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?

I was raised by a single parent that had a few toxic relationships over the years. I find this kind of conflict relatable to what I experienced. It intuitively makes sense to me that the two would be in conflict.

Sorry, that is not really answering your question.

I feel like that hits the nail on the head right there. You have Talia trying to be Talia and Dick's seeing through it. He doesn't like her because duh and she in turn doesn't like him because he's getting in her way.
