another guy is straight. Trust me, there ain’t that many straight guys around. Sure, “straight identifying” is one thing but that’s driven into men by the time they can walk & talk.

Like cuteguy, must be so attractive that even straight guys can’t control themselves. …eyeroll…
Just as you have definitive, natural preferences, so does everyone else. Your thinking parallels the nonsense of homophobes who can’t acknowledge what they don’t personally acknowledge or feel.
