The Name of the Church When we break apart the nine-word name of the Church, it is amazingly simple yet descriptive. A saint shuns that which is unclean or degrading and avoids excess even of that which is good. Paul did not presume the people he taught were perfect—only that they had been set apart to strive for perfection and to take on themselves the name of Jesus Christ. This article is excerpted and abridged with permission from The Saints of Zion: An Introduction to Mormon Theology by Travis S. In time, his son, Moroni, was the last remaining Nephite, the only good person left in his part of the world. Pour out your heart to your Heavenly Father.
It was in the spring of 1820 that this battle began between Christianity and Mormonism, and it was Joseph Smith who threw the first stone. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent the position of the Church. In this site we will not discuss their beliefs directly. Though a member of the 1st Presidency, Rigdon never accepted the teaching of plural marriage. The ancient purpose remains: that is, to preach the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ and administer the ordinances of salvation—in other words, to bring people to Christ. While members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have no desire to compromise the distinctiveness of the restored Church of Jesus Christ, they wish to work together with other Christians—and people of all faiths—to recognize and remedy many of the moral and family issues faced by society.
Why are Mormons Called Saints?
We do not worship the Son and we do not worship the Holy Ghost. We cannot call ourselves Christians—or Saints—and then happily spend our lives sinning. Others may try to use the word Mormon more broadly to include and refer to those who have left the Church and formed various splinter groups. Jesus Jesus is God incarnate and divine. If you have read the comparison table above then you will see how Mormonism is completely different from Christianity, even though they use many of the same terms.
Asia is bigger than the Orient. But as African-Americans themselves adopted the new language, most of us have tried to adapt our usage to the preferred term. She became a member of the Church at the age of 17 and began sharing her faith online in 1992. Technically true, but the general term now has a different, more specific meaning. Some may wonder why the Church has chosen now to make these changes? As many of you know, The Book of Mormon gets its name from a character in the book whose name was Mormon.
Not the first time This effort to distance itself from the Mormon name isn't new. Speaking the Truth in Love to Mormons Wels Outreach Resources,. Turn to Him for answers and for comfort. We have noticed that this has become more and more of a response by those we attempt to share the Gospel with. Also out: the word Mormonism, which the style guide states is an inaccurate word to use to describe the doctrine, culture and lifestyle unique to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. At this time, a great battle was scheduled between the two groups.
Why would the Church embark on such a monumental effort as this? According to Latter-day Saint logic, had the Great Apostasy not taken place, there would be no need for any restoration; hence, there would have been no need for Joseph Smith. No examples of the coinages mentioned in the Book of Mormon, like the senum, ezrom, and shiblums, have ever been found. At age fifteen, Mormon, still a serious young man, wanted to preach to the wicked, but God would not allow it. The prophet Mormon, for whom the Book of Mormon was named, abridging the gold plates. Eventually, Mormons accepted the name and even used it themselves for the name of their world famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Moreover, not all Christian churches are certain that Christianity must be defined by commitment to a closed canon. Historically, the different denominations within the Latter Day Saint movement have been hostile towards or dismissive of one another; this is largely because each group claims to be the sole legitimate continuation of the established by Smith in 1830. Mormons use the term because it is the one used in the New Testament. Polygamy Timeline: 1831 — Joseph Smith receives plural marriage revelation, though it remains unrecorded. The Latter-day Saint belief in a restored Christianity helps explain why so many Latter-day Saints, from the 1830s to the present, have converted from other Christian denominations.
He was a Nephite warrior and the father of Moroni. He declared himself to be a prophet of God. Each of these is examined below. He atoned for all who would repent of their sins, and He broke the bands of death and provided the resurrection from the dead. Thus in baptism … man covenants to abide by all of the laws and requirements of the whole gospel. Nevertheless, Mormons agree with non-Mormons that is significantly different from the trinitarian view of the of the 4th century. Ad The same is true for the Savior and His Church.
We honor him and treasure the book that bears his name. There is a verse in the Book of Mormon that states it quite clearly. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. But Latter-day Saints do not follow Mormon, we follow Jesus Christ. I wrote a lengthy post on this in 2006 at PoliBlog, which is now gone the to the rescue! Then one day your friend Bob invites you to a soccer game… You join your friend Bob and hundreds of others to watch the game.
There need not be and must not be on our part. The largest of these, the originally known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints , was formed in Illinois in 1860 by several groups uniting around Smith's son,. Each prophet had been required to write a history of his people and their dealings with God. The name also conveys our belief in modern revelation. According to Latter Day Saint churches, God re-established the church as found in the through Joseph Smith.


