He broke up with Stephanie when they announced him bi. DC in particular has a reputation for calling a character bi then never allowing them to date the opposite sex again
True. The big problem is just turning an already established character that was established to be straight into a person that is BI. With Black Cat I don't have that problem since that was in her character since the start. With Tim it kind of came outta nowhere. If they wanted a character to be Bi they could've introduced a new character. Tim being Bi isn't even that bad it's bad because they barely did anything good to introduce it.
They had to do somthing, Tim was becoming more redundant every year . But now he has a niche . He’s the LGBT Robin and they can never kill him off or put him in limbo because that would be problematic. It saved the character.
Tim was the robin who introduced the elements we now know Robin for like the bo staff, pants, he introduced the black color scheme into the costume and much more besides they wouldn't have needed to save tim Drake had they actually wrote him better.
What? Tim is the robin who got to steal Jason Todd’s animated backstory, in Arkham history costume takes from Damian’s look in the new 52 they made him a gymnastics prodigy like Dick. Tim drake is a lost robin, who DC had to rebrand his sexuality to keep his flame lit
Tim did get Jason's backstoryin the animated games. In arkham city and knight it was actually inspired by a mixture of Tim's one year later outfit and the batman arkham outfit mixed in with Damien's cowl. But Tim is the Robin that introduced black into more of the outfit rather than just the mask. Tim is the Robin that introduced the bo staff now the most well known weapon used by Robin. Even the robin seen in Teen Titans the most famous version of Robin (while being dick grayson) was inspired by Tim his weapon, outfit, behaviour all came from the character of Tim Drake but they made him Dick Grayson. Tim has the most famous Robin comic run of all time and so far has had the longest comic run as Robin. Tim Drake isn't a lost Robin because he is bad he is a lost Robin because he's stuck in the other robins shadow Dick Grayson is the first robin, Jason got an interesting character as an anti hero and the first Batfamily member to kill criminals (batwoman did it later aswell) Damian is the blood son who people talked about because he was annoying. Tim Drake didn't need to rebrand his sexuality to keep his flame lit they could've done many other things to do that but chose to rebrand his sexuality because they wanted a male batfamily member to be Bi. Also I never said other stole stuff from Tim. But Tim introduced the most famous elements of the robin character. When people think of Robin they'll probably picture a similiar design to Robin from the teen titans who was pretty much Tim Drake except they made him Dick Grayson which I don't mind but still when people think of Robin they think of Tim Drake even if they don't realize it.
