Because it's close to his original badass costume.
I don't mind the new 52 except for the cape.
To me, it's mostly just a pure hate for the wings.
Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP
My biggest fear now is that Tynion and DC's goal in rehabilitating Tim was returning him to a vague status quo from circa Geoff Johns's Titans run; this would mean not referring to the great stuff at the beginning of Tim's career (too much Steph, Cass, Cop!Dick, and Jean Paul too allow them to focus on that) and the good stuff at the end of his solos (since Tynion seems to dislike the Red Robin suit as Tim's, and they refuse to clarify what the immediate past was like.) Which is a shame, because as much as I liked Johns's TT, the super-hacker Tim resembles the mad scientist Tim Johns wrote, and it's arguably the most boring time for the character.
I mean, it's far more important to have fun reading the character than to be impressed by techno-babble; Dixon focused on a Tim who used cunning gambits, and Nicieza focused on strategy, and both are far more engaging to me than bad melodrama about cloning your buddy or hacking someone's guns. And the issues we have with his suit are largely based in the idea of Tim's identity being stuck in stasis: is he a graduate Robin, or Robin B to Damian's Robin A?

I'm still baffled lf the directio that Tim's jntelligence took, putting on Tony Stark levels, i don't had much problem with superacking, but creating self repairing buildings, jesus, i know that Tim tried to clone Kon at one point, but he failed at that. Hell even when his intelligence increased before the reboot, it wasn't on this level.I mean, it's far more important to have fun reading the character than to be impressed by techno-babble; Dixon focused on a Tim who used cunning gambits, and Nicieza focused on strategy, and both are far more engaging to me than bad melodrama about cloning your buddy or hacking someone's guns.

After Kon and Bart's series were cancelled, this conversation in Young Justice was spot on.

Ah man, Ives was cool, sad that we haven't seen it since the reboot. Also, if that issue written by Dixon?.
