Now with the current "Reboot" of the continuity of the DC universe, one thing that we know is going on is that Batman is coming back to the Justice League of America, but as we seen in the recent issues of the Justice League before the reboot was the Tactical Leadership of Dick Grayson. Dick is notorious for have better people skills than Bruce Wayne ever had or ever will have in a lifetime. 
 
  Batman:

• Billions of dollars
• Master of stealth and martial arts
• gadgets galore.
• master detective
  

• Broods
• Does not work well with others
• Slight case of paranoia.
• Emotionally shut out.

• Tactical Leader
• master detective
• master of stealth and martial arts

•  Uses his emotions
• tries hard to be his own man.
• bit of a man-whore.

By this point, Nightwing would be a better JL leader. In fact, in OYL, Batman went and asked him first, whereupon he refused. He's the linchpin of the DCU, and if it weren't abound brand name, he would be the Justice Leaguer while Batman was focused on the Outsiders.

@Trodorne: Em did you just say Superman isnt smart? SMH anyway after the new 52 batman will FORM the JLA its the first time they have met

 Eh... Are you sure? There has been a great deal of misinformation on this site in regards to the DCnU (ex. Tim Drake never having been Robin, which is false)

I would've liked to see Nightwing appear in JLI.

You ever noticed that everytime Grayson joins a team the number of female team members goes up?
Back to topic: Dick would make a better leader but he is probably not iconic enough to lead the league as Nightwing. 

Batman's role in the League is a bit superfluous. That's what the animated series did so well. If an issue was big enough, Batman would show up and prove to the rest of the League that he made them redundant. On a day to day basis, he has no reason to be there. Dick, on the other hand, represents the human element like Bruce, but in a way that's more suited to an everyday team dynamic.

and its true not everyone likes working with batman. this is case in point:

As nice as that thought is, it seems Batman is running that too by the cover of it.

I just want to see him on a team that's not named Titans

If Batman served an Oracle-esque roll in the JLA and guided the team via satellite comms, I'm sure Dick can work effectively under his watch as a field leader. It even plants the seeds for the type of working relationship he'll have for Terry McGinnis in the future.

Nightwing:
Good

• Tactical Leader

• master detective

• master of stealth and martial arts

Bad

• Uses his emotions

• tries hard to be his own man.

• bit of a man-whore.

The first two things in "bad" are good.

@Gambit1024: Viners are saying that if they're both on the team Nightwing's role is limited because Batman apparently does everything better, to which I argue why the fk is Huntress on the roster then? or Roy AND Ollie. As Robin it wasn't any different, he tagged alongside Bats and Supes in Superfriends and Worlds Finest, people ate it up. How is he inadequate when he represents the future of heroism, noone would argue his presence. He'd make sure the JLA never split, and if they did Dick would use everything in his power to keep the team alive and bring in others.

Not to mention he's not overshadowed.
