Still, with the possible exception of FIRE BIRDS, weren't they all name-above-the-title projects for TLJ? I'd certainly consider him a co-lead with all-around second billing.

Not in every case. In Batman Forever he's superceded by Nicole Kidman and Jim Carrey. Leaving that aside, considering him a co-lead in all the movies essentially proves the point. It says Hollywood thinks of him as an ally or foil for the lead, but the not the lead himself.
