Tim Drake: Robin, Red Robin, Appreciation 2022

[Rufio]

Thanks. Here's the relevant quote:

"I’m taking a break from social media lately but I pop in today to bring you this #sneakpeak of my favorite pretty boys (something exciting is coming up)"

Sweet, thanks! I wonder what this exciting thing is. I guess we shall see if it is actually exciting. I’m curious to see if Tim has a big role in it.

I suppose it’s for the best (unless it isn’t). My hope is for some good stories to come from these characters… although I try not to hope too much because that’s how you get disappointed. lol I can take Bernard or leave him, but I admit that I would be a little disappointed if he just disappeared once the story was done.

He apparently took some time off to learn some plot endorsed martial arts, so I kinda wonder if that’ll factor into anything.

Does anyone know if that’s a cover? I know Superboy is on there too.

It's just hard for me to get invested in Bernard as a character, but I guess they have to push him with Tim now.

They could always break up later.

Ah, yes, I think I see. He kinda just came outta nowhere. Hopefully it doesn’t feel like either of them are just slapped in there to fill X space.

I just hope that the stories we get of Tim aren’t centered around Bernard. Like yes, there’s a relationship there, but what else is going on in Tim’s life? How that vigilante thing going? I really want to see Tim get a new code name and grow up. He doesn’t have to be YEARS older, but the boy should be college age at this point.

Tim seems to have enough fans to hold a solo if they want but the writers seem to just want him to be Robin

If they could get someone like Taylor or Chip to write it, I think it would do right.

I don't mind Bernard, but I just fear he'll be given plot armour on account of his sexuality, just like Jon's boyfriend.

I have been keeping up with Jon a full 0% and that sounds terrible. Nah, nah, I want good stories and good character interaction.

Problem is, what would they call a solo book? Can't call it Robin as Damian already has a book with that title.

The Adventures of Tim Drake!

This is why if they go the suggested PI route, we got a great running title of DRAKE: PI. Or even… just Drake.

lol

Detective Drake

How about Drake Investigations?...

I'd be up for him joining the Pattinson-verse. I thought John Blake from Rises felt like an older version of him so I'd be up for him popping up as a sympathetic cop who becomes an informant for Batman.

His actor from Titans pops up as an extra during the Jokerz beatdown in the first trailer. So that's another angle you could start from but that could fit Jason more.

YES! Give whoever thought of the private eye thing a cookie. They deserve it.

That would be cool, maybe it would influence comic canon somewhat.

Yeah, that does sound more Jason-esque. But it would be nice to have something hero business going on with Tim.

I coined the Drake Investigations name on the spot. But Tim as a PI is a common fandom pitch. If anything you could go the Peter David X-factor route and have him start a business with his friends. Joseph Gordon Levitt played a teenage detective in Brick so it all comes together.

Tim becoming a cop is also common.
