You know why I find interesting? How Tim is different from the other Robins. The others were Destined to be vigilantes. They were headed down that path already. Dick was an acrobat, he wanted to get back at Zucco, in some origins he was sneaking out before he was officially Robin, Dick was on his way to Vigilantism. Jason was a street kid with a strong moral compass, I could see him still becoming a vigilante, being done with the treatment he sees and going down the path. Stephanie was Spoiler to spite her dad, she stated vigilantism on her on terms. Damian was born into the business. But then Tim he isn't destined to be a vigilante, he could have just let Batman self destruct. I feel like Tim was less destined and more DESIGNED. He wanted Dick to be Robin again, Dick said no so he offered himself up. He was then molded into Robin, he needed to be different, Bruce didn't need a kid he needed a Robin, Bruce needed a Robin that would listen, that would follow orders, that wouldn't die. It really shows in his character too. Tim in main comics hasn't actually died (He 'died' in that one time with drone but he wasn't even thought dead for a full comic so I don't count it), and that makes sense, it's in his training to be different, to survive. Idk it's just interesting.
