I do understand that you wanted to show that everyone doesn’t marry their first love with the example of Chalant. But why did you choose Barbara Gordon as Dick’s endgame ?
One of the reasons Chalant gets so much love is that we finally got to see Dick sincerely loving and being serious with someone else that Barbara or Kory.
Dickbabs already is endgame in nearly every single continuity they are in ( the comics + every animated Batman series or movie, and they are canon in the main continuity ) DC even black listed Dickkory to promote this couple, there is clearly enough ( too much ) Dickbabs.
I even used to ship them but by seeing them together everywhere, everytime it just disgusts me of them tbh.
It would have been perfect If you stuck to idea of allowing Grayson to be with someone else, Dickbabs is overused and doesn’t bring anything new or fresh to the show and is such a shame.
Young Justice is one of my favorite shows and you can’t imagine how enormously disappointed i was when i first watched episodes 6 of season 3, I really had hope that i would finally see Dick being endgame to another girl.

I don't really understand your logic - except as the logic of a contrarian. By that argument, we shouldn't have done Clark/Lois, Barry/Iris, Oliver/Dinah, etc., etc., etc.

Extend your argument to its logical conclusion, and we shouldn't have done any known superheroes at all, because you've seen them before.

But we're adapting existing characters and existing stories and the existing versions of the DC Universe. That was the gig. And, of course, the love lives of these characters are part of what we're adapting. Obviously, we're not afraid to shake things up when it feels right and/or necessary. But changing stuff for the sake of changing stuff isn't ever what YJ was about. And I think it's bad adaptation.

We did OUR TAKE on Dick/Barbara. Just as we did our take on Dick/Zatanna. Just as we did our take on Dick/Robin/Nightwing and Barbara/Batgirl/Oracle and Zatanna/Zatanna, as individuals, even though you've seen those characters many, many times before.

And, FYI, you don't know what our endgame is or was. Because, among other things, I don't deal in endgames, as my motto is "Never the End..."
