    Where will you be in your twenty years, Timothy?
    How do you see yourself as an adult?
    I would imagine you just ran three different scenarios through your mind.
    I know where you will be.

    I think I might start looking for issues of this now.

    The whole line of comics based on BTAS was amazing. Everything about it was so perfect.

    LET’S TALK ABOUT HOW ALL OF THIS COMPLETELY GUTS TIM’S CHARACTER AS WE KNEW IT SHALL WE

    • HIS PARENTS

    The severe emotional neglect dominating Tim’s childhood very much informed who he was and how he related to people. That’s why Dick, why that simple moment of sincere, easy affection and the horrific loss that followed, had such a profound effect on him, and why Batman and Robin became so important to him.

    • ROBIN

    Robin’s legacy meant everything to Tim. He knew that Robin was a symbol – of life, and hope, and joy – and one that couldn’t be allowed to die with Jason. He put everything he had into doing that name justice, into being worthy of it, of both Dick and Jay. It was both an inspiring, driving force and an incredibly heavy burden.

    • BATMAN

    Tim figuring out Bruce and Dick’s identities at such a young age established a lot about him – how keenly perceptive, shrewd, and, frankly, obsessive, he already was. He kept that secret for years, with no prompting or encouragement. 

    • OLYMPICS?

    Tim was always more of a detective than a fighter. It didn’t come easily to him; he wasn’t trained from childhood the way Dick was, he didn’t have to defend himself the way Jason did. But he worked his ass off. He compensated. It makes him imperfect and admirable all at once. 

    I just don’t understand why you’d just throw all of this out.

    The great thing about comic books as a medium is the fact that when you come into any one character (ninety percent of the time), said character has a rich and meaningful background thanks to all of the previous writer/artist teams that have come before. Which gives you a lot to work with (challenges based on things the character has struggled with in the past, perhaps rocky relationships that previous writers have only touched on, ect). I don’t understand why DC has forfeit such a fantastic universe rich in history for a fresh slate. In my opinion, it’s an extremely lazy move and just shows that a lot of the people DC has working for them don’t have the creativity or integrity to be working in this medium. /rant

    I still think DC should call the New 52 ‘Ultimate DC Comics’, but this page is awesome.
