I wonder if he'll still be called Dick on the TITANS TV show?

My last name is Aycock and my sister compounded the funny by marrying a guy named Dick. No kids yet, so there's been no little Peter.

Trevor - Richard Rider is a great super hero name. I'm sure that the original Nova agrees with you.
In an Imaginary Story in World's Finest 184, "Robin's Revenge", Robin takes on the identity of Rick Danner after he and Superman believe that Batman has been killed. So he's been a "Rick" in an imaginary world.
Because after 78 years, it's time that Dick Grayson GOT a name change. Stupid DC asshats.

Marvel never copies DC's dumb trends, so at least Peter Parker is safe.
Oh wait...

Come on, let it go D.C. making fun of people’s names is a fact of life.
My last name is Woodcock so I know, believe me, this metal fanny*, timber tool knows!
Edit: * for the Americans, in the U.K., fanny means something different to what it does over there

Why is it so hard for DC to understand that the quality of the writing and artwork in the books is what is holding the character back, not his name?

Just as long as they don't decide to change Batman's secret identity to "Bruce Wang" after what happened....
(Surprised no one has made that joke yet.) |

This spelling is making my brain think “Dick Gayson.”
