Aqualad isn't leading because he was planning on stepping down sooner or later. Also, there's the whole deep cover thing. We still get to see him lead manta men so don't go complaining that we'll never see him lead ever again. We haven't gotten to see Dick lead much yet so let him get a chance too. As I've already said, we're going to see MANY people lead and because of the squad system and how various characters have matured into capable leaders so just because Nightwing is leading doesn't mean he's the only one will get to see in the leadership role. We've actually already gotten to see others lead si far.
