Like I know that they can do better because there's a lot of things this year that have been really strong ideas presented well. It's so annoying have this one end slipping!
Yes! I think the problem has been we're not seeing Dick as Batman under the cowl in all the Batbooks. Streets of Gotham? Yes. (Save for those two issues written by Mike Benson, I believe it was....)Batman and Robin? Yes. (And Dick telling Slade exactly how many people died in Bludhaven was fabulous.) But it's not across the board and I think that's been one of the main problems. Actually I think that's THE biggest problem. Agreed, the scenes between Dick and Selina were good, but I don't even hear Dick's inner monologue voice coming through in Batman. If it's a performance that Dick's doing, then make his actions be like Batman's fine, but not his inner monologue. That's one of the things that really bothers me.
And you know, I know fans have nitpicked at Dick not having a head for numbers thing before, but I don't know, I don't see a problem with it. I mean I want these characters to have flaws and not know everything. It makes them more "human-like." I'm perfectly fine with Dick being the optimistic *Go-team* leader who endears himself to everyone around, rather than being able to do and be everything. Bruce himself left the books to Lucius anyways.
