This is not only the reason why he constantly gets into near-death experiences (because the universe is trying to kill him to right itself), but also there’s an infinite number of realities killing him gruesomely in order to achieve this and maintain their universe’s integrity.

Dick is stuck in a perpetual loop of suffering across timelines because he was predesignated to do so to save it, like some kind of DC Jesus, and it is the silliest enforced kicking-while-down ever. By the decree of the goddamn multiverse, Dick cannot have a break.

Combine that with the following:

The left is Hal talking to Ollie about if he had a sidekick, where he says “Wally took that Kid Lantern name”. And the right is Ollie talking to Roy, calling him Robin (even though Roy was Speedy and is now Arsenal). Robin Hood is Oliver’s thing, so I could totally see him wanting a “Robin”.

It would be hilarious if every single hero sidekick name was chosen because the one the hero wanted was already taken, and so they took someone else’s name out of spite.

But what about memories that are more subtly altered? Things like thinking your shoes as a child were red when they were blue, or disliked foods. Something you wouldn’t question because it’s so mundane. Dick still should have those.
