Sorry, I just HAD to use that pun.
In reality, as I’ve already said, Nightwing was always straight. Though Nightwing wasn't the only character mentioned, it will come as no surprise to Dick Grayson fans that he was mentioned the most.
DC Comics has been celebrating Pride Month with an array of special issues and variant covers featuring their iconic LGBTQ+ characters and creators.
That's just natural" says Danny Lore. Let’s be honest, the comics were quite white-washed and all-straight in the past, and that’s just not a realistic picture of society in general.
That’s why fans rejoice when we see more LGBTQ characters, as well as racial, ethnic, and even religious diversity. "I think we all can agree," says Nicole Maines, Supergirl actress who will soon be bringing her character Dreamer to the comics universe, "we'd all hook up with Dick Grayson if we got the chance." She followed up with a quote-tweet of the video saying much the same.
I’ve got to at least be a little queer.”

Chuck Dixon, who arguably wrote the best Nightwing run in existence, saw this, thinking it was real dialogue from a current comment, posted the panel with the commentary, “Who wants this?”
His post went viral, with many long-time comic readers lamenting the state of DC Comics as of late.
Though he's currently in a relationship with the original Batgirl and current Oracle, Barbara Gordon, he's also known for his long-term relationship with Starfire and his numerous short-term relationships over the decades. The fan-favorite character and book Nightwing also received the Pride-variant treatment in a cover by Nick Robles.
In Gotham Knights, however, Dick Grayson is bisexual, as he claims not to limit himself to an archetype, but loves all people.
Tom Taylor Responds To Chuck Dixon’s Gay Superman and Nightwing Meme, Outraging Woke DC Comics Fans
Last week, the legend Chuck Dixon took shots at DC Comics’ recent moves, turning so many of their beloved characters gay for the sake of shock views.
But then, the left got ahold of it and became outraged at Chuck Dixon for pointing out DC Comics’ recent failures.
It even garnered the attention of gay Superman writer Tom Taylor, who posted the panel with the original dialogue, saying, “Hey, Chuck. "Obviously we all have a crush on Nightwing. With a huge influx of LGBTQ representation in comics, fans wonder – is Nightwing gay, bisexual, or straight in the comics?
Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, was never anything but heterosexual in the comics.
Dick Grayson is one of the longest-tenured characters in DC Comics. In fact, he was a part of one of the biggest, most intriguing love triangles in DC Comics’ history.
You see, Nightwing’s biggest love interest was always Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl. However, the two have a tumultuous relationship that was always riddled with arguments, breakups, betrayals, and mistrust.
That is because Dick has had another big love interest in Starfire, aka Koriand’r.
That’s not the dialogue. Including the ranks of Gotham’s Elite.”
Now, that doesn’t really confirm anything, as no genders are actually mentioned. Along with a dedicated "DC Pride 2022" one-shot with stories from across the DC universe, the publisher's collection of Pride-themed variant covers is vast, spotlighting everyone from Poison Ivy to Superman.
He was, indeed, confirmed to be at least bisexual, if not gay, in the ‘Batman: Urban Legends’ storyline.
