Oh look, a big TimxBernard issue! Came too late to save the book though, especially with art that seems more in-line with the kind of audience this book was aiming for.

Again she keeps acting like they were super good friends when they weren't and making up history that never existed which we never saw. Like when has Tim always been been his 'good luck charm' or demonstrated a dynamic showing this or when has he always viewed Tim as specia; or shown that to be the case through their dynamic.

Also Bernard feels like a huge mary sue. He's good in physics and biology and a good chef as well. He's too perfect. Again in his original appearance he was never shown to be a good student and it was implied he wasn't.

Yeah, that art is much better.

Hmm, are Bernard's parents homophobic? I don't think they liked him calling Tim his boyfriend.

Bernard’s parents are evil I’m convinced only question is if it’s conventional evil or Gotham evil.

It's true though. We keep getting sold a history that never existed.

[Drako]

This is the type of art they should started the book with from the get-go.

Telling is hardly ever as good as showing, but didn't think this incarnation of the DC Universe had fleshed out that part of their lives yet?

Tim's history is more or less restored to pre-flashpoint with Bernard yet she keeps framing him like he was Tim's best friend or they were super close when they weren't/he wasn't.

Oh good they're in college
Double major is for college right?

Guess this's the "or less" part. Heck, retcons like this do happen in comics often on (consider Gwen Stacy's characterization in the Spider-Man comics after her death; completely different character, even going beyond how we tend to idealize deceased loved ones).

I think Gotham evil, I would not be surprised that the real rift between Bernard and his parents is that he doesn't want to join the family business and do what is needed to keep the family successful, something drove him to join that cult.

In this case Fitzmartin is trying to use it to meta explain the foundations of their relationship.....but there is nothing there.
