I've seen this as an argument that comes up everywhere. I keep on seeing people harp on how much they dislike Tim because he became Robin after Jason, and essentially forced himself on Bruce while Bruce was grieving.

And while I can understand disliking him on the basis of him replacing your favorite Robin, the distaste directed at him because of him taking on the Robin mantle himself is weird because he was a child. Bruce was an adult. Tim became Robin because Bruce let him become Robin. I don't know, I see so many fans treat Tim becoming Robin as intentionally malicious. I see them acting like he was a full grown man who was waiting gleefully to take the Robin mantle, and not a kid who saw his hero in need of a Robin.

Tim is treated more of an adult in this perceived dynamic than Bruce is, and that's really weird.

And it's weird, because by comparison, early Damian's fucked up deeds were always reduced to "well he's a kid, so we can't blame him" And to an extent, that's true. He was brainwashed by his abusive mother and grandfather and was actively loved to do better.

And there's a huge difference between Tim vs. Damian, but the point still stands.

Bruce Wayne let Tim be Robin. Tim was a child. The ability for him to be and stay a Robin was on Bruce. It's disingenuous to act otherwise.

Kinda like the black jacket more

While it was a short appearance, I actually kinda liked it. Tim was badass, had his personality, Bernard was there but he didn’t take up every single panel, and as a setup to Tim’s “imminent future” like Matt Fraction said I don’t necessarily mind it. I think it’s interesting enough to start Tim on a new path.

Old -> New

1st one is from September 2024, and the latest is from this September.

This is by FAR not all of it. This is but a brief glimpse into how Damian Wayne my mind is.

A lot of them are AUs

Decided to mashup my Fave Robin with some classic Little Shop of Horrors.
