Well you ARE the expert when it comes Dick and the Titans so I wouldn't debate any further. As for the story, I guess it could have been better with Wally and Kyle switching places but I don't see Kyle thinking that way about Bruce, I mean I know he drew pictures of 'Rat-man' but there seems to be a mutual amount of respect between those two (What is with Bruce and dark haired young men?). So in that respect, I think that's why Wally had to be the antagonistic one.
