If I'm pressed, in this verse, the ones who tend towards aro are Jason and Tim. (Because I may or may not write the Jon Kent pining fic in this verse that ends with Damian being all 'we've been common law married for the last two years' when there is a confession. And I love the idea of Bruce and Selina's are crazy about each other, but use the chase/capture thing as their means for satisfaction and are unintersted in the actual sex.) Of course, the ace fics I've written in this fandom are almost completely for the laughs.
Being completely honest though, (and we're veering dangerously close to the Discourse here which I normally avoid at all cost), I find the insistence to specify between ace/aro really alienating. I get that people like to have something that defines them more specifically and if it's helpful for you, 100% go for it, but it's not particularly helpful for me. I've always preferred the more umbrella turn because, for me, the whole point was that I wasn't alone. So, it's not perfect, but I lump the whole ace/aro thing into 'ace spectrum' and call it a day. It tends to bleed into my writing. :/
I'm completely up for reading Dick as aro, but he's never really pinged me that way in the stuff I have read (while some of the other Batfam members absolutely have), but like I said, I haven't read much Nightwing (I haven't even read an arc with Kori). God knows everyone writes everyone differently so I may have just not read the right stuff.
