[i]"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."[/i][/center][/hider]
What's not to love about Dick? He refuses to let his parents murder define him, grows in front of our eyes from a child into a man, from Robin into Nightwing, and manages to maintain his devil-may-care attitude throughout. Dick is allowed that rarity in comic books: the opportunity to [i]actually[/i] grow as a person. The boy adventurer turns into one of the greatest leaders in the DC universe and manages to do it all with a smile on his face. He's Batman at his purest, a Batman not embittered by his parents murder, partly by Bruce's design and partly through his own desire to strike out and prove himself able to stand on his own two feet.

Plus he has the glutes of a Greek god.
