In this episode of The Arkham Sessions, we revisit the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson.

Dick may be on to something--Bruce appears to be closed off when it comes to the expression of his emotions. In fact, he may have deficits in the area of emotional intelligence, which is one's ability to perceive, understand, and manage emotions.
