Interesting idea but I'd love that relationship!



I'm afraid if Tim comes out, he will become the 'LGBT/rainbow' Robin & that's it - thus, DC can say that there's queer male rep. in the Bat-fam.





Oh Bunker... Last year he appeared in a few RHATO issues, I was very happy.
I don't understand why he has been sidelined for a long time when it's obvious he's a powerhouse. I mean he's frigging capable of creating energy constructs similarly to the Green Lanterns.

There’s nothing wrong with Tim being the “rainbow” Robin as long as that’s not all they do with him. And there’s no reason that has to limit what they do with him.
As they struggle to find a relevant place for him as the middle child of the Robins, it could make him stand out a little more, give him a little media buzz.
No one is asking for tokenism. People who want a queer Tim want him to get strong story and characterization too.
