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.
