SexViolHist Bib: Cases: Fictional Cases: Rape of Nightwing alias Dick Grayon

»Dick Grayson's character has evolved since he was introduced in 1940. In 1984, he graduated from the role of Robin to become the adult superhero Nightwing, protector of the city of Blüdhaven, an economically troubled neighbor of Gotham City. (...)
Beginning in Nightwing #71 (September 2002) Tarantula emerged as a frequent collaborator and one-sided love interest while Nightwing was establishing himself as the primary hero of Blüdhaven. Infamously Tarantula raped him in Nightwing #93 (July 2004) after killing Blockbuster. This issue was poorly received by fans and gained further notoriety after writer Devin Grayson controversially stated "I've never used the word 'rape'. I just said it was nonconsensual." (Devin Grayson has since retracted this statement and apologized.)« (Extract from: Wikipedia)
