It can be frustrating to see Dick go from being depicted as a technical genius alongside his other capabilities in the pre-90s era, with incredible feats in the 50s-70s in particular, to becoming increasingly mid (or even incompetent) technologically such that the wind isn’t taken out of the sails of the designated “tech people” in the Bat sphere.

Seeing as I don’t think this will change any time soon, I instead propose a solution: Dick is still a tech whiz in his own right, but only for highly dated technology. You have a modern database that needs backdooring? Better ask Barbara, or Tim, if she isn’t available.

But if you, for some ungodly reason, need to access data off a punch card, or a magnetic tape, or a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk? You need to operate in UNIX? You need to write in FORTRAN, or COBOL? In this incredibly niche, one-in-a-million scenario, you call Dick.

It has been useful exactly twice, both times involving the nuclear missile system. Other than that he’s pretty much just trivia bait for anything below 32 bits.
