Something Light For Friday: Who Would Win In a Fight?
November 21st, 2008 by Esther Inglis-Arkell | Tags: bucky barnes, DC comics, dick grayson, robinWe’ve all done Batman vs Superman, and Batman vs Captain America.
How about Original Bucky vs Original Dick Grayson?
It seems like an uneven fight, since Original Bucky fought Nazis while Original Dick Grayson just ran around in a futile effort to make Batman seem less gay, but I’ll be buried deep in the cold, cold ground before I admit a Marvel anything trumps a DC anything, so I’m going to call it for Dick Grayson.

No way!
Bucky has been machinegunning entire crowds of dudes since he was 16! Dick’s “Us Batfolks never kill, son!” training just means that he’d get to flip around a little before Bucky tosses a grenade at him.
You know the scene in Indiana Jones where the one guy is going crazy with the sword, showing off, doing moves, and Jones is just like “ugh” and shoots him? It’d be like that.
Marvel: 1
DC: 0

bucky takes it easily. the only question is whether or not dick is killed in the process.
How often does Dick Grayson ever actually get hit with a bullet? He was born to fight guys with guns.
Dick: 2
Bucky: 2
I have to call this for Bucky. Gotham’s a shithole, but it’s not WAR.
Bucky would just shoot him.
“Original Dick Grayson just ran around in a futile effort to make Batman seem less gay”
I thought that was what Batwoman(and Batgirl in Dick’s case) were for?
Not sure who would win the fight though. Dick gets shot at all the time, but doesn’t seem to get shot often, so either he’s doing something right or Gotham mobsters are incompetent with firearms.
And anudda t’ing!
Dick Grayson, noted kid sidekick who has grown out of his sidekick status, has a red-haired love interest. She’s super smart, athletic, and clever.
James Buchanan Barnes, noted kid sidekick who has grown out of his sidekick status, also has a red-haired love interest. She’s smart, athletic, and a Russian spy who talks like mooz und sqwerl.
Bucky > Dick, qed, vis a vis, quid pro quo.
Though, both of them have sexual undertones to their nicknames… maybe this battle isn’t so cut and dried at all!
This fight needs to fought in some kind of clingy mud or oil like substance. And filmed. So that I can sell it on the internets for many many dollars…

Bucky as..er..Bucky versus Dick Grayson as Robin goes to Bucky, obviously. Bucky’s gymkata is at least as good as Dick’s, plus he’ll go for the kill. It’d be a hell of a fight, but I’d put my money on Cap’s sidekick, no questions asked.
Bucky versus Tim Drake as Robin could be a lot closer. Tim doesn’t fight quite as well, but he fights dirtier. Plus, he’s smarter, and uses more gadgets. Depending on circumstances, either one of them could win a narrow victory over the other.
Bucky versus Jason Todd…well, let’s see, Bucky’s resurrection has been fucking awesome, while Jason Todd’s resurrection has blown goats from start to finish. Bucky wins.
Clearly you are all in the pocket of Big Marvel.
@Andy: Dick spent half of his last Nightwing arc getting shot.
@Endless Mike
My vision of Dick is probably influenced too much by the animated series version where he was pretty awesome.