Puppet shows are always amusing. There is something about them that simply is appealing, regardless of age. With the success of shows such as Avenue Q, puppetry is no longer seen as a thing to amuse children, but rather, as it rightly should be, as a respectable performing art. And Thank You For Being A Friend certainly delivers a great show. Funny and enjoyable, the show was in essence an episode from the sitcom Golden Girls, but on the stage and with puppets. As part of Midsumma Festival, and with a production team involving Neil Gooding and Matthew Henderson, the show is definitely worth going to watch.
One problem that may be apparent to audiences is that as the show is based on the Golden Girls, then it may be filled with in-jokes and references that only watchers of the show will understand and enjoy. Certainly, a large percentage of the audience seemed to appreciate jokes that may be relevant to the show and the characters within them. However, it was very easy to pick up on the dynamics of the show. Said dynamic is in essence a bunch of crotchety old women; all who are working through issues in their lives and the lives of their friends. It was also easy to pick up the character traits of each of the four women, from the old, cynical Sicilian and her daughter, a sexually "adventurous" woman who falls into the "cougar" camp, and a sweet but rather dim lady. The story itself feels like an episode of the Golden Girls, although adapted to the stage. They debate ethical issues of the day including homosexuality, whilst at the same time keeping things light and humorous with modern pop culture – references include 50 Shades of Grey and Britney Spears.
The puppetry itself was quite splendid. The cool thing about puppets is that even though they are fairly stationary, with good acting, they can bring everything to life in a fascinating fashion. It is a credit to both the actors and the designers that the entire show looked like it could have been a sitcom. The puppets were constructed in such a way so that it was easy to visualise the actual TV characters filling in and the voices and facial expressions of the actors was well done. One interesting aspect of the show was the actor who played the character Dorothy was in fact a man – you can check out our interview with Dorothy's actor, Darren Mapes, here. Whilst it was initially done because of the original actress had a unique, low voice, it also added another dimension to the show, and it was certainly quite amusing. The other actresses and actors were all brilliantly chosen as well, as they could each inspire the audience to believe that the characters were there, in front of them. Instead of just seeing the actors and actresses, we saw the characters. Overall, it was very well acted and superbly imagined.
A fun little addition was the little 'interval' between acts. There were small television screens set above the stage, which at the start and during the show would occasionally have a few odd commercials playing. Although probably designed to help create that sitcom feeling, as well as giving the actors a chance to refresh, it was a nice touch that gave the audience something amusing and nostalgic to look at. It certainly helped get the audience's attention, and made them feel a little more connected to the play.
Thank You For Being A Friend was an ingenious performance. Fun, energetic, and humorous, it certainly left the audience happy and entertained. Whilst dealing with ethical issues, it was still light hearted and enjoyable to watch. The puppets added a certain engaging element, which was truly endearing and funny, and really brought the characters to life. Overall, definitely a great show, and a worthy tribute to The Golden Girls.

Home Featured - AZ Tennessee Titans: Why these three major overreactions should end
Oct 18, 2020; Nashville, Tennessee, USA; Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (22) is congratulated by Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith after a touchdown run during the second half against the Houston Texans at Nissan Stadium.

