Tim Drake: Robin, Red Robin, Drake Appreciation 2021

[CPSparkles]

Dead. Bernard called him Tim Wayne



Different artist. It's not Belen Ortega.

With his current age the tome and events that resulted in him taking that name never happened. So either the writer doesn't know much about Tim or we don't know much about tim's past.

The name Tim Wayne wasn't because he was adopted [Jason and Dick didn't change their ;last name] the name change was due to the events that happened in RR which no longer happened.

[CPSparkles]

Probably he will play some role, he was on cover.

He wasn't on the cover

[CPSparkles]

Is this a flashback? Tim looks so young in these panels.

He looks Young, he looks Brown and his boyfriend looks like his Girl friend. Tim showing why he is the everyman any reader can relate to.

[AmiMizuno]

It makes me wonder if he still misses Steph. That or he has a thing for blonds.

Jason and Dick were never adopted in pre-Crisis continuity, that's why they didn't change their names. They were just wards. It would've been a bit odd to suddenly change their names later (especially Dick, who'd been published for over 40 years by that point). Tim was referred to as Tim Wayne as early as One Year Later, some time before he became Red Robin, it came up when he went back to school. His father Jack Drake was killed just before that timeskip.

Are you sure Jason wasn't adopted pre-crisis? It's heavily implied in Detective Comics #526 that he is (actually, Dick was the first who wanted to adopt him. That could have been interesting).

It's a bit strange for Tim to go by Tim Wayne, as he had a functioning family, and especially since all his other adoptive brothers kept their last names.
I see him using the Wayne name only when he wants to use the Wayne connections.

Yes they were. Jason was the very 1st one to be adopted of all the the bat kid. He was adopted even before Tim. Dick was a ward but Bruce adopted him later as a n adult in Nightwing. even in Rebirth when Jason became a foster kid and Tim became a ward. Tick was still adopted

Tim said specifically that he only took on the Wayne name because of the events with Ra's in RR so that the people at WE would accept him.

Jason and Dick were adopted and Tim saod he was only using the Wayne name for the business reasons.

It is odd that out of all of them Tim would use the Wayne name. Jason I can see reasons for him using it but not Tim.

Bruce's words when he adopted Dick makes me want to see his reaction to tim rejecting his father's name. That's not something that Bruce would stand for going by his dialogue and reasons for waiting to adopt Dick. He didn't want to replace John.

he seems to like blonds

IIRC Bruce formally adopted after Jason was taken away by some social worker and was than taken in by Nocturna, so that something like that could never happen again.

That was also conformed in the Donny Troy Wedding issue of Teen titans iirc.

From what I remember Dick was adopted in the early 2000s, Tim adopted a little bit later around OYL and the last was Cass around Batman RIP.

[Digifiend]

Yeah, Jack Drake and Captain Boomerang killed each other, and wanting to avoid the adoption, Tim then hired an actor to pretend to be his uncle. When Bludhaven was nuked by Chemo, both the fake uncle and Tim's mentally ill stepmother died. That's when the OYL timeskip happened, after which Tim had finally been adopted.

[CPSparkles]

Was Bludhaven still nuked? Pretty sure Nightwing Rebirth contradicts that.
This is why DC needs to sort out what's canon and what isn't . The everything is canon doesn't work.

I believe that tim was still adopted but I don't know when and how or what in his history was dumped to make him still being a minor possible.

No, the original Bludhaven story was cut off right before the final Blockbuster arc

In the original Dick quit the BPD because his activity as Nightwing was discovered by his superior. Right after that, Blockbuster discovered that Nightwing accidentally caused his mother's hospital visit to be delayed and led to her death, which started his vendetta on Nightwing and discovering his identity, torching the apartment and Haley's Circus. The arc ended up with Blockbuster's death by Tarantula, after which Dick left Bludhaven and Tim filling in.

That all no longer happened. This time Dick quit BPD because there are too many criminals in the force. Nothing on Blockbuster's mother and he doesn't seem to have discovered his identity. The apartment is intact and Haley's Circus was instead torched by The Joker during Death of The Family. Dick did buy the apartment like in the original, but that's all we know. It is unknown what made Dick left Bludhaven before Infinite Crisis this time and in what condition.

After that Red Hood attacked in Gotham, but Bludhaven wasn't Chemo'd, then Conner died, and then Damian arrives. After that everything went as close as possible to what happened before.

[Digifiend]

Bear in mind that as originally published, Dick had already left Bludhaven some time before Chemo's attack. Tim and Cass were the resident heroes at the time instead. That's the time period when the fake uncle ruse was in play - so maybe Tim never did that, and his stepmother was deemed medically unfit to take care of him (as she was being treated for mental illness after the trauma of Jack's death) so Bruce was allowed to adopt Tim at that point?

I’m still confused he had both parents in Batman and Robin eternal where did they go?
