OMG, how's this for tragic?

My little cousin was 6 years old when she began to watch The Batman. This was six years ago, back when Season 4 was first premiering. Sure enough, Dick Grayson/Robin the Boy Wonder became her favorite superhero (I was a little shocked it wasn't Barbara, but whatever). She's now twelve years old, and to this day has never read a comic book, ever. I was asked to watch her today, so while she was doing her homework in the kitchen, I was rewatching "Alienated" on my laptop. She came over to see what I was doing and when she saw the Batfamily in the Bioship, she instantly recognized Batman and kinda recognized Robin and Batgirl, though it took her a little longer. But then she asked who the dude in the black suit with the blue bird on his chest was. I told her it was Nightwing, but she looked at me like I had two heads. Turns out, she never saw the episode that Nightwing was in ("Artifacts"), so she had no idea who he was! When I told her it was Dick Grayson all grown up and that the Robin she recognized was new, these were her exact words.

"Wow. That sucks."

LOL So, yeah, believe it or not, there was someone out there who never heard of Nightwing. Wonder how many more of the younger fans that happened to?
