I'm honestly surprised the name Heartless hadn't been taken already, but I'm glad it went to this guy. He seems like a great counter to Dick, especially with the surrogate father parallels.

@@BIacklce Nonono. His power is darkness. 'Cause Kingdom Hearts is light, and darkness is darkness.... 'Cause... Heartless.. Nobodies.. The Keyblade War- this makes sense, right?
I can't wait to see how he's defeated or killed, I feel if other villains learned your fucking with Nightwing before them, then you're on a pretty high target list.
I miss good, old, irredeemable asshole villains like Heartless. Now every single villain need to be this fucking boring "grey zone" character that is neither good or evil.
Not this guy, bring back Slade, their fight in Dick's batman run was the single greatest 1v1 anyone ever put up against deathstroke, including superman on multiple occasions, iirc he won too 😂
@@huntertezz true, that was a...kinda different fight, crazy cosmic stakes at risk iirc, slade was empowered (more so) and someones minion, not disagreeing, but I feel like we haven't seen OG slade in some time.
Imagine being an audience member of this horrific accident with everyone in attendance in stunned silence or crying at the gruesome display infront of you; only to hear a little shit in front of the stands clapping and laughing, asking for a fockin encore
@@DanExclaims He nuked Bludhaven out of petty hate. Thats definitely personal. That's worse than any villain has done to Nightwing. Deathstroke does go after everyone but when it comes to Nightwing its personal because of history. Also what about Talon?
I'm uneducated about Talon and Nightwing's interactions. Why would he be Nightwing's arch nemesis? Also he's a (relatively) new character, right? That might have something to do with it.
@@thebraveguy9808 Talon is Nightwing's grand father .The court of owls have been trying to turn Dick into the ultimate Talon since he was born. The court has done some personal things to him. Talon is also revealed as the mastermind of....the Ric arc.
@@huntertezz Eeeew, truly the Reverse Flash of our time. Only a monster could do something that dumb to Nightwing's story and think he could get away with it!
This guy kinda reminds me of the Wolverine villian, Omega Red. As there both sadistic psychos who relays others um… internal matter For a lack of a better term to survive (with Life force for Omega and Hearts for Heartless).
I thought , looking at the thumbnail, that it was about an alternate dark version of Iron Fist somehow before reading they title entirely 😂 Heartless looks sick , I’d love a full animated movie about him and Nightwing
@@DanExclaims agree ... it is great starting point and the art is fantastic however this run with interrupted with lot of crossover and events and main storyline with Heartless was dragged way too long. Hopefully this current story arc (and last one written by Tom Taylor) will be worth it. Off topic but another storyline that is dragged way too long is in the another comics you mentioned on your channel - Radiant Black. It started over a year ago and it is still not over :(
There're actually two things you can do. First read the Dixon run from the 90s and then read the current run, obviously skipping the stupid "Ric" part. Or just read the current run, still skipping the "Ric" part
if you mean if Heartless knows that Dick Grayson is Nightwing I would recommend reading latest issue. He kinda hates both, Nightwing as his archnemesis who constantly tries to stop him and Dick Grayson because of childhood and because Dick is making Bludhaven a better place for living.
@@muchanic yeah that's the part where I'm confused on on his coverage is that I'm not sure if he is attacking Dick Grayson also thinking that's going to affect Dick Grayson in both of his personas. Because of course he isn't going to like Nightwing but he also has a reason not to like dick. But it works under the same thing of like if Joker captured Bruce Wayne The Joker is going to act differently towards Bruce then Batman
There are some words academics and professionals are never gonna reclaim from public misappropriation. Introvert, psychopath, and OCD are three of those terms. We are barely even holding onto Bipolar. Not a ton of point in fighting some terms this late in the battle.

He should team up with Flatline one of these days.
They both like ripping hearts.
One of the absolute best villains of the current era
Lol no he isn't
@@thestreamingone8885 Why u think so

