I kind of just want to talk about this page from American alien??? I honestly find it so amazing (regardless if this is still technical canon or what not) that Dick Grayson is the one who ended up inspiring superman to become a symbol hope, before knowing what him family ‘s symbol meant with that S, that this small child has had an impact on two of the greatest heroes and possibly helped shape the future.
And then later, when robin wants to become his own hero, superman tells him the story of the Nightwings, which rebuild from destruction, probably the best way to describe Dick Grayson, and how they too are a symbol of hope in darkness. I just really like that cyclical structure it has?I feel like whilst superman might be a symbol of hope to ordinary people, Dick Grayson, Nightwing is a symbol of hope to heroes.

I like it. I like feeling small. We’re all just tiny creatures, little aliens, holding on to each other, out in the middle of nowhere.
I think it’s perfect.

You’re holding this comic. Reading it. And you think you’re in control. But you’re so weak, you can’t even pronounce my name. Go ahead. Try it.
Mxyzptlk.
And when you think of me later, in a minute, in an hour, in a day or a month or a year – I’ll be alive again. And yet, I can promise with absolute certainty that I will never once think of you.
It’s all nonsense, of course…but it’s an interesting question.
