Eh
Despite what everyone said in the other thread, I'm still not sure if the character himself wants to be Robin again, regardless of what he feels about the demon brat, or is it just the 90s fans-writers projecting.
In the Rebirth timeline, it's been 3 years since then, and there's no significant difference between Robin and Red Robin's role. They're both Batman's support, Titans leader, and don't come home to the Manor much. So Tim going back to Robin for me is... just like what both him and Damian do usually.

Both of which could be references to his real name and not his codename.
After Jack. Tim hired an actor to pretend to be his uncle, but both he and his stepmother (who was in a mental hospital because of her reaction to Jack's murder) were killed when Bludhaven was destroyed. Bruce adopted Tim after that.

it's also a bit early, the issue Damian quit just came out last week. Might be a few issues before Tim reclaims the mantle.

Jason 100% was referring to Tim as Drake because of his new persona, not his surname. Which makes this page feel absolutely stupid, unless Jason was messing with him.
Tim calling Red Hood "Jason" makes it clear he thought Jason was using his civilian name.

Hard to say, I do think it is a step backwards for him since his time as Drake and Red Robin was to try to establish his own identity but then again a big part of who the character is being Robin for Batman when he needs a Robin. I can live with it but I think he needs to grow out of the role.
"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
Words to live by.
When members of the Batfamily call him Drake is kinda confusing if they are messing with him or not.
I got a feeling they read tomorrow's issue, which will probably confirm Tim being robin again. Rich also did a article on stephanie being robin in this continuity today, which probably comes from tomorrows issue.
And honestly, all future Tim apparences show him in the robin costume. There is no way he keeps using that costume and still goes by Drake as his hero alias. It makes no sense.