Agreed
@@entity107well put
"It was me, Dick. I was the one responsible for helping creating I Am Not Starfire."
That was not really something bad for Dick.
Although that's sonething Starfire's villain would have said.
LOL
"That's not true! That's impossible!"
They were married at one point, weren’t they?
Bro wanted money but got a son instead
We call those people “a sucker “
for Batman its "Bro wanted justice but got 4 sons instead"
@@bombingbarrett4813for robins it’s “bro wanted father, and got money too”
@@Insultz- money to cure physical and mental traumas that goes with the father
God the face when he sees the graysons dead encapsulates his entire character as well as being hilarious
Absolutely psychotic 😳😳😳
Heartless is such a cool villain, his storyline is so interesting and I love it.
So the dynamic of Hush, the MO of Thawne and a sprinkle of Tony Stark....nice
From heartless to Gordon jr there’s just something about such a nice guy like nightwing going against crazy zodiac killer mofos
Dang that’s really… HEARTLESS
Zing ⚡️
[Insert new title card]
I see what you did there.
I love when they do new and fresh back stories for side characters in long lasting modern comics
"Cause I'm Heartless and I'm back to my ways causes I'm Heartless all this money and this crime make me Heartless"
Man sounds like he's a kingdom hearts villain
Is his super power to be confusing for the sake of being confusing
@@BIacklce Nonono. His power is darkness. 'Cause Kingdom Hearts is light, and darkness is darkness.... 'Cause... Heartless.. Nobodies.. The Keyblade War- this makes sense, right?
It comes off as that writers layering three different origin stories on top of each other for this guy.
I can't wait to see how he's defeated or killed, I feel if other villains learned your fucking with Nightwing before them, then you're on a pretty high target list.
Really I'd find it more fun when wally or any of the bat family learn of this prick
“Predatory pharmaceutical CEO” is like taking redundant descriptions to a new level
Tbh as a fan of the original teen titans show I kinda expected it to be slade Wilson.
If there's a nightwing hate club this guy might be the president
Bruce won't cross the state to help out his adopted son, but he'll go to space on a whim. You know, because he can't leave Gotham unprotected.
Bruce was there when Heartless attacked. Also Bludhaven and Gotham are both in New Jersey.
@@DanExclaims Oh... Imma go eat crow then.
@@silverblade357We appreciate a man who can admit to his mistakes.
When I'm in a hater competition and this mf and Reverse flash is my competition 💀
I miss good, old, irredeemable asshole villains like Heartless. Now every single villain need to be this fucking boring "grey zone" character that is neither good or evil.
There needs to be a mix of both. Not all one or the other otherwise the 'playing field' feels 'flat' yk?
If you thought Slade gave Robin PTSD...
Don't forget this guy also killed Blockbuster. Poor guy, he's evil but he always dies in the stupidest ways
He looks kinda like the guy from big hero 6
I also like Raptor as a Nightwing villain. Hopefully his rogues gallery can grow
Last we saw of him was in Knight Terrors. Ghostmaker's ex ditched him for Raptor.
I don't think the writers of this comic know what selective mutism is
He should meet James Gordon Jr.
Oh man. JGJR is a Babs villain tho
@@DanExclaimsthen a team up should be up their alley
@@DanExclaims He was originally Dick's villain.
And he has connection to the owls now so perfect time to have a reunion.
Prequel comic: Young Shelton
Not this guy, bring back Slade, their fight in Dick's batman run was the single greatest 1v1 anyone ever put up against deathstroke, including superman on multiple occasions, iirc he won too 😂
Need to give Slade a rest. They had a big climactic battle in Dark Crisis.

Nah he is not the arch nemesis. That's still Deathstroke or Talon.
He is trying to be one though.
Deathstroke is too like…he goes after everyone. I need a villain that’s extremely personal.
@@DanExclaims He nuked Bludhaven out of petty hate. Thats definitely personal. That's worse than any villain has done to Nightwing.
Deathstroke does go after everyone but when it comes to Nightwing its personal because of history.
Also what about Talon?

Only a monster could do something that dumb to Nightwing's story and think he could get away with it!
That is an incredibly cool and terrifying villain.
Even just aestetically he looks so cool!
ARCH-nemesis? No, not at all. He’s good, but he’s too new. Blockbuster would be his worst enemy.
This guy kinda reminds me of the Wolverine villian, Omega Red. As there both sadistic psychos who relays others um… internal matter For a lack of a better term to survive (with Life force for Omega and Hearts for Heartless).

Jesus, did Mark Millar come up with this guy?
Also wouldn't it make more sense for him to be after Dick more than he wants to destroy Nightwing?
Tom Taylor .
"How can you be so heartless"🔈🎶
this is just bryce tankthrust
Thats pointlessly convoluted. There are a ton of cyborgs in the DC universe that don't have any negative fallbacks (except ironically Cyborg)
Convoluted
Systematically, not systematically
Damm bro really petty
I hear Bryce Tankthrust has a similar medical condition
Spade is night wings arch nemesis
hush butt for grayson
So you bullied Knightwing as a kid and now as an adult, you were stuck and hung up on him 😅 that sounds like a very sick man not a villain
Isn’t Deathstroke Nightwings arch nemesis?
I feel like I may or may not have heard of this guy. Either way, I feel under-informed...
Um isn't this oddly close to a Brandon Rogers character????!?!?!
Might be a coincidence
@@JP-jq2dr yeah don't worry I know it is, just funny that I'm now just gonna see heartless as a spin off Brandon Rogers character.
@@TheRobinWithWit If heartless becomes a super popular character then Brandon might reference him in a video
@@JP-jq2dr Hahahah honestky would be the best moment of my life. Comic and strange RUclips comedian meeting due to charcters having to steal hearts.
Who is that ?
I think I'm gonna start reading Nightwing comics, but where should I start?
So, I’d highly suggest with nightwing like…78. I have it pinned in products. That’s the current run that’s ongoing.

Thought out well but completely outdated and over the top to legitimize the tension 🤦♂️
So hes like the original darin cross
Holy shit, that's some edgy bullshit.

I don't like the name reminds me of that one amazing world of gumball episode
My favorite episode of gumball was when he’s running down the street and he screams at a brick wall to get out of the way.
Honestly think he’e a lame archnemeis
So I'm confused cuz I don't think you covered this is he aware did Grayson and Nightwing got the same people and if so how