Tennessee Titans: Why these three major overreactions should end
Trust me; I was just as disappointed as you were when the Baltimore Ravens beat the Tennessee Titans. I am still slightly disappointed.
The season was promising, and the accolades were piling up. The only thing that was left to add to their 2020 season trophy case was the Lombardi Trophy.
It's difficult to determine if this season was a success or a failure because the Titans accomplished so much.
Winning the division, a double-digit win season, a 2,000-yard rusher, and a record-breaking quarterback are all accomplishments of 2020. But they were one and done in the playoffs.
Now there are some significant overreactions from the Titans fan base. I've had three days to read them, and now I will respond to the overreactions I've seen the most.
TEAMS WON'T HIRE ARTHUR SMITH
Oct 25, 2020; Nashville, Tennessee, USA; Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith walks off the field before the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Nissan Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports
I haven't just seen it over the last several days, but I have seen it since the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
This prediction came about because of a couple of games Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's playcalling wasn't all that great. As if a few bad games truly take away from his entire body of work with this offense.
Smith is one of the most sought out offensive coordinators in the NFL. He garnered interest from all seven teams that have head coach vacancies.
Another Jets' candidate drawing interest from the Eagles.
Arthur Smith, by the way, has been asked to interview with all 7 teams currently searching for a new head coach. https://t.co/9eb5wJ5QIj
— Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) January 12, 2021
There is always a chance all seven teams who have interviewed him decide to hire someone else. However, if all seven teams with head coaching vacancies are interested in him, I would guess at least one will hire him.
Besides, Smith made a historically dull offense one of the most exciting in the league. You could make the argument that he had a superstar running back at his disposal, but that means he knows how to utilize his talent. Teams will want that.
ARTHUR SMITH BLEW THE GAME TO BEGIN COACHING SEARCH
This one is funny every time I see it. Some critics truly believe Arthur Smith called a lousy game to immediately begin interviewing for open head coaching positions.
Let's look at it this way: Let's say you are being evaluated at your job for a possible promotion. Would you try to do the best you can so your boss sees you as worthy of that promotion? Or, would you do terrible so that you can get to the promotion quicker?
The second one doesn't make much sense. The offensive performance in the playoffs was less than ideal. It was the lowest point total of the offense all season long.
Yet, I highly doubt it had anything to do with Smith looking forward to setting up interviews.
MIKE VRABEL OR JON ROBINSON SHOULD BE FIRED
Aug 23, 2020; Nashville, Tennessee, USA;
Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson watches his team during a training camp practice at Saint Thomas Sports. George Walker IV/ The Tennessean via USA TODAY NETWORK
I hate that I am even addressing this. But, it's been one of the more popular opinions I've seen around the social media world.
Tennessee Titans General Manager Jon Robinson is coming off the worst offseason in his career. His biggest free agency acquisition failed (Jadeveon Clowney), and the entire draft class was mostly nonexistent.
Head coach Mike Vrabel's decision not to hire a defensive coordinator has led to fans blaming his "ego" and "arrogance" as a reason the team failed to reach the Super Bowl.
Although both statements may be factual, firing them is not the answer.
The 2020 season is a small piece of the bigger picture. These two men will undoubtedly lead the Tennessee Titans to more successful seasons.
But giving up on the General Manager or Head Coach after a bad offseason in an unprecedented year is a bit much.
Regardless of what happened, the future is still bright. The Tennessee Titans can improve their defense and make another run at it in 2021.

