So did DC throw Tim Drake in the bushes in favor of Damien?

[Neuromancer]

Fixed for accuracy lol.

Tim is supposed to be Peter Parker in a Robin Costume....he's the Smartest to ever put on the Costume.
Not just tech Smart either. He's regarded as the best Detective in the DCU not named Batman or Question.
It's just outside of all that...he's not really that interesting of a character IMO.

Not the Super Athletic natural Leader that Grayson is.
Not the street smart and triple Tough bruiser that Todd is.
Not the god tier Fighter and assassin that Damien is.

He takes 4th place in the popularity fandom...I personally like him over Todd tho.

Robin Unmasked was a great event. But Tim always just seemed like Mini Bruce with less fighting ability.

 

[Neuromancer]

they don’t explicitly say it but all of the showings of his past are golden age Grayson and batmite character’s name is dikk Grayson spelled backwards.

Also dikk created the Red X persona( in the retcons.)

 

[Neuromancer]

yeah, but that was dikk’s alter ego in kingdom come or COIE. Can’t remember which one and they tried Drake too, but they honestly need to develop him away from the bat family and teen titans for a little. Without retreading so much of dikk’s story

Kingdom come

I like Damian as a better character and foil for batman
plus the baby mama drama is icing on the cake

tim has never been that popular outside of the teen titans cartoon, so

nah his solo comic was one of the best selling in the 90s. that tom grummet art he also had to overcome a lot by following a robin nobody liked, and people who thought dikk was the only real robin

he was fukked when they decided to kill his dad during dc's "everything gotta be grimdark" era. then they made him emo batman jr., and yeah they bushed him for wack ass damien

always hated how they basically threw away a whole 90s era that people grew up with just to bring the oldheads back. growing up I always thought kyle rayner was green lantern, wally west was flash and tim drake was robin. all these nikkas bushed now

Tim, Bart, and Kyle Rayner have all fallen to the waste side for late stage Boomer nostalgia.

throw Wally on that list. Geoff John’s silver age fetish jacked dc up.

him training with shiva was dope

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Damien being his son and being tied to the LoS is better storywise
I wouldn't mind Damien taking Terry's place as Batman Beyond if they ever decide to bring it back to tv
It makes more sense because they had to retcon Terry's into being Bruce's son in that JLU episode
Just make it Damien and let him go through the trials of the mantle vs his LoS roots

You are out your got dang mind

 

[nieman]

They tried with the "Red Robin" thing....and it wasn't hitting.
I don't know if it was the Name, the costume, or the story but it just fell flat

I liked the costume, and that first run of Red Robin was fun...but it was just too redundant. And since it seems like they've put all of their discarded Robin traits into Todd, he no longer stands out. Grayson is #1, Todd the outcast-angry-jerk, Damien is the son, so....wait, and Duke is the coolest.

if i'm Drugged or not Talia could get it

You are out your got dang mind

they've done it before
I think it was that Damian had the batman beyond suit before terry and it made him go crazy or something

 

[Optimus Prime]

You are out your got dang mind

He's not real

When New 52 first started they had Tim go missing, cause he secretly retired and then replaced Terry after he died to save the world.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

First of all, it's Damian.

Second of all, Robin is one of DC's best ongoing series right now.

I liked him since his debut. He came in like Grayson cool, the rest of y'all can GTOFH. See me outside if y'all got a problem.

Tim Drakes time is up, they don't know what to do with him or his generation of characters.
