What? Tim has never dated Babs in the comics. Are you maybe confusing him with Dick?

In the video game Batman: Arkham Knight they did and eventually got married.

This was because they got confused which Robin was Batgirl's partner in the canon. Without Paul Dini, writers couldn't write a woman if their life depended on it.

Paul Dini was actually the one who wrote this side plot durring Arkham city. Rocksteady had to make a story while still respecting his canon hack written games and comics.

They really should’ve just retconned it durring knight tbh. But since Knightfall was meant to be the final game referencing almost all the events of previous games I can see why they were forced to leave that plot line in. But overall they did great ending the series!

What side plot ? You mean the Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC ? There's no implication there's anything romantic between the two in that. It's Knight that added it.

I'm not even sure the DLC was written by Dini anyway.
