>What do you think of the new “Grayson” title DC is releasing? Is Dick Grayson well known enough to support a title with his name on it?  Or is this an indication that the comic book market is so insular that publishers are cranking out titles aimed at long time fans instead of trying to hook new fans? The super-spy genre isn’t anything new but “Grayson” doesn’t communicate what the title is about. How is a first time comic fan going to pick it out from the shelves if said fan doesn’t have the back-knowledge of who Batman’s first Robin was?>

I suspect that “Grayson” is a better-known term in the mainstream than “Nightwing”, for all that it’s been around for a long time and was used in one movie. People in general have been aware that Dick Grayson was Robin since the Batman television show of the 1960s.

As for whether such a title will be a success, at this point who can say? It really depends on how well or how poorly it’s done.
