Yeah, I feel sort of weird towards him. OTOH, whenever I think of my favorite comic characters, he's pretty much responsible for me loving them (He saved Babs and Dinah, he invented Tim and Steph, he developed Connor like hell, he gave us the only tolerable post-Gabrych Cass) ... but when he fucks a character up, oh boy does he fuck up (see Helena, Bruce, Nightwing Year One [GODDAMNIT THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO A YEAR ONE]), and he's kind of a dick.
