Even before Abnett's second Titans series the series was garbage going all the way back to Titans Hunt. It never had a strong direction, the relationships and characterizations were so shallow, and Dick was incompetent at every turn. I still remember that scene in Titans Hunt where Dick ran away in terror from seeing super powered people fighting, lol. He wrote such an awful Dick, Donna, and Wally. It is crazy how Dick and Donna basically had zero panel time together and no one complained about it too. Just so many problems.
I don't think he did. He confronted Bruce, Clark, and Diana about how he was going to start a new Titans team and he didn't need their approval, but then in the process of "telling off" the JL Dick basically gave in to everything the JL wanted for his new team. They wanted him to move the JL into the JL Headquarters to be overseen by the JL and Dick did it, then the JL wanted Dick to add Miss Martian to his team so she could watch over the team for the JL and he did it, and finally they made Dick take all the blame for the last Titans team disbanding. Dick's whole "telling off" the JL was a sham and he gave into every demand they set up when he had ZERO reason to agree to any of it. It was pathetic.
