Bat-mite or some other weirdo: I can change him back to Robin and keep him that way forever

Bruce (infinitesimal hesitation): No.

Batfamily, Justice League, everyone (scoffing): of course 'no' what a dumb thing to ask

Dick, who knows Bruce better than anyone alive:

I wonder how much Ollie meant by it. As in, he says “looks”, which could mean she resembles Dick from a purely aesthetic basis, but he also mentions non-physical traits right before. Is it just an acrobatics thing? An attitude thing? A vibe thing?

Perhaps most notably in this very oddly phrased comment which we eventually find out was made by Bruce in his private journal, in a turn of phrase that sounds a like it came straight out of the "Hail Mary"

Honestly Bruce just say "He was graceful", unless you're invoking a deliberately religious comparison about your kid, which would be weird, even for you.

I mean, the narrator sometimes made similar comments themselves...

All of those are independent sentences. They may or may not be related. The look bit could be unrelated to both smart and graceful (ie: he’s making a purely physically aesthetic observation), or all three comments could be tied. I don’t think the mention of how she looks is necessarily tied to the gracefulness and only the gracefulness. And if any of the other interpretations are legitimate, if he’s saying Mia’s smarts also resemble Dick’s, or if he’s using “looks” to generalize the many similarities he may have noticed, then we start delving into more of my yapping nonsense.
