I mean, I love Dick Grayson, and Dick Grayson as Batman, but there's really no need to have him be Batman while Bruce is. If Bruce took a different role, then sure
But having two Batmen patrol the same city and interact with the same people is confusing. I mean, in Power Girl Dick kept appearing as Batman and then as soon as Bruce was back he was the Batman that was in it.
Plus it was super confusing because artists would constantly draw the wrong costume

I always felt bad for Dick having to step into the shoes of Batman.

Perhaps you gents could enlighten me about something. I'm only peripherally aware of the whole DC universe. I see the various animated movies if they are on Netflix, read the occasional GN, but I don't keep, as it were. I'm only marginally better versed in the Marvel universe, so comaprisons aren't really what I'm after. Mostly what I want to know is, do the various titles reference one another to any degree? Aside from Justice League, (thats DC, right?) I mean. I think the only times I see two DC main people they are fighting one another, and yes, I know this is common. I just don't know the various relationships the charachters have with one another. Do Superman and Batman really have a hate on for one another, or is it just Batman being his normal paranoid self? And is Superman generally portrayed as that much of an idiot compared to Batman? Most of my memories of these things are the animated series both of them had years ago.
Batman and Superman generally tend to start out not liking each other, but growing into good friends and trusted allies. This is true for both the animated continuity and the comic one.
Superman and Batman are actually really good friends, there's a monthly comic that's just about them having adventures together (called Superman/Batman, appropriately). Superman's not an "idiot" compared to Batan, but Batman is the best detective on the planet, and Superman's a bit more naive and not anywhere near as clever. DC characters definitely pop up in each others' books, and things are referenced between books and stuff.
Also, Superman can afford to be extremely optimistic when he literally has the power to change the world in a big way. He just prefers to make this happen by setting a super good example to inspire others to follow.

I think it's a little easier to be optimistic about everything when you go to stop a bank robbery, and they shoot you a hundred times and the only thing you have to do is sew up your wardrobe. Batman gets shot a hundred times and poor Alfred will be performing major heart/brain/lung/apendix surgery that night. I could see how that may dour your mood a bit.

Superman is optimistic because he was raised to be a good person

Superman possessed super genius-level intelligence and an eidetic memory (average people from Krypton already had genius level intelligence—they learned calculus at ten or eleven years). These enhanced mental capabilities were a direct result of his exposure to a yellow sun. Superman also possessed the mental ability to screen out the enormous amount of information received by his enhanced senses and to focus on a single detail such as a particular voice or location.

His mental abilities were also curtailed to the point where intelligent humans, like geniuses Lex Luthor or Batman, could outsmart him.

I realize that cycling through villains and never sticking to deaths is technically the same thing, but it at least gives that illusion.

He's just a more optimistic and forgiving person (which could fall under Centipede Damascus's "naive" descriptor, but)
he's just an optimist where Batman is a pessimist
You know, like building robots and creating miniature stars on his forge.
and he's always talking weird and hunched over and why does he have gray skin?

Not because of his powers
and he doesn't really hate him in DKR, he just really disagrees with him.
That helps, too.
i hope this is why you are jailed
You're probably thinking of Igor.
he's talking about Superman's mixed-up twin, BIZARRO!
On a similar note, they should decide whether Zatanna says the entire sentence backwards or just the words for her spells.
Superman is straight As smart
Batman is skip several grades ahead smart
all the time
I don't know... Superman has been depicted as really smart, on par with heavy weights.
His intelligence is just geared towards different aptitudes.

his wife is hot and awesome.

There's that issue in No Man's Land when Superman pops in and tries to help people and Batman is like "wtf Clark, you ain't from where I'm from."
But that was in Infinite Crisis and Infinite Crisis sucked
Bizarro has a wife?
which was patently untrue since it was after he died that he wrestled that angel in JLA
they are talking about Paul Dini
Superman wrestled an angel?!?
