While spill aboutNightwing ’s current relationship with Barbra Gordon , AKA Oracle / Batgirl , during an interview at SDCC , Taylor say DC Comics floated the theme of bringing back the “ playboy Dick Grayson ” during the other planning stage . Taylor and Redondo were nimble to direct out that this reading of Dick did n’t exist . “ He ’s just sexy , ” Redondo read , lend that people actually like him because “ He is so nice . ” While Dick may have had his percentage of romance over the class , from Helena Bertinelli ( Huntress ) to Shawn Tsang ( The Defacer ) , these have been build on a common connection beyond the physical , which start against the typical philandering direction of a so - called playboy . In the past , Dick has made clear his belief in dedication , even telling Roy Harper ( Arsenal ) in Action Comics # 614 that he could n’t “ make love to someone he did n’t really love . ” During the 1998 miniseries Nightwing / Huntress , after a night together Dick makes it clear to Huntress that he does n’t find well-heeled calling it an “ consonant indiscretion , ” as he does n’t do things “ on the casual . ”
Dick ’s approach to family relationship is also why the creative squad was n’t interested in classic comic book soap opera house - mode relationships , or the ‘ will they / won’t they ’ approach .

Their relationship is demonstrate to be built on reciprocal trust , understanding , and accompaniment . “ They are happy together , and they do desire to be together , ” say Taylor , with Redondo adding that these relationships are important to see in comics as it sometimes “ looks like it ’s impossible to have a respectable human relationship . ”
There is no denying Dick Grayson is loved by many , but to call him a Corinthian , someone who is cavalier with their relationship , just is n’t accurate . All ofNightwing’srelationships , no matter of whether retentive or short , are built upon mutual respect and commitment to the other person .
