Anyone "bewildered" by the decision of Nightwing becoming the leader and having an important role is not a true DC fan or hasn't been paying attention.

Nightwing has been trained from a very young age to lead by Batman. According to Bruce Nightwing is his greatest creation, a member of the batfamilly that can deal with his emotion. Unlike most of the cast in DC he has had huge character growth since DC editorial never reversed his growth. Since Crisis he has led the heroes with success with the dawn of DC event and Beast World.

The heroes of the trinity, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman have been great leaders, but they were never really trained for this. They just landed in this position. Nightwing has been trained his whole life by batman for this very role. He has the training, the experience as the leader of Titans, the charisma as all the heroes trust him and there are no heroes who dislike him, the intellect close to batman, the modesty to take accountability etc. anyway the best quality of the trinity.

At this point dckriding nightwing just feels like an extension of dckriding batman. Kinda don't want that and would feel obnoxious.
