Way to go Star, did not expect the votes to be this close.
While I generally like Starfire more than babs, the main reason I prefer her is that her larger than life / alien status better fits what I want Dick Grayson to be. Babs (by no fault of her own) generally leads to him being more caged to the bat family.
Babs isn’t particularly popular on these boards. I’m surprised she has the votes she has.
I'm wondering what this says more about (editorial, that is). The idea of Dick and Oracle (I did read just a smidge) was to me, what love can be; (like Wanda said to Vision, decades ago; "Love is for souls, not bodies").
But now without that story, what would Dick and Babs' love be like?
To some degree I also agree with the poster who likes him with Kory because she takes him to another place, so to speak, the bigger part of the DC universe, with a bigger than life S.O.
But I could get that with the NW/FB coupling too; it has ties to Krypton, Kandor, Superman, etc. (especially since hardly anyone ever brings up Bette's past as The First Bat-Girl).
Kory doesn’t really take him to another place though. She’s primarily a Titans character, and the Titans is a place Dick can already go on his own. She doesn’t really give him connections he doesn’t already have. Same goes for Bette. She doesn’t actually have ties to Krypton, Kandor, or Superman.
It could just be me. Ive never been Bette's biggest fan and don't pay a lot of attention to her.
And as for Kori (or Power Girl or whatever meta/alien/sci-fi hero) no, Dick doesnt *need* them to open up the bigger places of the DCU. Dick can, and has, gone there on his own. But having a girlfriend from those bigger places does open up new ways to bring those stories to Dick.
I like Babs just fine, dont get me wrong. But...I dunno. It would feel like both of them settled, I guess? I did like her better as Oracle too, but that's besides the point.
I still prefer Kori, or better yet, a new face (like POWER GIRL!)

Agreed that Dick doesn't NEED them. But it'd be nice to have a Superman Family link for him, too. Are Power Girl and Supergirl both Superman's cousins and on Earth Prime?
Then why cant he do that Have street stories with Batgirl and super powered adventures with kori
aside from Kori not being able to carry a book on her own
it doesnt even need to be kori, he could do adventures like that with Wally, superman, everyone loves Dick I jsut wish DC would remember
Kory takes him out of Gotham though. That doesn't really change the fact that the Titans franchise needs a major shakeup so hooking him up with her wouldn't automatically lead to anything new either. But Barbara will always be in Gotham, and in the shadow of the Bat.
Not that I think pairing him up with Babs necessarily has to tie him down to Gotham (or worse, Bludhaven) at all, but it does still happen.
