How was he in control?
ToT Tim was successful in his Dictatorship Rebirth Tec Future Tim wasn't and he more important he wasn't a reliable narrator.
rebirth Tec Tim was far too stupid really. I don't subscribe to the whole Tim is a wonder kid HC because he wasn't but he was smarter than future Tim shown in Tec
Tim doesn't want to be Batman and I don't think he has the aptitude for it. He doesn't have a good record when it comes to the cowl. Always ends in failure
For Damian I like what we saw in BB. Inherits the cowl then passes it to Terry to take over the LOa and change it into something good or a peaceful civilian life
So Challenge of the Supersons # 5 released
spoilers:end of spoilers
Just set up for the time travel with Aurora to save Hawkgirl. So any news what's Damian's role on Infinite Frontier?
Dick works well as Batman, and Morrison planned him to be Batman for 5 years more (with Robin Damian of course) but it was protested by editorial and Batman fans. Such unfortunate, because if I had to choose between Morrison's B&R and Tomasi's B&R, I will choose Morrison's B&R in heartbeat
I, and probably every other Robins fans except some of Dick's fans, will never ever re-read Battle for The Cowl, but from my understanding Tim (temporary) wore Batman's cowl to push Dick to take it? I agree that most likely Tim doesn't want to be Batman, even on Titans of Tomorrow, Tim became Batman because other candidates are unavailable (thanks to some very shitty reasons, Dick left the family to get married and live happily ever after? Jason get crippled and depressed? Whatever Hitler incarnate enters Damian's body? I mean, the future setting was already on apocalypse condition, why not just make them already drop dead?).
Anyway, I don't know if he ever wants be Batman, but personally I don't want either of 4 main Robin take Batman's cowl. Their characters are too unique to be just as Bruce's replacement (DickBats is special case because I enjoyed Reverse Dynamic Duo so much).
And still just one mention of Damian in Future State, and that's it. It's really weird, to be honest, even if they just did not have time to come up with a plot for him.
Yes, that's the only mention I've seen so far. Really disappointing, to be honest. I'm also hoping he is just dead and that's it, but I want to know why, you know?
And it's just frustrating, because we don't know why they are keeping so much secret about it. On one hand, it might just be a case of sloppiness, but on the other it might be something else, I just have no idea what.
when you consider the explanation for Damian the current Robin missing from BRE and the explanation for Damian missing from New 52 Batman then remember that Future State was over seen by the same people then I wouldn't hold my breathe on the explanation being very good.
My bet is he was going to be evil and dead [judging by the way he's story was heading and that baby Hitler line] until the fan backlash re TT and plans relating to Robin changed.
Future tim wasn't in control of anything. He wasn't in control of Gotham, he wasn't in control of getting rid of Damian and he wasn't in control of his plans to kill people from the future. Tynion messed up trying to graft ToT on to what looked like 666.
Tim was never in control since that world had 2 Batmen always. Tim's attempts to get rid of Damian failed as we saw so Tim was never solo Batman.
ToT Tim was ran a successful Fascist regime but due to Tec I don't know if that world even is still a thing.
