Well it mainly is because Batman is Bruce and his heir is Dick, like it or not he's Bruce's first son and a damn good hero. While he may lack many of the qualities of the over controlling qualities of Bruce Wayne, Dick has proven time and time again that he is just as good as his "father".

Besides I like the idea of the silver age sidekicks growing up and becoming the heroes they backup, Dick, Wally and Donna becoming the big names of the DCU.
