I can not see any reason to remove him than add another shadow in an already dark world.
I want to ask Snyder fans how could you say you love DC and superheroes as a whole when you approve Snyder removing the optimism, hope and love inherent to its core. If I want to watch moral ambiguity, I would watch Watchmen or The Boys. The strength of superheroes have always been in the belief of what is good and that no matter what happens, in the end, good will always vanquish evil. Call me naive or a child; that I should grow up and put on my big boy pants. But is it greater to close one's heart and survive or go on fighting for what is right even if you know it is impossible to win?
Dick Grayson was the embodiment of this. He fought for what is right in every stage of his life. Whether he was Robin, Nightwing, Batman or Agent 37. He never gave up on people even when he was betrayed numerous times. He lead and taught the people around him to be the best of themselves. He taught them the best lessons Batman taught him, the lessons that mattered. He showed everyone what the Batman symbol represent better than Bruce Wayne himself. You know that Ace scene in DCAU, one of the best moments of Batman. That is Dick Grayson everyday since he was Robin until now. Why throw such greatness for a vandalized Robin costume we only saw for a few seconds that casual audience won't even understand the impact of?
