With all characters, the interesting-ness of them is where they go against character because it makes you wonder why and opens up the layers. If all characters were predictable - fiction would be boring. I wrote a short piece for a class that had a man with terrible teeth and bad breath but immaculately manicured fingernails. I didn't even notice it, that was just him in my mind. The class called me on it saying I had not kept the character true but our professor defended it with the points above. That was the best class I ever took - studying writing has added so much depth to my enjoyment of types of storytelling.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

Well, doesn't that depend upon which timeline you read?
Comics canon makes my head go all hurty.

This would have been a great defence for Christ Carter: "Hey! Compared to comics, we're almost coherent."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Uh-huh. Who brought this up first (albeit my comparison was to the animated Robin I)?? Huh? Say my name!
Feh. Animated (moreTimthanDick) Robin remains unWeslike, but Nightwing's AWFULLY scruffy at the moment. IJS.
Comics canon makes my head go all hurty.
Yeah, my brain manages to make it through Pre/Post Crisis, but after that, it's all a mess.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Well, doesn't that depend upon which timeline you read? I mean, back in the original day, he was taken in and became Robin from day one.
I'm always Post-Crisis, unless specifically stated. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
but Nightwing's AWFULLY scruffy at the moment. IJS.
Heh. You reading "Outsiders" at the moment? You should.

Fine, fine. I'll add it to the crack bag.
Shit, this is worse than cigarettes in terms of cost.

Nightwing as field leader. Arsenel as (at the moment slightly wounded) "business manager." Huntress shutting Grayson down by telling him, "It just pisses you off that you want to do me."
And Black Lightning proving why he is SO much cooler than most of what's come after him.
You'll love it.
