Few people would argue Dick Grayson is the same Batman as Bruce.

I think Dick as Batman has a lot of story potential. I think they should definitely keep him in this role for a few years.

The whole point, and what really makes it interesting to me, is that it is a different Batman. It's Dick Grayson, the original Boy Wonder, trying to honor Bruce's legacy while still adding something new to the role. I think that's very interesting.

Also, Dick Grayson isn't Peter Parker, at all. I get that they both like to have fun and make jokes while they're doing their superhero thing, but one of the major differences is that Peter had to figure out Spider-Man for himself, whereas Dick spent many years of his childhood as Batman's ward.
