Agree. And I feel sometimes that's not just the problem of the Batman!Dick. I have to admit I don't read a lot of comic, but those pages always give me an impression that the writers consider him...er...quite average? Most of the people around him excel in certain field. Dick is good at almost every field but he can still be considered average comparing to them. For acrobat ability they have flying meta allies. And now Steph is the one bright and has common sense in the family. I'm not saying they should make him go extreme in some field(actually I hate that most of the time). Maybe the writers think being normal, the starter of one of the biggest family in DC, and safety line(in mind and body)for families and friends make Dick special. And I can totally agree with that. But certainly they should nail it better. And now I start to worry about Bruce's return. That would bring a lot of uncertainty and angst and I hope they would write it good. There's too much cheap angst in comic nowadays. I have high hope for the current batstory and don't want them be ruined.
