I can take him either way, as far as sidekicks go. I think there's a lot you can do with both scenarios and I think they both say something interesting and valid about the character.
As far as Superman goes, I actually like them to be frienemies. They're brothers who love each other and respect each other, but don't really get along all that well most of the time.

For Bats and the Bat Family; it depends on the story arc. But overall, I like the Bat Family. And, though it may be odd to say it since Bats is a human, but they help keep him grounded in reality. Otherwise, his obsession would take over and he wouldn't eat, sleep, or take time off to be "Bruce Wayne".
As for Batman and Superman being friends; they're brothers from other mothers. They don't agree on everything, but they always have each others' backs.
While not as close to Diana, Bruce would still see her as a friend as well. Being about Truth and Compassion certainly helping in that regard.
I'm one of those people that believes the Trinity ought to be like siblings in how they treat one another and how close they are. Close friends that, while they don't always agree on things, they will always help the other 2 out.
Back to the Bat Family; a lot of the dynamic of the family was destroyed with the New52. Like Cass being Bruce's adopted daughter, Stephanie being Robin even though it was short lived, etc. While, with Rebirth, Cass is welcome to Wayne Manor and Bruce clearly sees her as one of his, there's still a disconnect there from the New52 reboot. Tim, I'm not a big fan of his, but I don't hate him either. But shortly after coming back, he was shipped off to the land of Off Panel along with Stephanie.
Jason, oddly, has had the best development since at least Rebirth kicked off. Finally having friends with no association with the other Robins, growing past his death, and developing his own little family dynamic with Artemis and Bizarro that seems much more well balanced than almost anything he had with the rest of the Bat Family, barring maybe Alfred.
Dixon's Detective run has some great Batman and Robin stories. He made sure to put the detective into Detective in those stories and I enjoyed them.
I like Batman solo as well though.

Batman and Robin, yes.
Batman and Robin and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
No thank you.
It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

I prefer him solo.
