Tim never did forgive Jason. We got a universe reboot and magical always Red Robin status quo.
When did this happen?
This isnt really strange tho, Tim idolized Jason.
I dont think Tim being ready to give up being Robin was the issue, just Damian never having earned it. Tim placed a great importance on being Robin. By Damians own admision being Robin was just a stepping stone.
While you can think thats not a big deal, some people value some symbols, and theyll hate you for tearing them down. Nowadays Robin is the annoying brat nobody wants to work with. Everything Tim worked for simply got tore down to accomodate entitlement.
I dont think Tim would have had a problem if Dicks Robin was a good kid.
A disguise to help troubled kids feel better about themselves? thats pretty lame, but could be interpreted that way.
Now i think Damian earned it later down the line, it is as we know, a redemption story. But that doesnt change the fact that things happened.
And even now that we arent sure what the hell happened, the status quo from the past continuity is so strong that their dynamic is the same even when it makes no sense for it to be.
