PFFFTTTT!!!!! HAAAAA!!!!!
You have no clue about this character. Flawless? HAVE YOU READ NEW 52? He has no friends except Babs and Bruce. And they both beat him up when he rarely raises a fist at them and seem to generally not appreciate him(from what these panels be making them look like) until something bad happens to them. All his friends betrayed him, no longer have a connection to him, or want to hang out with Jason. He lost the Teen Titans history. His book was just set up for some Bat-Crossovers. He got wringed into a event he barely contributed until the last 2 issues. He was the e damel-in-distressed for Forever Evil and a whipping post and did zip but get beat up. You've got to be kidding me!
As a character, he ain't flawless either. He strives to be perfect in ways he can't be. Before he use to have some sort of daddy issues and is driven to prove himself when he didn't need to. He also has a temper and is a much more emotional character therefore pissing him off is just as bad as pissing off Batman. Probably worse since his anger results in the bad guys dying. Or a circumstance causes their death(most of the time he'll sulk and be sad he allowed it to happen and how much of a fail hero he is).
I can tell you haven't read much of D. Grayson at all. It's so apparent. Either that or you don't pay attention. It's not old news he's been set up to be canon fodder occasionally for whatever event and gets beat up, even though writers want us to acknowledge him as a Bat Equal so other writers can use him as a sub for Batman to not damage his integrity by having new characters kick his butt. Anyone thinking he's flawless need to pick up just about every major Dick Grayson story:
- Robin Year One
- Batman Dark Victory
- Entire Chuck Dixon Run on Nightwing
- Black Mirror
- Life after Death
- Gates of Gotham
- Streets of Gotham
- Traps and Trapeeze
- Night of the Owls
Like all the stories ive mentioned has Dick showing he's aint near flawless at all and occasionally makes mistakes but endures and prowls through. And showcases his awesomeness as a character. Even the first New 52 stories were fine in it's own right. Even If it was tieing into too many of Bruce events.
Being a nice person and looking good doesn't make him a bad character. Damn I'm nice and good looking. But that don't mean I'd be a terrible comic book character based on those 2 things. And that narrows down to like....A LOT of comic book characters.
And I ain't even going to talk about the other (former) Robins cause you don't seem to understand any of them either.
