Now stuntman is a bit better, if all of a sudden Dick came from a family of stunt people I could live with that.

Tim wasn't a detective just a stalker. he comes across that way because he didn't deduce anything. he completely missed the point of why batman was going off the rails. he had been following them for ages yet he completely failed to deduce that Jason was family.
If they they wanted to show him as a detective then have him find out through all his spying that the reason batman was broken was because he has lost his son not because his sidekick was gone [which was the actual reason]
Unless he did know but was so tactless and selfish that he didn't care which is still a bad look.
I don't know how people are okay with taking out youngster behind his parents back. Doesn't say hero to me.
I feel that characters like Bruce and Damian have little respect for other peoples space but Tim is the only one who gives me Creeper, stalker vibes. After he joined the family he becomes a little less stalkerish but before he came across as a major stalker not a detective .
Only one member of the batfamily was written as stalkerish and that was Tim in his origin. Yes detectives are inquisitive but they don't all come off as stalkerish. It's cool if you find all the bats stalkerish. I only find Tim that way and in a majorly off putting way but like someone else said perhaps it was intentional and meant to be a flaw.

I don't have much of a problem with Dick being from the Circus. Adults still know what a circus is, and we still have families of performers doing street stuff alongside with theatre performances. Big compaties of performers that do gigs between big towns and cities. Well, at least here in my country, I mean. We don't call them circus, but they're almost the same (minus the animals).

Dick being a circus kid matters a bunch to the character these days. WHEN you have to get rid of the word circus, just have him be an acrobat in a Vegas style show or something.
If TBTB felt like they REALLY needed to get rid of the circus angle, I always thought that making him the kid of a pair of married stunt people. Keeps the showbiz angle, the somewhat pre-trained angle, but updates it accordingly. I don't necessarily think it's necessary at this point, but I always just kinda felt this made the most sense if they had to do it.
Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.
