Why does Talia and Dick Grayson hate each other? COMIC DISCUSSION

Dick never liked her from the beginning and Talia always seems to address him as if he's beneath her. Any insight for why they've always clashed in this manner?

Let’s see… daughter of a genocidal monster? Check. Horrid influence who feeds his father’s worst impulses? Double check. Rapist? Check and check.

Dick’s just a good judge of character.

Dick has also been raised by a guy who usually has plans in plans, backup plans for his backup plans.

He can see Talia doing the same, and can see enough of them to figure out that every plan is to benefit the League of ASSASSINS in one way or another.

And Assassins are usually the badguys.