Dick Grayson: Robin / Nightwing Appreciation 2020
Page 81 of 88 First ... 3171777879808182838485 ... Last
AmiMizuno
[QUOTE=Badou;5273522]That is honestly the last thing I'd want. The Starfire romance was just as or probably even more toxic than the current Babs one when they last dated, but for some reason people act like that wasn't the case? I guess other media really overwrites what people remember of their in comic romance, but it was really bad at times. Plus I already dislike how tied down Dick is to the Titans as a franchise. I wish Dick was allowed to move on to other teams in the comics instead of constantly being dragged back to the Titans mess all the time, but that is a separate issue.
Although more than anything I just don't think Starfire is a very good character that offers much utility for stories. You can't really tell more grounded stories when Dick is dating an orange alien with fire for hair and superpowers. You are incredibly limited with what you can do and there is a reason you don't see romances like that in comics very often. Just have Starfire date Cyborg or something where they can at least be stuck in the Titans together maybe. I thought Odyssey was setting that up but it never happened, or just have her date Roy again given how "in love" they were according to Lobdell, lol.[/QUOTE]
That's not true if you can have Steve in many good stories date Diana you can have Dick dating Kori. That's a poor excuse. A good writer can make almost anything work. I mean we have big barb and Mister miracle. So it's not like Kori is off the Table. Also we have the issue of Babs just having DIck being more closer to the Batfam. We shouldn't have Dick be close all the time. With the Titans well that's what made him Nightwing. Plus JL already has Batman so they aren't going to have Dick be on JL. I mean he is more tied now to the Batfam than everything. They have taken Dick out of the Titans many times but never out of the Batfam.Starfire has had good development but things got worst when the wedding arc happened. That's the moment her character started taking a fall. If the JL can make Batman work with fighting with an alien. Than there is no reason Kori and Dick can be a couple. We also have the fact that allowed more Space Stories and a few others. Almost any good writer can make the weirdest things work. Even when they can make this.
Also her hair isn't fire. It's just regular hair. It can look like fire but that's more of energy coming from her. It's never been fire.I guess it's more of her appearance? That's not the first weird character appearance. The fact we have seen their romance can work in other media. It's not impossible. The other point to say that Both Babs and Kori really can work if you give the right writer. The whole there aren't much stories is a lie has there are comics that make the most silly things work. Babs is isolated and Dc doesn't know what to do or rather they hate her. If anything a actually love interest is needed it. We just need someone who isn't a batfam or a Titan. Someone else. Maybe being back Shawn? I'm just tired of keeping it in the family or Starfire. I know I defended her. But I love broth girls but also hate them in a sense of maybe it's time to move on from both. Clearly Dc wants Dick to have a messy love life. So it's best for him to be single.
WonderNight
I,ve been saying for a while that nightwing needs to become something different. Something not bat or titan, not babs or kori. But something new and different.
I mean in a way he has to be a paradox. For he is all of these things and not at the same times. We can't ignore that the titans are his second home. He is willing to help his family and friends. There has to be a way to keep them while also showing he doesn't always need to be great with the Babs or Titans. This so why I kind of want him to be single no more will they won't they no
More Kori or babs just ignore any new girlfriend. While I want Babs or Kori. Or a new love interest. I think right now maybe Dick should be single for a bit. Maybe for now here is what we have him due. Maybe have him be a private detective using his Nightwing skills to travel the global. He did use Harley Circus has a cover to stop uncovered superhero crime ring. Why not that. We can still have from time to time his friends and family meeting but not often. We have him on his own for a while
DickBabs just exhausts me at this point in time. The last time they were written well was in the Convergence mini by Simone. And Seeley did a decent job, I guess.
DickKory has gathered a lot of goodwill mostly through other media but their few interactions in the Starfire solo and now JL have been far more satisfying to me than what they decided to do with Dick and Babs in recent times, which makes it into less of a trainwreck to me.
That being said I think the relationships work better when they are platonic. Or DC could finally make a real triangle out of them, ya know?
I too don't want any love interest for a while. All they do is take away from the story. If there even is a story. But before Seeley booted that possibility out in one of his Issues, I thought Helena and Dick would have made a good couple. Not as end goal but as a "the one who got away" type. And yes I am totally biased. Nightwing/Huntress is the first comic book I read.
If there is a solo after FS I hope the writer decides to bring some supporting cast back instead of reinventing the wheel. Who ever mandated that Rebirth had to bring Blüdhaven back never understood that Blüdhaven only lives through its characters. It's not like Gotham. Blüdhaven has no unique landmarks.
Im not saying titans and batman shouldn't be second homes for dick, im saying they shouldn't be his first. Let the nightwing solo go a few years of world building without any batman or titans. Let Dick's solo stand own his own alot more or hell as crowded as the batfamily is just send im to another franchise. Dick's all about change right.
Badou
[QUOTE=Frontier;5273647]
I've never seen the relationship as perfect, but it's one I enjoy and I think it would be nice to see it in a new modern light in the comics, but that's just me.[/QUOTE]
Maybe you can blame the era the stories were written in, but the relationship was really toxic. Approaching that X-Men Jean/Scott levels of toxic, haha. I know everyone points to that whole marriage story, but it was rough. Starfire marrying and sleeping with the other guy and Dick going into fits of intense rage and deep depression. Then other times where Dick gets super angry at her and is written like an asshole, and then in other situation where Dick was kind of raped by someone pretending to be Starfire and the real Starfire gets super angry at Dick for it. It was a lot. I get that hyper drama was more in style back then, but it really left a bad impression on me. Overall though I'm just over romances in general or if I had to pick then I'd prefer something new from the ground up with an already established hero.
[QUOTE=AmiMizuno;5273682]That's not true if you can have Steve in many good stories date Diana you can have Dick dating Kori. That's a poor excuse. A good writer can make almost anything work.

