Dont apologise for ice cream (never apologise for ice cream) it was a far more valid discussion imo then the robin thing. We dont comprehend your points at all because to us they really are completely invalid. To us the pure gymnast is great, the the reason he was leader of teen titans and other groups isnt just because he's batman's partner, it's the in universe version of that he has been in publication longer, it's that he has much greater experience then any other sidekick, so making him the leader makes perfect sense to us. and how would taking tim or damien out of leadership roles prove that Dick didnt have leadership qualities, that just shows that Tim and Damien whom you consider to be the best robins have no leadership qualities. Whereas dick was shown as the competent leader, became nightwing during tenure, then it was kinda too late to get rid of the nightwing outfit because if a grown man went around dressed as robin lets face it he'd probably be arrested for indescency. He continued to show himslef in leadership roles with outsiders etc. It wasnt because he was nightwing,it's because he was dick grayson. The most experienced young hero, who's had around 7 teams under his belt that only fell apart when he left, one of the premier martial artists of the universe and unlike batman is actually able to connect with people.
