Every time I see this page I think of this blog post

>It happened and we didn't know it. Somewhere, somehow, Dick Grayson became almost irrelevant.
>I think Didio realized something we've all known but just ccouldn't admit to ourselves.
>The DC Universe, as it stands, really doesn't need Dick Grayson anymore.
>It's taken 17 years but Tim Drake, the current Robin (Yes, Tim's been around for SEVENTEEN YEARS!), has eclipsed Dick Grayson in every way, shape and form.
>Dick Grayson died just that much more, off-panel, during Identity Crisis. During the comics event of 2004, Tim Drake had to helplessly listen to his father die. All Tim could do was collapse, weeping into the waiting arms of Batman... and that sealed the deal right there.
>How was Dick ever going to "top" Tim's story.
Crazy what even 3 years of perspective will give you, let alone two decades.
