Am I mis-remembering or didn't the Gotham Knights team cite the Red Robin solo as one of their influences for their take on Tim?
DC: Dick Grayson, Wally West, Donna Troy, Yara Flor, Titans

I’ll be blunt - the Red Robin solo is the only good attempt to actually “graduate” the character, because it knows what to preserve from the character’s earliest versions, how to make him clever without being annoying, and play humor well (especially around female characters.)
And yes, I love Nicieza’s run better personally, but I would actually argue that Yost’s run is more “balanced” for fans of OG Tim.
Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP

Man, I love Tim Drake. I'd love him even more if DC wouldn't name him after a burger restaurant this time. Boy, is Red Robin delicious.
I spent all of the time reading Robin Eternal #2 wanting for Tim to take a shower.

Robin eternal I felt, understood Tim’s voice. It was just that 2 issues don’t do much.
At least now we know where this story fits in FS.
After reading yours opinions on FS Robin Eternal I decided to give it a chance.
Although I don't care about hypothetical future stories, this is a good one.
You are right, they finally got Tim's voice! The underdog who cares abaout all his allies (Steph and Darcy), the relationship with Bruce and the other Robins.
And most of all no sign of the "I know everything, i'm the most clever guy in the universe".
