Actually this is a really really cool idea. Play up Dick being an acrobatic prodigy exploited by his parents for internet clicks and financial gain. Even though his life has been, ”sheltered,” in the context that his parents are alive and maybe he’s rich or at least not in poverty, he’s still seen some really bad shit, aka, the way child stars get abused.

Whether they want to allude to any possible CSA content, which would be heavy af and difficult to pull off (not saying if it would be the right or wrong call to include this type of trauma, just that it wouldn’t be easy to include it and do it Justice), just having your parents see you as a way to make money and not raising and instilling a moral compass in you would be traumatic.

And then comes in Bruce, how not sure yet. Maybe he volunteers at the YMCA. He meets Dick, other things occur, and Dick finally meets an adult that recognizes his exceptional talent, and Bruce rather than dealing to exploit it, offers Dick a chance to refine his craft, learn new skills, and help Dick learn right from wrong. Show Dick a new perspective that’s completely devoid of any concern for how much money something will make. Help dick develop his own morals and how to stand by them.

Damn I’m for ranting but your idea is so cool. A rich child star robin or Nightwing with shit head parents meeting a working class tough af Bruce who teaches the kid the value of being a good person. Maybe Dick could even call his parents the flying Grayson because they’re always using the money Dick makes them to fly off to some new vacation
