just to throw my two cents in... dick grayson as robin or as nightwing has proven himself to be much more than "just a gymnast". this is someone who was an exceptional crimefighter who was also a born leader, and an exceptional detective. and for that last part, i think that many fans forget that dick is for all purposes a detective and a great one at that; comic book history has shown us and stated many times that while he was robin, nightwing, and even batman he had great detective skills. and i remember reading online somewhere that nightwing was considered to be one of the top seven non-meta human fighters in the dc universe.

so yea, this guy is way more than just a gymnast. and yes he is also my favorite robin.
