No actually, its SO important to me that Dick's Discowing era is spent slowly realizing Bruce was right.
Not entirely of course, Bruce messed up ALOT, but there were things he was right about. That Those months, years are spent with a slowly clawing realization that some of the things Dick would of died on a hill for were wrong.
One of the first thing does is develop a suit that's all him, all what he wanted, no compromises no justifications no having to settle because Bruce said so, because Robin is gone but he has the world at his fingertips. Its moveable, its colorful, its fun in a way Bruce would never of allowed-
He nearly dies a few months later when a villain gets an unlucky shot and tears through parts of the suit he sacrificed armor for maneuverability because he always told himself it wouldn't matter if he could move right, be faster. Someone a year later grabs the collar and whips him around with such force he breaks his neck and only just barley survives not becoming paralyzed, the next version has it detachable but he still flinches for a while after is someone's hand comes too close.
People make comments constantly, some were welcome and invited. Most are not, some even touch his chest before he can back up, his skin starts to crawl. He doesn't have a cape to hide behind anymore, and he ignores how the slimmed down design offers little for warmers to be built in.
I'm not saying he's stupid, far from it! He's been a hero for around 8-10 years by the time he leaves (depending on your age hc), but he's still young and its canon that Dick was often so volatile and furious over Bruce it often clouded his vision back then.
And its not just the suit, he becomes a leader for a group and they're his friends and they're well trained... but not enough, not like he was. They get hurt, they make mistakes, they do things that they never had to worry about but Dick did, Dick does. More people join, younger then him, they nearly die and Dick has to sit with it.
He tries to fix it, tries to help, he's better at it then Bruce in a lot of ways but its a heavy weight on his shoulders and sometimes they spit the same things at him he did at Bruce and he cant help but think.
Was it this heavy for Bruce? Did he feel this way too? Dick would never know because Bruce never said anything and thats the problem.
It doesn't stop awful things from happening to Dick.
He moves only a city away from Bruce, says he wants to be his own man but wants to be close. Does he want Bruce to see the proof that Dick is better then him, that he doesn't need his Dad? Or does he just wish to be close but unable to bridge that gap?
Dick is left battling a sick city alone and its not Gotham but she's tainted and rotten all the same, and he doesn't have anybody, no Robin, no Commissioner Gordon, no Alfred. He has to be his own contact in the police station and tries to fight a loosing uphill battle of corruption. Amy is great, she will be great for this city- but she's not right now.
His knuckles are red and his eyes and body are black and blue and black and blue. He looses track of all the time he nearly doesn't make it. He still curses Batman out when he crosses the boundary into HIS city. He misses his Dad but Dick apparently cant have him without Batman.
There is a new kid and Dick is so angry but time blends and Dick see's how young Jason is. Doesn't stop the fury in him at Bruce but he tries to reach out to Jason and bridge the gap, thinking of those kids at the Titans he nearly loses over and over and over and over and over and over. He wouldn't of chosen Jason but he's his brother. He talks to his Dad again, not often but... more then it was. Maybe it will be fine.
He's in space and its hard but it's fine.
He comes home and his brother is months dead. Nobody told him. He cant admit that he doesn't know if Dick would sacrificed the mission or not. Takes years to accept that maybe putting others and the mission in jeopardy would of been an awful idea. He still would of wanted to know because he's Not Bruce and he hates he's become him in the worst ways.
Jason is dead and he wasn't there. He didn't get to go to the funeral. His Dad is a former shell of himself and Dick feels like it too. He cant bring himself to care that Bruce is going to kill himself or others. Dick know he should but he doesn't. His new suit has armor and is more covered and has no extra bits, and its black and blue and black and blue and black and blue-
Bruce was right in a lot of ways, and it ignites the fury in him to admit it even as he still gets in screaming matches with Bruce before stalking off to his city to pretend he's not a person. But Dick is just as bad, it turns out, so who is he truly more mad at?
Dick still sees his little brother everywhere.
