When Dick met Kory he was going through some growing pains, he was his own hero, but still always connected with being part of "Batman and..." a role he valued, but still chafed under the limitations that imposed on him. He was also a good deal more emotionally repressed than we're used to these days. Kory helped him mature into his own man, by basically loving him for who he already was, and who he could be, and he rose (no pun intended) to the challenge.
Aside from the usual heroic tendencies, Dick was ALWAYS calm, and logical, and in control, and slightly repressed (Not wanting to do anything to disappoint Bruce methinks), she was warm, and passionate and completely open with her emotions. He found that enormously liberating, and she recognised his good points too. They were very, very good for each other, and one can only imagine what the sex between Earth's finest acrobat, and an alien who could fly, was like, but the word "creative" springs to mind.
And as for the epitome of their genders, he's a strong, wise, physically perfect male, she's a passionate, caring, physically spectacular female.
Other aspects of the discussion I'm happy to leave for other occasions.
Thank you for your explanation. You make a good case, I'd love to read stories showcasing their relationship. I don't really have the time to chase down and read the entirety of Wolfman's Titans, though, but what would you recommend as far as shorter stories or arc go?