The difference between Diana/Steve and Dick/Starfire is that Diana looks like a normal human. So she can blend into normal human society. Same with Clark and Lois. It allows them to be written into more normal situations. With Starfire she is an alien and looks like an alien so you can't really treat it the same. You rarely see romances between normal humans and super powered aliens that look non-human in stories from Marvel or DC now. I can barely think of any, and most of the ones I can are generally not set on Earth. I think it is because they are very difficult and limiting to write. With Barda and Mister Miracle they are both aliens/New Gods, so there is no real issue with them together.
I think Starfire works best flying around in space, but I don't really have any interest in reading stories about Dick in space. With how DC uses Nightwing it makes no sense for him to be in space. Then in more grounded stories that Dick works better in I don't think Starfire is really suited for them. So there is this big conflict with them together and makes a relationship difficult to write in my opinion. Then if you asked me to choose between the Batman or Titans franchises for Dick to be more apart of then I'm always pick the Batman one because of how low of an opinion I have of the Titans in the comics. I don't think Dick's generation of Titans has been written well in a Titans book since the 80s, so I don't have much desire to see him more dependent on them. But that is just how I feel about the franchise. I get that others feel it isn't a complete disaster.
[QUOTE=AmiMizuno;5273682]Also her hair isn't fire. It's just regular hair. It can look like fire but that's more of energy coming from her. It's never been fire.I guess it's more of her appearance? That's not the first weird character appearance. The fact we have seen their romance can work in other media. It's not impossible. The other point to say that Both Babs and Kori really can work if you give the right writer. The whole there aren't much stories is a lie has there are comics that make the most silly things work. Babs is isolated and Dc doesn't know what to do or rather they hate her. If anything a actually love interest is needed it. We just need someone who isn't a batfam or a Titan. Someone else. Maybe being back Shawn? I'm just tired of keeping it in the family or Starfire. I know I defended her. But I love broth girls but also hate them in a sense of maybe it's time to move on from both. Clearly Dc wants Dick to have a messy love life. So it's best for him to be single.[/QUOTE]
I guess it just depends on the artist. Sometimes it is drawn like it is on fire and other times it isn't, but my point is that it is very obviously non-human looking. I personally have no interest in either Babs or Starfire. I have no real interest in any romances for Dick anymore and am fine with him just being on his own.
Now if you ask me about what I want from a romance then I'd want something fresh with an already established hero. No more original characters, civilians, or past relationships revisited. There is too much baggage with Babs and Starfire to start fresh with them which is another reason I am not interested in revisiting them. I really enjoy the early parts of a romance in a story with the two getting to know each other, romantic tension, flirting, and the early dating process. You can't really have that with Babs or Starfire with all their history. I really enjoyed the slow development with Helena in the Grayson series. Something like that is more what I'd want. With her and Dick getting to know each other for the first time since the reboot and slowly growing closer over the course of the series. It just sucks that the series had a rushed ending with the writers leaving early where all that nice development was lost.
I see your point. While I do like Babs and Kori. I do think we should have another love interest for a while. Just not right now. Let Dick be single for a while. So you think Helena is a good choice? I think one of the reasons people don't want that is she is technically Helena Wayne his sisters. I mean yes and no since she is from another earth. Also aren't there like a few ways Helena doesn't even have to be a Wayne. I know they did it a few times
Yea Statfire's hair isn't fair just an artist choice when she uses her powers to make it look that way. But I get it she looks too not human. All I'm using a good writer can make anything work. But I do think maybe we should just have him be single. If people want Babs or Dick maybe elsewhere comic series is for the best.
[QUOTE=Frontier;5273647]I like Dick and Babs but it's become too much of a constant will they/won't they thing with no development and no real satisfying reason for them to just not be together, so I'm fine with giving that a break.
Giving some love to DickxKori comics-wise would just feel refreshing. [/QUOTE]
Anything that gets Dick out of that Gotham style street level mold would be refreshing at this point. And I don't disagree; it's been a long time since Dick and Kori were in a relationship and it'd be nice to see a modern spin on that. I will never *not* support that idea, if the choice is between Kori and Babs....or Huntress, Tarantula, or any of the forgettable women who have dated Dick Grayson for a few issues.
But I think what would be even *more* refreshing is a legitimate effort to develop and explore new love interests for all three characters, something more than just some original, throwaway character that'll never last beyond the writer's time on the comic. Y'all know how I am about Power Girl and Nightwing, but in all seriousness a concerted, *real* effort to move everyone's love life forward, instead of recycling stories we've been reading for decades, would be something *truly* novel and refreshing.
[QUOTE=Badou;5273853]Maybe you can blame the era the stories were written in, but the relationship was really toxic. Approaching that X-Men Jean/Scott levels of toxic, haha. I know everyone points to that whole marriage story, but it was rough. Starfire marrying and sleeping with the other guy and Dick going into fits of intense rage and deep depression. Then other times where Dick gets super angry at her and is written like an asshole, and then in other situation where Dick was kind of raped by someone pretending to be Starfire and the real Starfire gets super angry at Dick for it. It was a lot. I get that hyper drama was more in style back then, but it really left a bad impression on me. Overall though I'm just over romances in general or if I had to pick then I'd prefer something new from the ground up with an already established hero.[/QUOTE]
Again, not denying the relationship had problems and overwrought emotional drama as it went along, but I still really got invested in it. Ditto Dick and Babs.
(Of course, I also like Scott and Jean together, so...)

