Nightwing (Comic Book Character)

 Now it is no secret that I enjoy reading some comic books and recently written a few blog posts about Daredevil, Punisher and even the Hand. But in today's blog post I wanted to talk about another character that I really enjoy and his name is Nightwing.

For those who are familiar with comic books, Nightwing originally went by another name, Robin. In fact, he was the original Robin also known as Dick Grayson.

Grayson was once part of the Flying Graysons who were murdered due to a pair of gangsters who were trying to exhort money from the circus owner but the owner ultimately refused which led to them sabotaging and killing Grayson's parents.

But then Dick Grayson would be reborn as he was then adopted by Bruce Wayne, better known as Batman and become his sidekick Robin. According to creators Bob Kane and Bill Finger, they wanted to create a character that would bring in younger readers to like Batman. The character was inspired believe it or not by Robin Hood.

As time went by however, Robin would soon grow up and become his own man. And in 1984, Grayson becomes the new and improved Nightwing in Tales of the Teen Titans issue # 44.

One of the reasons why I love reading Nightwing comics is a pretty basic reason, I love the black and blue suit that is fitted to his acrobatic style. 

Plus his version of the batarangs or wing-dings as he calls them and of course you can not go wrong with the two eskrima clubs made from an unbreakable polymer.

One of my favorite stories with Nightwing was the Battle for the Cowl as he went up against another great character in Jason Todd aka the Red Hood. It was pretty cool to see the first two Robins go out it because many comic book fans wonder which one of these two could possibly replace Bruce Wayne as Batman. Although I don't think anybody could replace Bruce as Batman, but hey, it is a very interesting concept.

Nightwing has also appeared in several other forms of media, like animated series and movies. As well in a few different video games and even has his own ride at Six Flags.

Nightwing in my humble opinion, has consistently been one of the best characters in recently history. He certainly has proven himself to be an amazing comic book hero and I really hope that he will find continued success.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

He and his father are also local racing legends around here in Mifflin County having raced for a couple generations now. Nick and his family have always been honest with me and my family and has helped take care of our vehicles for many years. They are amazing,  hardworking people who now need our help. And according to the go fund me page that was set up by Andrea Baker and Valeri Thornburgh. The doctors had told his family that it will take months at minimum for him to be able to recover and will not be able to work for the foreseeable future. Please support anyway you can for the Dickson family in their time of need. ...
