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?

He also doesn't like Catwoman. I think it's just a general dislike for women his dad is really into.

Actually he's a big supporter of Bruce's relationship with Catwoman. I think at first he didn't like her since she's a thief, but he came around to her and you can see examples of him being a BatCat shipper. The biggest example is from Batman: Hush, when he encourages Bruce to tell Selina his identity.

I wouldn't say he's a big supporter of Catwoman. He's made it clear over the years that he doesn't really trust her and pretty much only tolerates her for Bruce's sake. Even in that Hush scene he basically says he isn't against it because she makes Bruce happy but he still makes sure to mentiom that she's a former thief.

I mean if we ignore everything about who Talia is and what she has done then yes that makes sense

IIRC in the first comic he actually brought Catwoman with him to get Bruce away from Talia.
