I guess it would also depend on how much you take consent into consideration when someone's not in their right mind. Personally, I'd say that, for the sake of healing brain damage, I'd give 'em a pass. But I was also in the camp that supported what the League did to Dr. Light in Identity Crisis so I might not be the best judge XD
They've been telling us the entire time that Ric isn’t Dick so why not take it a step further and make it true. Ric isn’t Dick and never truly was, instead he was merely a distraction for Dick’s attackers should they decide to finish the job.
Oh yeah you're definitely not the best judge XD
If he's in a vegetative state, then the doctor can give the decision to the family since he's completely incapable, but since he's... relatively healthy, he can make his own decision, then legally and morally they should respect his decision.
Not too mention his convenient muscle memory super powers.

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.

The only issues I've ever liked written by Percy was the arc where Dick tortured people for information. And that was only because of the John Paul Leon artwork.
The rest is decent but safe fanservice ideas with mediocre-cheesy execution. That RV scene with Dick geeking out about cereal and exercise weights was lame beyond lame. And embarrassing.

Just remembered a thread I saw a while back asking about ideas for Red X as a Nightwing villain. And I think that's a great one. Here's a villain who has a connection to Dick in other media and is extremely well recieved, but never made its way into the comics. I think it'd be fun to hear pitches for it.
The best pitch I heard was this one:
I'd put two spins on the actual origin of the suit itself. It'd be either:Firstly have Red X be a persona Dick had used. Then have the suit, its tech and gadgets stolen and be used as a villain. Not a big scheming villain but a muscle for hire, petty thieving kind of guy. Dick tries to stop him but he is just as good as he is.
Red X could be a member of a school of assassins or something of the like Dick was a part of, a sort of friend and rival Dick had that he lost contact with. Or just a highly trained fighter who happened across the suit. Guy is mostly harmless though, like I said petty thieving l, and after Dick stops his crime spree, the suit disappears.
And this is more of something I just always wanted to happen in superhero comics in general: have all subsequent appearances be a different guy under the mask. Whenever Dick or anyone else stops Red X, before the final battle that would stop them they would discard the suit and hide it somewhere or give it to someone else. This really expensive suit with all the latest tech at the time loose on the streets where anyone could take it and do whatever they want with it. And Dick who feels responsible for letting it loose.
Since it will be a different guy under the mask each time his role will be different every time. Gun for hire, crime boss, anti-hero, full-on hero. Someone familiar, someone completely new. Always different, always temporary. With the suit upgraded and updated with each new owner who puts their own spin on it. When the gimmick gets old have Dick finally get the suit back. If one particular character who donned the persona gets really popular have him steal it from Dick again and be the permanent Red X.
a.)A Proto-Nightwing: Before he became Nightwing (or even quit being Robin) Dick secretly created the Red X identity to establish himself as his own independent superhero. But after he screws up his first mission out, he retires the mantle forever, leaving the Red X a mystery to everyone else. When Red X reappears in the present day, only Dick knows that it's a different one.
b.) A present day build up to it. No Snyder/Tynion retcon. Tell a present story with Dick being Red X. Creates villain persona to steal information from a hero or something else Nightwing can't be seen doing because of optics. After this storyline, leave it untouched for a while. Maybe an arc or two, and then bring it back as a villain, so that it all seems more organic.
