NEWER IS ALWAYS BETTER!!! While the Escrima Sticks do have the slightest of range advantages over Bucky's Bionic arm, they lack lethality compared to Bucky's sheer strength in hand-to-hand. Dick can potentially utilize his Eskrima sticks as projectiles, but that gives the potential of losing his weapon in mid-combat. Bucky's iconic arm is an actual part of him as well, so he can use it to aid his style when utilizing his knives. On one hand, Dick Grayson is a better aim with his Wing-Dings than Bucky likely is with his throwing knives. On the other hand, the throwing knives are instantly more lethal, as well as having the potential to be better melee weapons. Although Dick has used his Wing-Dings as melee weapons, they're very much so improvised ones. It's essentially a wash.
 * Iconic: Bucky Barnes
