![]() A few months later, Dick and Kory moved in together in 1988’s New Teen Titans #39. It took Nightwing some time to look past her marriage, but the couple eventually reconciled in 1987’s New Teen Titans #34. Kory eventually returned to Earth and the Titans after realizing that Tamaran was no longer her home. Dick returned to Earth heartbroken, as Kory remained on Tamaran with her new husband. Kory told Dick that the marriage was just political, but his morality wouldn’t let him continue a romance with a woman who was someone else’s wife. Kory returned to her home planet of Tamaran where she was forced to enter into a political marriage with a prince named Karras. In 1986’s New Teen Titans #17, Starfire got married-but it wasn’t to Nightwing. When Dick quit being Robin in 1984’s New Teen Titans #39 and adopted the Nightwing identity in Tales of the Teen Titans #44,he credited Kory for helping him evolve and grow. The romance was a passionate one, and Dick felt thankful for Kory grounding him during a period where he was feeling adrift.

But once the vampire romance predictably ended, Dick began to work through his feelings for Kory. At the time, Dick was in a relationship with a vampire named Dala (no seriously, check out Batman #345). The topic of romance finally came up in 1982’s New Teen Titans #16, but Dick rejected Kory’s advances. Kory was a former princess who was now a refugee, hiding from slavers on a strange new world. Dick was nearing the end of his partnership with Batman and trying to find himself outside of the Dynamic Duo relationship that defined his childhood. Both of them were striking out on their own for the first time. Kory further explained that any skin-to-skin contact would have worked, but kissing was more fun.Īs the Teen Titans grew as a team, Dick and Kory grew closer. She explained that her race can absorb knowledge of a language through touch. In 1980’s New Teen Titans #2, Starfire kissed Robin, taking the Boy Wonder by surprise. The problem with the slavers was easily solved thanks to the newly formed Titans, but the second problem had a more creative solution. The first meeting was a bit complicated because she was an alien refugee on the run from slavers and she didn’t speak English. When the group came together for real in 1980’s New Teen Titans #1, Dick met Kory for the first time. ![]() Even in this subconscious encounter the mysterious alien known as Starfire showed affection for Robin, leaving the Boy Wonder perplexed.

Why did they break up, and where does Barbara fit in? The 2003 Teen Titans animated series featured its own puppy love relationship between Robin and Starfire, and Teen Titans Go! is-well, as crazy as that show gets, it also stays pretty true to Dick and Kory’s comic book romance. In fact, you could say it’s all but expected.įor those who are unaware, Nightwing and Starfire’s relationship was a key part of Marv Wolfman and George Perez’s New Teen Titans run. Now it looks like Dick and Kory might be getting close again, and for longtime Titans fans, that’s not surprising at all. While Dick and Kory did share a passionate night together during Titans season one (so long ago!), the threat of Trigon prevented them from revisiting the moment. Nightwing and Starfire have both had dreams of a little girl who seems to be their daughter, which makes things a bit awkward since they aren’t a couple at the moment.
