Tim Drake: Robin, Red Robin, Drake Appreciation 2020

So, I'm not totally sure, but the Robin in this preview for Batman 100 is Tim, right?

He has a bo staff, so is most likely him.

They even made fun of Tim not being around much in the Lego Batman movie. Tim really needs a strong writer. But who?

Kyle Higgins or Jeff Parker, those are the ones that come to mind.

I'm curious if Tim will actually get a important moment when he becomes robin or if it'll just be a joke scene where he gets tired of them making fun of the drake outfit.

Someone good at writing teenagers and they bring something new to that niche. What made his time as Robin work was he felt relatable to his audience so recapturing that angle would be ideal for him to work again. Its harder now because the new 52 dropped the everyman angle and made him solely red robin. It can be brought back but its gonna take some work.

I don't like him being deaged and being Robin again but it is what it is.

Hopefully since Tynion is running the show, Tim will get a good transition.

There's that Tim and Steph focused Young Justice issue coming up, I can see it happening there. Earth-3 Steph was the one who gave him the Drake costume, and Prime Earth Steph has already expressed her disapproval.

He's not being de-aged. In fact he was aged up in Robin 80th Anniversary. There was a story that was a prequel to Detective Comics Rebirth, in which Tim mentioned to Dick that he wasn't 20 yet. Originally in that series he was 16. Apparently not any more as he'd have probably said 18 instead of 20 if so. He's 18 or 19 now.

Well, Tim may be Red Robin again.

I mean, Tim was Red Robin at the start of Young Justice even although he has only one R (and solicitations promote him as Robin).

However, I think it is pretty likely Tim will be de-aged if he has the Robin identity again. They probably want a younger hero for that role.

He's never called himself Red Robin in Young Justice, has he? Bendis actually did drop the Red, hence the solicit text calling him just Robin.

In Issue 8 of Young Justice, Tim mentioned that he is Red Robin.

In fact, Tim never say directly that he was Robin in Young Justice. At most, he mentioned he was "one of them" when Jinny Hex called him as Robin.

Honestly i preferred him going to college than going back to high school so thats were i was coming from.

[TheCape]

If he really goes back to Robin, wich i doubt, the only positive thing that i can get out of this is that he would have a solo again. Because there hasn't been one since 2011.

That doesn't mean he's older, 16 is "not yet 20."

I think he will go back to Robin. Drake and Red Robin led to lot's of complaint's. Fans have been pestering Bendis on social media to make Tim Robin. It looks like we might be getting 3 Batgirls sharing the role so they might as well do the same with Robin.

I mean right now we have Damian, Jarro and Drake/RR [who is Robinish] That way no more fan complaints.
