After seeing the portrayal of Dick Grayson in Teen Titans, I didn't think that could be topped, but as I've gotten older, I've come to love this portrayal of Dick Grayson more and more. His inner struggle of fighting between wanting to be Batman and becoming like Batman is done in a way that respects who he is and his ability as a leader whereas other versions would treat Nightwing as fodder. This is Dick Grayson done right

Greg Weisman said (in his blog I believe) that the reason why he laughs whenever he ninjas was that when Batman taught him the trick the whole idea of disappearing from conversations mid sentence was so funny to 9 year old Dick that he couldn't help but laugh and honestly that's really endearing. Of the OG team he's both the most experienced and the most childlike due to him starting at 9, having like 5 years of experience.

[@cassidyburke9499]

This is without a doubt my favorite depiction of Dick Grayson I think in any Batman related media, like ever. It really gets across the thing I feel a lot of portrayals miss: Dick Grayson is amazing, he's one of the best, but he's not perfect and that's even better to me. He's smart, funny, sexy, and so charming, but he makes mistakes, and his mistakes often feel so realistic even in the context of the crazy universe he lives in. It makes me sad that we'll probably never get to see the full story of his relationship with Jason (especially Jason as the second Robin) in this universe because in the comics I feel like that's one of Dick's most interesting interpersonal relationships. Because like Dick made A LOT of mistakes with Jason as Robin that I think would've been very interesting to see Young Justice tackle. I love him in Batman: the Animated Series and Teen Titans, but like Young Justice just so perfectly nailed everything I love about him as his own character. Like BTAS got him right as Batman's counterpart (but I don't feel like we really got enough of him as Nightwing,) and Teen Titans showed what a great leader he was, but I feel like Young Justice really showed all of that and more. You could say they really stuck the landing. 😉

[@dafilmqueen556]

True, justice for Jason and Dick's brotherhood! If we could continue on his story, I would love it! Oh, and let Tim get his shine on two as the baby alongside Damian. The brotherhood of the Robins must live on!

[@mutantsandmemes]

​@@dafilmqueen556 I'm seriously praying for a Young Justice Bat Family spinoff show or movie written by Greg Weisman. Young Justice has introduced enough of the Bat Family members for them to have their own show or movie, and I feel like that would be a great opportunity to properly reintroduce Jason to the Bat Fam instead of another time skip where he's magically a part of the Bat Family or Outlaws. Like literally, Weisman's version of the Bat Family is the best I've seen in animated media (outside of a Death in The Family)

I love both Teen Titans and Young Justice Robins. But where this Robin succeeds where Teen Titans Robin fails is that he’s able to be lighthearted and crack some jokes, y’know, like a kid. A lot of times titans Robin is too serious in my opinion, I always liked the more immature and playful Robin, while also still being serious when he has to. Which is even better when he becomes nightwing, because he’s able to mature and grow up, whilst nightwing in Teen Titans just feels the same as Robin did.

[@Brasswatchman]

I agree. Teen Titans Robin felt like he was trying too hard to be Batman. Young Justice Grayson had his own identity from the start.

[@aozorahaou2643]

​@Brasswatchman Which fits the Teen Titans version of Dicks character arc given he just left the Bat Family and Gotham so Bat's teachings and potential brutal methods are still fresh on his mind, which is why the team is there to keep Dick grounded.
