If the books / bruce aren't focusing on him (seeing as he doesn't require special attention) he quietly fades to the back. However as it stands today with all 4 in the room its hard to argue that Tim would get the least attention. Sure there were times (long times, perhaps the best) when Tim had his moment to shine. While jason & tim are both middle children the fact that jason carved his own path and left Bruce with guilt (think of him as the child with drug dependency) he gets more attention and Tim gets lost in the shuffle. Dick - Eldest, Most respected, most responsibility.Ģ - Jason - Middle child, Bad boy, confrontational, has his own rulesģ - Tim - Middle child, the scholar, good one ,as good or better than dickĤ Damian - Youngest, actual blood, the baby of the family I was relating to the bat family as an actual family.ġ. I'm aware of all the bat families origins ( I may have taken a break but I did my homework) I never said he acted as if he was, I merely said it was his role in the family. There is nothing really special about him any more, in terms of his backstory and in his ability. I really do think that in the course of the Red Robin series he got his wits about himself and moved much more towards detective than nutcase.īut yeah, new 52, he's just another character. Can't really blame him, as when Bruce was "killed" it made him the THIRD parent that Drake lost. The events of Red Robin really did show that Drake was hitting a bit on the side of madness. I just can't support a character like that He probably loves Bruce more than he ever did his own father, the same can't be said for Grayson. I just can't support a character like said: Tim had a friggin meltdown and you instantly saw the difference in demeanor/maturity in those panels. When Superman broke the news to the batfamily Dick handled it in cool, collected fashion. Dick may be infatuated with Bruce but.Tim is obsessed with him, to the point where he almost sees him as a totem of worship. Deep down he could never expect Batman to go away, Ra's could drop a nuke on Bruce's dome and Tim will simply believe Batman's a ventriloquist and planned the entire event, boomtubed his way out of it or some such nonsense. EDITĪnd because this is exactly how i feel about Tim i will borrow(and with borrow i mean steal) the words of : I hated Drake since he became red robin his unhealthy obssesion with Bruce made me sick.īUT that is only me he has lots of fans. Because now he is a useless character, he is not Robin and there is no need for a second rate Nightwing.
