Which goes to show that people tend to only pay attention what's popular/sells well. Steph's complicated relationship with her father always brought more to the table and elevated Cluemaster beyond being just a Riddler knock-off, and her having to fight for every scarp of acceptance she could get. Post-Flashpoint Steph is not quite as good of a character as pre-Flashpoint Steph because she was just accepted by Batman and everyone else immediately after Eternal and so didn't have that long struggle to prove herself, but she was never destroyed the way Tim was since the core of her relationship with Cluemaster was maintained and she was given good development in Eternal. Even making her a genius worked out surprisingly well because it's tied to her relationship with her father. In the 2000s, people who dismissed her probably didn't read any stories with her or if they did they only read War Games.
With Tim, he only continued to exist after Flashpoint because Didio thought he was still marketable, but he has had no place in the story or mythos and barely any relationships with caring about. He's a boring, perfect, less-brooding min-Bruce. Eve his relationship with Bruce is boring.
Can we save Tim ? What can we do?
Also does Steph have enough of her own story to let's say have her used on her own in an animated story
Not to derail the Stephanie Brown thread too much, but the fact is he is only boring right now because he has been handled so poorly. Put some good writers on him, and he can be brought back to his rightful place of prominence.
Of course, it's going to take more than just throwing on a gimmick. Something that brings him back to what made him great in the first place would be needed.

Rogue wears rouge.
Angel knows all the angles.
Tim as to play into his strenghts. He is a smart guy really good detective. Dick is a awesome fighter and wholesome guy, Todd has some demons and damian is child trained to be assassin redeemed by eing a Robin.
Stephanie is someone that tried to do the best, a true optimist.
Tim got lost since Flashpoint, I'm barely interested in the character now. Hope they have a really good fan for him
