Tim and Dick both fulfill similar roles as Robin.
We can let Tim have this one, it's not big and he needs it more than Dick does. Jurgens is already writing Dick once a month and it ain't stellar.
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.
-Dick Grayson (Batman Inc.)
Jurgens is writing Ric, which is very different lol. Tim is at least one of many focal characters in one of DC's most pushed books right now. Regardless of how you feel about Bendis, the fact is Tim is better off. And anyways, the problem with these characters is pretending they're interchangeable. These characters should be and have been very distinct, and watering them down over time is exactly why this stuff is allowed to happen.
Speaking of Bendis tho, we're getting the Nightwing issue of the Batman Giant published as part of the direct market in November so there's some Dick content out there at least.

Was rereading a personal favorite (Batman No. 316) and Bruce talked about how he plans on Dick taking over Wayne Enterprises someday.

Did Tim’s parents die
In fact, Bendis doesn't follow Pre-Flashpoint continuity. He just creates the continuity he wants for his story.
Cassie is still grandaughter of Zeus, while Conner seems to be a clone of Clark and Lex.
Not to mention that Bendis has totally reboot the Legion.
So, Tim's parents being alive or not will depend on Bendis whishes.

Bendis didn't even remember that Manhunter is Green Arrows attorney and that Oliver and Damian already worked together in Metal, he just acts like it's their first meeting for his Event Leviathan. That guy doesn't even do basic research for the characters he's writing.
If titans Season 2 has 13 episodes Then Dick's Idenity as nightwing should be by episode 8-10 so about november
So Its my wish that The Dick/Ric is resolved in the november issue and we can moove out
Huh. Did a double-take on Babs in that pic. The Bat-symbol on her top almost looked like skin.
Anyways, yeah. Bendis ignored GA Rebirth and DK Metal like he did with Superman Rebirth.
I like the idea of Dick having to take over Wayne Enterprises for awhile but totally avoiding doing the job of CEO. Kinda like how Bruce is in the Nolan Trilogy where he's only interested in the R&D department and avoiding the actual day to day of the office. Plus I kinda want to see a superhero in a workplace setting, there isn't anything like that out right now.
I think it would be an enjoyable aspect to explore, it has the same kinda fish out of water/Dick would never do this by choice that being a spy has.
