And in the last issue, he got a concussion and still had the upper hand on Heartless until he cheated and run away.
It's a big deal considering how she did it. Geared up and alerted Nightwing not even able to handle in civvies Barbara. It wasn't some surprise attack Dick didn't expect. He knew there was an intruder in his home.

Then she gets to crap on his security system just to hit the point home how incompetent Dick is, but I guess that can now all conveniently be pushed to the side because Dick is suddenly still suffering from his past bullet-through-the-head trauma that played no rule in his skillset in the past 2+ years.

Dick gets his wallet stolen because equally as conveniently the normal citizens of Blüdhaven are poor innocent angels now, which makes Dick leave his wallet on the counter as any sensible human would. Or maybe he is so proud of himself for throwing a pizza party, that he forgets about the wallet. Just normal Dick Grayson things.
Plus the wallet was one whole mcguffin for like two Issues, so Dick didn't have to show any detective skills he might or might not have under Taylor.

Best Robin, whatever. It's dumb but par for the course. And I guess we have a batchat now. The important stuff.

Heartless was ok. Expected considering he's a new villain but Badou detailed what happened afterward well enough. That's not Nightwing planning. Considering how often Dick has been involved with Zucco he shouldn't even be that emotional and, heck, why are Barbara and he talking while he breaks in anyway. For a told you so moment? Yeah, if Tim and Babs didn't want Dick to leave maybe they should have held the Melinda information back.

When Taylor wrote "Dick is humble" he seems to have mistaken that for the narrative has to humble Dick every Issue.
