18: Robin/Nightwing (DC Comics)
<p>When it comes to comic books, one of the biggest highlights of 1984 was The New Teen Titans from DC Comics. Marv Wolfman and George Pérez were leading the sales charts with their bold takes on teen characters. It is here that Dick Grayson, a mainstay as Robin since the 1940s, quit that identity forever.</p><p>How was this move received by fans? Did it ultimately hurt or help the Batman comics? What led DC to such a stunning decision? Did the change prove permanent?</p><p>To help me answer all these questions and more, the host of the 30something Movie Podcast, John Reid, joins me for this fascinating look at a beloved character.</p><p>https://www.30podcast.com/</p><p>Linktr.ee/DefDave</p>
