Tim Drake: Robin, Red Robin Appreciation 2019

[Restingvoice]

The new YJ isn't mentioned.

I welcome an age up to go with Tim's new name and mantle.

No, but the old one does
G3 Y4 - Knightfall - Tim Drake debuts as Robin - Death of Superman - Reign of Supermen
G3 Y5 - Bart Allen debuts as Impulse - I actually only can see the Impulse part and just counted the words if they match but come on what else could it be
G3 Y7 - Cassie Sandsmarks debuts
G3 Y8 - Young Justice debuts
G3 Y9 - Teen Titans - I can't read who's in it but it has to be Tim's gen
G3 Y11 - Infinite Crisis - Superboy dies
G3 Y14 - Damian debuts - Tim debuts as Red Robin

Then in Generation 4 Year 2, Tim returns to lead Teen Titans. This is the New 52 version.

It's like a pendulum: first, they get the timeline too short (N52's “it's only been five years since the age of Superheroes began”); and now they have it too long (if Tim was 13 when he debuted, he'd be 23 when Damian debuted, and almost 30 now).

That's why it is pretty likely Tim will be de-aged before Gen 4 (courtesy of Flashpoint).

I suspect Flashpoint will still change reality, since events in New52 Teen Titans contradict events of previous Tim 's Teen Titans.

Or maybe Tim's Teen Titan in Gen 4 is pretty different from New 52 Teen Titans.

A timeline where people “used to be older than they are now” is not one that I can take seriously.

For this timeline thing to work, EVERYBODY gets deaged or resurrected at some point. Or the timeline is supposed to represent what would/should've happened if time flowed normally. Events themselves may have been retconned.

Ya, I'm inclined to agree

Speaking of age, how old was Tim when he
Saw Flying Grayson's performance and met Dick? 3?
Started stalking Bruce and Dick?
Became Robin? 13?
Became Robin in BTAS?
Met Stephanie Brown?
Formed Young Justice?
Debut in Young Justice Season 2?
Joined Teen Titans?
Lost his father, Kon, and Bart, since that happened in pretty quick succession?
Became Red Robin? 17?

I don't know about the TV series continuities. Flying Graysons: 3. Stalking Bruce and Dick: 5 or 6. Robin: 13. Met Stephanie: probably 15. Formed YJ: also 15. No Man's Land: 15 to 16 (it was roughly a year long). Joined Teen Titans: 16. War Games, Identity Crisis, Infinite Crisis: 16. Lost Bart: 17 (it was after “One Year Later”). Became Red Robin: 18. Yes, by then he was a legal adult.

While he should have been 18 when Red Robin kicked off. I'm pretty sure it was implied he was just under it(still 17), I'd have to go look back to be sure.

Thank you very much.
What about the "emancipated minor" thing when he became Wayne CEO? I think I heard it mentioned in Red Robin. That's what makes me think he's 17.

That's exactly what I was thinking of

The more I see Tim's new suit the more N52 it feels. But I also did like a lot of the N52 designs so I'm fine with it.

[Darkspellmaster]

What's the new suit look like? Also wasnt he going to be called the drake or something like that?

It's the same one that has been posted. We'll know for sure about the name soon.