Starfire is never going to be stuck in space, though. She's a cosmic character but she's generally depicted as being on Earth where the action happens.
Personally I want Dick to be part of both the Batman and Titans franchises.

I don't mind Dick in Gotham, but that's beside the point :p.
I think the problem is that writers have tried to invest in original love interests for all three of them and it just hasn't worked in the long-term. Babs has now had a slew of forgettable boyfriends and Kori had...Roy and that police officer's brother from her solo book? I don't think the writers weren't trying to do a genuine romantic development, it just didn't make any sizeable impact (as has been the case with most of Dick's love interests that aren't Babs, Kori, or even Helena).
If Starfire would be a love interest it's not hard for her to always be in his comics. Like she is modeling so she isn't going to help him fight crime and a titan. There is also the question outside who would Starfire be friends with outside of Dick and Titan's? She also has to have her own life. With them giving her own cast that's just has important

I think one of the big issues is that the writers have tried to invest in new love interests but have rushed things too quickly, likely knowing that they wouldn't be on the book for long and editorial wouldn't enforce the next writer to follow through. Like, consider Shawn; it didn't take too damn long for them to go from "nice to meet you" to "I'd lose my mind if something happened to you!" There was no organic, natural build up and that left the whole thing feeling artificial and fake. No wonder fans didn't give a damn about her or her relationship with Dick. And this applies to pretty much every love interest introduced for any of the three characters; if the new love interest isn't just boring and bland to begin with, they don't get the time for the relationship to unfold properly.
If a new love interest is going to stick, then we need not only writers who will continue to build it up after the first guy leaves, we need editors who will enforce that consistency, and the love interest him/herself has to be compelling and interesting in their own right, and not just arm candy who exist solely for the protagonist's dramaz.
It's one of the reasons I've pushed for Power Girl so much. She's established as a character; we know who she is and what drives her as a individual, yet she isn't such a big deal she'd overshadow Dick. We know Karen Starr is Dick's type of girl, and she has history to draw from that can add to and enrich Nightwing's story, rather than just filling in as a requisite element of the genre. I've said all the same things about Kyle Rayner as a potential love interest for Kori; we know who Kyle is and can see how he and Kori could fit together and he exists as more than just a damsel for Kori to save. He's a character we're familiar and comfortable with, and not a new unknown factor.
Quality, as always, is the true problem here. DC has half assed their efforts regarding the love interests of these characters, but for a love interest to actually stick it requires real effort, time, and investment. And as we know, effort, time, and investment are the three things DC *isn't* willing to do with Nightwing, Starfire, and Babs (to a lesser extent).

