“Alright,” Jason called out, hurrying to match Dick’s pace, “It’ll be nice to have another perspective on the place. Like, why’s everything named Bat-something? That your fault?”
“My fault?” Dick’s smile looked a tiny bit more genuine as he spun towards Jason, “Is that what the old man is telling you? Please, I’d never be so lame. Bruce is the idiot that decided to call himself Batman, and named everything in here to match. You know what he originally wanted to call me? Batkid.”

I find it pretty funny that the Dick being Renegade thing has taken such a life in the fanfics as the thing (tm) where Dick went rogue and is used most of the time as the costume Dick would use in an AU where he is an actual mercenary but when you actually read it, it's kinda... half-assed ?
And I don't mean that in a bad way but Renegade!Dick says he is a mercenary but is still acting as a hero, he is just both in extreme denial about it because he doesn't like himself very much at that moment and doesn't think he deserves to be called a hero while training Rose to be a hero at the same time ?
It's his mental breakdown outfit, his "I cut my own bangs" if you will.
Also, it's not an apprentice arc...he is being the mentor there, it's Rose doing an internship with Dick in what both her and Slade think is a mercenary job but is actually a superhero job.

What if Dick could cycle through identities.
Dick Grayson has more identities than there are colors in the rainbow.
There’s Dickie Grayson - school favorite, basketball star, and mathlete. Best friend of the Titans and beloved love of many. Also a wonderful brother, devoted son, and dear grandson.
There’s Richie Grayson - darling of high society. Women swoon over him, men appreciate him (ie Roy’s “pretty bird”), and as a gothamite aptly put it, “who wouldn’t recognize Gotham’s very own Paris Hilton”.
There’s Ric Grayson - cold, night thrill seeking civilian with more trust issues than money in a trust fund.
There’s Nightwing - according to Supes, “your words are worth their weight in gold”. According to Bruce, “sometimes I feel he’s the only thing I did right”. According to Hawkman, “the one person the entire superhero community trusts after Superman”. And so much more. Strong enough to defeat Ra’s Al Ghul in a sword fight and be given the name “Detective”. Beloved hero and the pride and joy of the superhero community
There’s Agent 37 - An international, multilingual super spy who broke his partner’s hardened interior while rigorously maintaining his morals in the face of adversity. So handsome that while a psychotic murderer was chasing him and his partner, he reached up, switched off the spiral, and was so beautiful that the stunned woman went, “woof”, lost control of her bike and crashed.
There’s Renegade - Deathstroke’s apprentice who was carefully trained by him until he tricked the man and freed himself. Taught Deathstroke’s daughter Rose to be a hero and was punished by his nemesis through the Chemo bombing of Bludhaven. Yet Deathstroke still hugs him and says “Nice to see you again, kid. You look well” and leaves messages on his fogged bathroom mirror, “message received”, and waits in Dick’s bedroom while he’s dressing to let him know why he’s in the city.
There’s Crutches - mob enforcer for Black Mask and took down his crime syndicate from the inside out.
There’s Talon - His grandfather’s legacy of being an undead assassin for the court. The Gray Son of Gotham.
Finally there’s Robin - the 8-18yr old who went on joy rides with Superman, said “Holy ___ Batman!”, the one who was astounded when He asked if he would join the Justice league and Batman said, “no, you’ll be leading them”. The one who was driving batmobiles at 8 and singing songs to comfort victims that still remember him and his warmth 20 years later. The acrobatic prodigy that left the country in wonder. The first sidekick and role model for many young heroes that came after him.
He has many more identities I couldn’t name but - imagine if Dick could change these personalities in a heartbeat. One second he’s peppy and overjoyed Robin and the next he’s flippant and dismissive Ric Grayson. Oh the possibilities
I don’t remember where this quote’s from but: the man has a temper that could start wars. And a smile that could end them.
