Redwing?

[buggery]

Partial cover from a forthcoming comic






Issue #1 of Nightwing & Redwing Adventures. The text that's cut off says "Guest-Starring BATMAN!"

No idea when this is actually going to be out. I haven't been able to dig up any advanced buzz on it, but I also haven't been through all the message boards at dccomics.com or any of the fansites. Or, well, any of the message boards. Maybe somebody else keeps up on them, or would be willing to go have a look...

It looks like an animated series tie-in comic, but I haven't heard anything about them doing anything like this for TV, either; I thought the Dini/Timm/Burnett animatedverse era was pretty much over, with the exception of Justice League Unlimited (and maybe Static Shock, if they get a fifth season).


















Okay, I'm lying. It's never coming out, there are no plans to do anything like this over at DC (or if they are, this is a freaky coincidence of the highest order). I manipped the image together using parts of three different tie-in comic covers which actually do exist.

Not unlike the original Cherry Lips Tim I made for Te, this is a cover without a story to go with it (yet). Anyone and everyone besides Te are of course welcome to write fiction based on the cover, as well. I've just discovered that sometimes, if you make a picture of something you want Te to write about... she writes the story.

Sure, Te writes plenty of stories without anyone providing specific motivation -- but a little extra inspiration never hurts, hmm?

DAMN YOU AND YOUR KEEN MANIPULATION SKILLZ---

Oh wait, this means Te might write a fic for this. Hurrah! Cheers!

Well, we can't all draw like the gods themselves work through our very hands, so...

Yes, I am hoping for some Te-fic about Redwing. We'll see. I just hope she can maintain enough interest in Tim Drake. ::cough::

*snerk* Because well, even Tim might not want to be called Flamebird, if they're using the original Nightwing influences.

[buggery.livejournal.com]

Flamebird? Flamebird is a girl. (Except when Flamebird is Jimmy Olsen.)

[wabbitseason.livejournal.com]

And there was actually a third Flamebird from the Superman Family series as seen here in the first image.

[buggery.livejournal.com]

...No, that's Jimmy. Though there was also a Flamebird-of-legend that they based the costumes on.

Hee hee! Tim looks so dashing in black! V. convincing manip.

[juliekarasik.livejournal.com]

*Amazingly* convincing, and I'm not easily taken in.

[buggery.livejournal.com]

Well, most of the time I don't feel like I need to manip comics and toon images, since DC provides us with canon art that's so crack-tastic. I guess my years of working as a graphic designer were good for something, though.

[buggery.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeah, black does suit him -- and I seem to have a penchant for dressing him in it...

[zing_och.livejournal.com]

Oooooh... I need this. I really, really do.

[buggery.livejournal.com]

Really, really, I do too.

I just want to state, for the record, that you are a cruel, evil tease, and that if you get Te to write this, I will worship you forever and ever.

I am in awe of your mad photoshop skillz!

[buggery.livejournal.com]

you are a cruel, evil tease

I try.

And really, Photoshop has all the tools -- I just put them to good(?) use.

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Aw, that can be so cute.

And possibly, just a touch less emotionally disturbed than other combinations.

[buggery.livejournal.com]

Heh heh heh. Does it look "less emotionally disturbed" compared to other scenarios Bat-canon has given us? My personal theory of what the backstory to "Redwing" would be might change your mind. But let's see whether Te wants to write it that way...

[karabou.livejournal.com]

DAMNIT. I was so excited there for a minute! *g*

[buggery.livejournal.com]

The prospect of Te writing a story to go with that doesn't excite you?

[karabou.livejournal.com]

Is she really going to write it? Really really? :D

[kittywitch.livejournal.com]

Oh my god! Wench!

Lol!

I almost had a heart attack!

I have to save that though to send to brother and torture him.

[buggery.livejournal.com]

mikster617 inspired the 'trick' part as much as thete1 inspired the 'treat'.

Torturing one's brothers is a noble and worthy cause, which I applaud. You ARE going to tell him before he makes an ass of himself asking round comics shops for it, though...?

[kittywitch.livejournal.com]

Oh I will dont worry, because he would somehow get me back 100x worse if I did that to him, lol

guh.. GUH! good god woman if i grin anymore my cheeks may break!

[tombstone-kidd.livejournal.com]

I love you because it's awesome and so freaking convincing. But I HATE you for giving me hope and then taking it away again. Never fear, the love overpowers the HATE.

Wasn't fooled for a second, sorry, but man, what a great idea.