I don't think it's just a DC problem. I can't say Marvel has been much better about it (looking at all the non-MJ forgettable Peter Parker love interests that came about around BND). It's just hard to get people invested in new character as serious love interests for major characters. And I liked Shawn.
I think Power Girl would feel out of place unless they were in a team book together.
Kyle and Kori would just remind me of Kyle and Donna :p.
The reason why power girl would feel "out of place" is because nightwing has to conform to batman. If nightwing was a more independent hero than characters like power girl or starfire would have no problems fitting in with nightwing.
But hey people seem to love there batfam and nightwing as just another bat lieutenant. But if you what dick as just another street level batman support character that's fine like what you like. But just don't complain when we get more will they won't they with babs, more batman villains in his solo, more disconnect from the dcu and his story being blown up for the Bruce's story, because that what comes with it.
If dick was meant to stay under batman then he should've just stayed robin. What is the point of nightwing.
I agree. I think he should be used less in certain things. If we had to use Nightwing in Batfam books. What should be the rules?

Simple! The same way other heros whi visits gotham. He's visiting so that means to you don't effect his solo (looking at you tom king). I let his solo about his story, his world etc. Just like all of the other A-listers. We already saw something like this with grayson, dick was able to visit gotham and the batfamily but still was able to have his own world and corner in the dcu with spyral.
Grayson felt like dick had his on life outside batman and in the dcu. Like he would visit the fam but moved out and on with his life. Grayson was dick moving out, nightwing is dick living in the basement.

No it's not just a DC problem, it's a Big 2 problem. At this point, if you're not core Justice League or a MCU Avenger, you don't get much love. And a lot of the core League and MCU Avengers don't get much love in the comics either, just more than the rest.
I liked Shawn well enough, but that doesn't change the fact the relationship went from 0 to 60 in three issues and never felt like a cohesive, natural progression. No wonder fans generally didn't get behind it, we weren't given any reason to.
And Power Girl and Kyle are just examples here. They're my preference for new love interests but the point I was making is that a new love interest, whoever it is, needs a slow burn buildup to get fans invested and the new L.I. would benefit greatly from being a established character people are familiar with.
And no, PG doesn't really "fit" the Bat-lite, Gotham-oriented version of Nightwing DC has given us in recent years. But Dick is more than just a Bat-lite, Gotham-oriented hero and has a deep history beyond Bruce Wayne and strong connections to the more fantastical side of the DCU going as far back as his team-up adventures with Clark in the Silver Age (maybe late-ish Golden Age?) and his time in the Titans editorial. Karen doesn't "fit" solely because DC has ignored a big part of who Dick is. And that's an easy problem to solve.

Again, I think the relationship would probably need them to be in a team book together to work rather than happening in Dick's solo. I guess you could go for a more fantastical Nightwing solo but it would really be down to the execution.
I got some ideas :o.
I believe nightwing should be global, the only real reason why nightwing has a city is because batman has a city. But nightwing shouldn't be batman (batman lite hurts nightwing).
So how about nightwing being the global detective! Something like instead of blockbuster being the king pin of bludhaven he's a international king pin? And nightwing's out to shut him down.
Nightwing could do this solo or with spyral or as his JL solo/team up missions.
VegasHaven would be dicks home base for rest, down time and resources and gear. Dick would globetrotte for missions and crime fighting. He could even have halys circus or spyral back for his globetrotting.
Nightwing: agent of spyral or JL. Globetrotting around the world to take on a international kin pin, a global court of the owls, a global organization of villains.
Yep dick has been so bat centric that the nightwing mantle came form superman and titans but love interest from superman and titans "don't fit" lol.

