Have any of the people involved in that decision explained what they were thinking?
What about a scenario where Tim puts down the vigilante tights for a bit to go to college and try to do the civilian thing. But people in the super community keep coming to him with mysteries and asking for sleuthing help. At first it's just friends from his generation, but he develops a reputation and suddenly people like Plastic Man and Shazam show up with their sci-fi magical locked room murders. They don't know he's Tim or RR, they just know him as The Consultant.
Design-wise, his "costume" would be either a full face mask with a strong design (V for Vendetta, Japanese festival masks, Court of Owls, etc.), or a big scarf that covers his lower face, and the rest is regular clothes, whatever he's wearing that day. A casual but striking look. Supporting cast would be Steph, his parents, and new characters he meets at school. Rotating roster of guest characters, heroes and villains. There's also an ongoing mystery at his university, like a grown up Gotham Academy.
