Does Nightwing Get His Dick Back in April?! Or are DC's Solicitations Confused?

Fans have been clamoring for Nightwing to get his Dick back ever since he was shot in the head and changed his name to Ric over a year ago, so we were all very excited to learn that will happen sometime in 2020. And Nightwing comics have been laying the groundwork and bringing us closer to Nightwing's Dick recently, so we know that it's only a matter of time before he ditches the stupid "Ric" name and we can all accept Nightwing's Dick inside of us again.

But could it be happening sooner than we thought?

Here's DC's solicit for Nightwing #71, in stores in April, and featuring Nightwing tied up by the Joker and still going by the name Ric.

cover by MIKE PERKINS
variant cover by ALAN QUAH
Having a chat with the Clown Prince of Crime is scary enough…being captured, tied down, and forced to listen to him is something else! Especially when you're Ric Grayson, and The Joker just wants you out of action so he can get to the Dark Knight. With no idea what his history with The Joker might be, Ric doesn't find this situation one bit funny.

April's Nightwing Solicits Confused Over Ric Grayson vs. Dick Grayson?

So does Nightwing get his Dick back between Nightwing #71 and Nightwing Annual #3? Or was it a Freudian slip by DC's solicit intern? We'll find out in April, but if it were us, pulling out Nightwing's Dick once again would be done with a lot more fanfare, considering how badly fans have wanted it.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
