It isn\'t that Arsenal never did stupid things, but at least he actually has a legitimate reason for being off balance, having PTSD from being kidnapped, experimented on, and waking up without an arm after nobody bothered to look for him. Pretty much everyone but Aqualad, Red Robin, and Robin 1 before becoming Nightwing regularly juggled the idiot ball in this series, without the excuse of being traumatized. Hell, season 1, and most of the people who were hurt and killed, was caused by a whole lot of lying, BSing, and ego stroking that could have easily been avoided. I\'m not trying to start an Arsenal fanclub here, but throughout the entire show, everyone I didn\'t mention regularly did stupid shit that retarded the plot, for no reason other than the plot required them to be stupid. Connor making deals with Lex Flippin Luthor in between emo rages and constantly charging off into battle at the worst of times, endangering the team, Artemis so concerned about her lineage being discovered that she lets criminals get away (and honestly, Batman probably already knew), Megaan being an annoying brat in general, and SuetifulAllAlong as she\'s really a White Martian, but not an evil one. I\'m sure that if we went episode by episode, we could find plenty of instances where someone being a dumbass was the primary cause for one of the episodes. How is Connor or Kid Flash or Megaan being an unthinking hothead for no reason in multiple episodes OK, but Arsenal somehow becomes a scrappy for it after just one or two?
