I like to think that, while working up the character designs, maintaining the integrity of Nightwing's ass was a high priority, like Power Girl's boobs.


Also, why is Robin kicking Clark Kent in the crotch in one of those pictures?

Ha!
Spider-Man is going to be ticked to learn of this. Guess he needs to get into yoga.

The poll thread is a lie.

Really, its amazing the filter people can put on things, because there are enough different artists drawing that ass that there's NO WAY its consistent.

Perhaps its just noticeable because (up until he slapped on a Bat suit again) his was the most noticeable hero without a cape who bent over a lot (Jumping from buildings!!! Get your minds out of the gutter!).

I think there's also the fact that he's a gymnast and an ex-sidekick. Whereas most superheroes can be too muscled to be really attractive, Nightwing's gymnast status and need to make him look younger gets him a lighter (but still well-toned) build, which makes him all around sexier.

The focus on the ass is only a side effect of his increased over-all sexiness.

You're aware he's not real, right?

That's a decent "in continuity" rationale to explain it, but its kind of a connect-the-dots-after-the-fact thing, I think. I don't think there's been any master plan to draw Nightwing's ass a certain way. And given how much artists can vary, again, I think the conclusions being drawn are mainly because comparatively not that many male asses are "seen" in Big 2 comics. All those guys with capes. All those alien looking characters, or as you say, plenty of muscle guys (the artists usually don't even BOTHER to show their butts if they are big land-locked tanks). Or guys like The Flash, where he may not have a cape, but he's hardly shown in any pose but upright and from the side (never from the back and never squatting, right?) And guys who fly, cape or no cape? Rarely have a reason to "squat" (only the roof-leapers do).

But now that its been pointed out, I'm sure the moment he ditches the cape, future artists will make sure the ass is indeed front and center. So in the end (ehem) it will all work out for fans of his ass.

He's matured a bit, or filled out as it were, since the Robin days, and there's no cape to get in the way of the view.

Though I do love capes, that can be one downside.

While I like Dick as Batman, the cowl covers up his true talents. And I think he should just do every scene like he did in SS, ass first.
