In today's episode of: People don't actually read comics before making opinions online!
Someone posted on (social media redacted but you can guess) that the solution to the "Tim Drake Problem" in the next reboot is to just... Kick Tim out of the Batfam all together.
To be clear, not in a fanon way, but in a "actually he was never in the Batfam to begin with and was never a Robin (of any flavor)" kind of way. Just a random detective boy who isn't even in Gotham, I guess?
Uhh, sir, you are aware that without Tim Drake there likely wouldn't even be a Batfam, right? Like Bruce wasn't out here making friends. Dick wasn't exactly willing to play happy family. Alfred can be worse than Bruce sometimes. Neither Jason nor Damian is designed as a "reach out and make connections" character.
Tim Drake is our teamup guy and without him I'm not sure we get a Batfam or a larger network of interconnected Gotham vigilantes.
A lot went into building the Batfam, but it's straight up ignorant to omit Tim's contribution(s).
People are allowed to have opinions on how things should evolve, but at least make it make sense. All Robins are important to the story overall. Don't get rid of the kid who helped build the thing you think doesn't have room for him anymore.
#tim drake#Batfam#To be clear this isn't meant to devalue any other members' contributions to the family. Tim is just our teamup guy plain and simple#I'm just sick of this “Tim Drake” problem thing... It's not hard to give everyone a *little* spotlight sometimes#Seriously all DC needs to do is create an actual anthology book for Gotham characters (without Bruce) doing short storylines#Every four months spin a wheel and team up some characters for “shenanigans” or a case#Low stakes and a rotation of artists/writers who have some obscure thing they want to explore#Not everything has to be a big event or long running story#This got off topic... Uh point is... Don't delete robins#At this point they're all load bearing for one reason or another#jojosquires rants
