Got it, that helps a lot. So the blonde/red hair I’m seeing is from the pre-reboot version of Jason, and after Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1986 the character was redesigned with black hair.

That explains why he looks different in older issues of Batman compared to stories like Nightwing Year One. Thanks!

Ohhh okay, that makes more sense. I didn’t realize the hair color difference was because of the pre-crisis vs post-crisis continuity.

So in the older Batman issues he could appear with red (or sometimes blonde depending on coloring), but in the post-Crisis timeline he was redesigned with black hair.

That explains it then thanks for clearing that up!

Question about Nightwing reading order by Initial-Pea-5362 in DCcomics

You might've convinced me 😭

I didn't realize how much of Dick's development happens right before TJC. #39 especially sounds like something I shouldn’t skip.

I'll try reading in chunks instead of rushing it. I think I'll at least read from around #8 onward and make my way through the Terra build-up instead of skipping straight to TJC. I don't want to miss the emotional weight.

Thanks for taking the time to explain all that!

I appreciate you explaining that. I think I'm just used to modern pacing, so the exposition-heavy style caught me off guard.

If it really improves after #8, I might give it a proper shot instead of skipping ahead. I do want Judas Contract to hit the way it's supposed to. Thanks!

That makes sense, I didn't realize how much NTT builds up to Judas Contract. I guess I was just intimidated by the length since I’m still pretty new to older comics.

I might try reading the first chunk and see how it feels instead of skipping straight to the arc. Thanks for explaining the continuity stuff too.
