About Richard And Dick

That sounds weird.

Anyway, I spoke with the writer of Nightwing just a few minutes ago, and they are sticking with Dick!

That sounds weird, too.  Apparently, 'Dick' is still Richard Grayson's nickname. The request I got to call him Richard, or, alternatively, Rick, seemingly didn't get around universally, and the writers themselves prefer the original nickname.

So what we're doing is that only Barbara calls him 'Richard,' it's something she does a little bit to annoy him, but it's affectionate.  Everyone else will continue to call him 'Dick.'

Problem solved, I think!
