I have more of an issue with Bat God then Bat Dick. But to be honest I enjoy Batman from the 60s and 70s more then any other era. A time when his best friend was Superman, a time when Gordon points out he is working to hard and orders him to take a vacation And he LISTENS, a time when he and Dick were still family, a time when he saw the Metal Men as crime fighting equals.

There is a great line in my favorite Batman story Generations Vol one. Bruce is talking to Alfred. He says "People got so used to seeing Batman they forgot to be scared of him." Alfred replies "More then enough in this world to be scared of. What the people need is a rock they can depend on." That is what Batman should be.
