(I was going to post this in the Tim Drake megathread but felt like it was a valid enough point to warrant its own topic)
Red Robin is a terrible name, but Tim Drake is a great character. Oracle is a great name. Tim Drake's strongest attribute has been "computers!detective" since inception. That fits what Oracle's about.
Seems like an easy solve, right?
Tim Drake should fill the Oracle hole in the Bat-Universe, which is now more necessary than ever with more active sidekicks/allies than ever. It would also help re-establish Tim's ties to the DCU which are still fairly murky since his revisions in New52 and then being sidelined with Oz.
Tim does not need to be tragically mutilated to become Oracle. What would be more common and relatable is if he simply suffered a career-ending injury like an athlete would. He's unable to come from an MCL injury he suffered while training. That's a devastating injury in real life, even though it seems like small potatoes in the DCU when usually you need to be blasted by Darkseid to get sidelined for any amount of time. But that's why it'd be perfect for Tim — he is supposed to be relatable, like Peter Parker.
Making Tim the Oracle of the DCU returns Tim to his "audience surrogate" role, because it's like he's a streamer/Twitch kid but what he's playing with isn't PUBG, it's The Batman Family.
