Reviews for Grayson: The Sidekick Story - The Acrobat
CookieNinja77 chapter 16 . 8/2/2018
This was amazing. I planned to take a break around chapter six, but I just couldn't stop. I love how accurate and detailed this is, and I love how well it captures the fight scenes and encapsulates Robin's perspective. The ending was possibly both the worst and best part. Best because that one-liner at the end referencing all the previous episodes really hit me hard, and worst because the story is over.

9/10! I loved this so much, Dick Grayson is definitely the best Robin to me. I've heard many different spins and twists on his back story, but I appreciate that you didn't change it to much. Although in some others he has a Romanian background, and I wasn't getting that from this story. Keep up the good work, I really believed it was Dick talking and thinking! My only advice is to not repeat yourself, because is some paragraphs I noticed the same idea was repeated in different wording. Just describe more and you will be a bestseller! Go Robin! :)

First off, I'm glad many people have liked my story. I hadn't really done anything like this before and it took a lot of editing and changing but it finally came out in a way I was happy with. It's been a minute since I revisited this but I wanted to respond to some comments in the reviews about my depiction of Dick Grayson in the story. I'm much more a cartoons, animated movies, and video game fan of the DC universe than I am a comic book reader. There are some things I read and there are great stories in the actual comic source material but I'm much more influenced by the other mediums. The intent was never to make it comic book accurate because I wanted to tell an interpretation of DG that I preferred. I also liked the Arkham Origins storyline idea but wanted to spin it my own way and deviate from the video game story. DG is young and inexperienced. He is not supposed to be a great fighter or have good strength yet. However he is talented and I wanted to emphasize that his background in being an acrobat helped him transition to his life of crime fighting by having him use his athleticism to get himself out of situations. Sure, traditionally he is depicted as a better fighter than Jason, but for this world I didn't want to make DG feel too perfect. And it doesn't have to be fighting, but I wanted to give Jason something that made him so special that Batman would put up with his difficult personality. I might consider other options though. This isn't a chapter review, just a response to a comment. Thanks for reading. Also, if you want to check out my Nitewing mixtape go to /nitewing-order/

This was good yet inaccurate. Dick has always had amazing strength and was rarely the runner... Jason ran more and Dick is a hell of a better fighter. The story was great don't get me wrong but your character analysis was inaccurate and the core comic story missed a few parts. But again I really enjoyed the story.

I read this story from beginning to end and I like the way that you blended one of the world's famous sidekick, and one of the most beloved characters in the DC universe into the Arkham Origins storyline. I hope you write more.

Interesting chapter. One thing, Corvettes don't have back seats. If they did it would be too small to change in.

Wow! You should be an author this is amazing!

Interesting perspective from Dick. He is mature and level headed and perhaps a tad naive.

This back story is much different from all the others more realistic. No glamor, no nostalgia. Nicely done.
