Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon: It's Complicated
If you’ve been watching season three of Titans on HBO Max, then you might be wondering what the deal is between Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon. It’s a fair question, and the duo recently addressed the question in Nightwing #80.
Yeah, Dick and Babs aren’t going to be much of a help, which is puzzling because they were both trained by the World’s Greatest Detective. If these two sleuths can’t solve the mystery of their own relationship, well, then it looks like it’s up to us. Let’s start at the beginning.
Their original “meet cute” occurred during Barbara’s first appearance in Detective Comics #359. She was on her first case as Batgirl, and Dick Grayson was still in his formative years as Robin. There weren’t any romantic sparks in this first meeting. In fact, their big interaction of the issue involved Robin condescendingly mansplaining to Batgirl.
FYI I love this blog post about Dick and Babs! I ship Dick and Babs so much that I married them (for a night) (In Death Metal: The Last Stories of the DC Universe #1) SEE BELOW art by Mirka Andalfo.
