Nightwing Hoses Himself
I believe that Nightwing is the DC Universe's biggest slice of beef. He's all about the gratuitous shirtlessness! Smart boy, he knows how to make his fanbase happy. Here's a perfect example: in Azrael #13, Dick shows up to spar with a recently injured Azrael to see if he's recovered. In the middle of a conversation he takes of his shirt, faces the reader and starts hosing himself down. Nice! The only drawback is that this was during the ponytail years, but we'll take any Nightwing beef we can get.
And as a bonus, I bring to you the Dick Grayson Estrogen Brigade. Some guests at Donna Troy's wedding drooling over Dickie Boy. I wonder why they're not ogling Bruce's ass too. He's no slouch. (New Teen Titans V1 #50).

So I was right, there really is a Dick Grayson Estrogen Brigade in real life!
I guess the Wingnuts are still around. I was a waitlister on the Titans APA, but never got elevated to member status (limited membership plus a limited number of waitlisters), so I quit.
And it answers the question: Why aren't they ogling Bruce, too? Because they're Wingnuts! ;)
BTW, George Perez lived in Queens, NY when I was friends with the blonde and she was visiting from her home down south and asked if I'd like to meet him. Fangirl that I am, I jumped at the chance. George was very nice and agreed to do a program for me at the library where I worked. He ended up doing 2 programs for me, for teens looking to break into the comics industry. The kids loved meeting him, too.
I believe I did a post on it on my blog: http://shellyscomics.blogspot.com.
