It just seems like when I think of big success moments from the past year they are always about other people.
Very true. And I also meant to note that Dick doesn't seem to have an emotional arc in ANY of his books. Not in B and R, not in Batman. Not in SoG, although I did like that story where Huntress and Dick worked together. And I liked the more complicated side of Dick we saw a flash of in his interactions with Selina and with Helena (at that party and right after)--if only for a minute--oh, and the dream sequence, in Batman.
Yet, no real arc, and no arc for Dick at all in Batman and Robin. (As you say, Morrison almost seemed like he was building one in, with that conversation with Alfred.
But then it went away, never to be referenced again, like Morrison got distracted by his own sense of awesome self-satisfaction in writing Pyg do a lap dance for a ten-year old. So OUT THERE, man! /sarcasm
