Part of me actually wants to ask people who see the Catalina/Dick thing on the rooftop as "hot" or "kinky" to explain their position in greater detail, because Catalina herself clearly doesn't think she's doing anything wrong, and they're the closest I'm likely to get to a peek inside her mind and motivations. The rest of me, of course, wants to throw the puta off the roof and take Dick home to Alfred and Bruce.
As for Dick pushing her away... do you mean like the way things turned out with him and Helena?
I think Dick is going to have to come to his senses about her lack of a consistent moral center, but that it's going to take him time, because her behaviour towards him, even when he can see it unambiguously as wrong, has almost always been well-intentioned, particularly towards Dick himself. He has a hard time separating that sort of thing from people's other actions.
Now the people who have wound up being Dick's quasi-sidekicks in Bludhaven (the Titans aside) ...I'd love to read some nice meaty meta about that. You seem to have some ideas yourself.