Isn't everything? :)
For a more fantastical Nightwing concept I tend to point to Grayson and Percy's motorcycle death race arc, as well as some elements of Seeley's Rebirth run. In a Nightwing comic where he's taking down global metahuman organ traffickers, vying for a chance to sit on the Mobius Chair, and dealing with evil multiverse versions of himself, a love interest like Power Girl, Starfire, Jade, Jess Cruz, or whoever the hell, makes perfect sense.

... That's actually very good. Enough "wow, it's like the 90s again!" to carry those fans over, but instantly a different vibe and scale. Good thought!
One thing that comes up from time to time is Dick travelling as part of Haly's Circus, as in the start of Higgins' run. I have to say, as far as suspension of disbelief goes, "Nightwing only shows up in places that one circus goes, and only since that one guy started touring with them" is a tough one to swallow!

Ah, sometimes I wonder where we'd be by now if we'd had two years of Percy rather than the Ric storyline. He'll never be my favourite writer, but he had legitimate big plans, was gearing up to make big changes, and was doing a decent job of the "maybe Nightwing starts streetlevel but he'll scale up" comic book storytelling that Dick doesn't often get. Felt like it was cut off just as it was about to show its potential.
Oh I get that, It why I like spyral. The way to go about it is people don't know nightwings in town. The only people that knows nightwing town are the bad guys he just beat up, and they dont know halys in town. Or dick just travel on his own. Or rejoins spyral with helena or artemis crock or bette ashis partner.

I often wonder the same. Percy's not my favorite writer by any stretch, and I disliked how he turned Dick into a technophobe, but he definitely had a vision for "Nightwing" and not just "Batman's sidekick" and I think overall, whatever Percy was planning to do would've been a positive gain for the character even if I took issue with some of the details.
That said his death race arc was by far the best thing he did on the title, and I'd even go so far as to say they're some of the best issues Nightwing has had in the past decade.

Imo they were some of the best Nightwing Issues in the past decade. They encompass a lot of what I want to see in a Nightwing book. Globetrotting, new characters (Silencer), old characters (Flamingo), Dick on a bike :p, and the tech-magic mixture was great too. Percy definitely had plans to re-establish Dick as a well connected hero and back then his plans sounded a lot like the things Seeley wanted to do.
It's amazing how much more fun and interesting nightwing becomes when he has the entire dcu as his sandbox and isolated in a bland empty city.
As far as the fantastic themes just write the nightwing alot as a titans solo than a bat solo. Problem solved.

Sadly not if Bateditors don't want that. The only way is if he and the titans get their own editors and make a deal that Dick can be used limited in Batbooks. Other then that Nightwing should be on his own.

Agreed. To be honest that's why he could simply could get a job has a P.I or like you said using Haley's Circus to fight around the world. We do know the Court of Owls have Harley's Circus. So it would be nice if he takes them now. Yea I love Bludhaven would be more experiment city and move it out of the state like Gotham.

Yeah, Babs is not a Titan, never has been. Only reason she showed up in the 1999 Titans series is because she was Dick's girlfriend.

Jurgen's Dick is such a pill. Now even Christmas is a battle. The dude is just a bummer. They finally give it up and bring back Dick, and all he has him do is bitch about it. It really was just so stupid leaving this guy on the book. I don't know if he's bitter about Ric's reception or what, but i really don't understand what he's trying to accomplish by making Dick the one buzzkill to his own return.
Yea. Dick is not Bruce. To have him be like this is dumb.

See, I think that's perfectly valid - Percy overdid it, because he's not a subtle writer, but I think it's perfectly valid to say "Dick grew up in a circus, circuses aren't really a thing any more, so he's probably quite a Retro Person". It also does give him a bit of a USP among the Bat Family - in that people like Bruce and Tim are techy forward planners, whereas Dick is an improviser who does most of his crime fighting with two sticks.
He shouldn't be [I]ignorant[/I] of technology, but disinterested and not having it as part of his Civilian Life? That seems plausible.
