Is there a robin Thread?

And by Robin I mean Tim Drake, the real robin. the robin that took that hero and made him unique. Tim gave robin the chance to be an independant. He is the robin of today, the Robin of now.

dick was THE robin, but now he is Nightwing, and I think that to refer to him as the official robin is an insult to him, since he openly and plainly renounced the Robin persona.

I just want to get this out of the way, this thread is for Tim Drake as robin.

I want to open this up because I feel as though Tim has suffered through MAJOR changes in his character, and I see MAJOR potential for him in the future. Ever since his Identity Crisis, tim has been groomed, groomed to become, what I think, will be one of the most important heros in the DC universe.

Talk about his recent situation, the latest issues and what you think is in store for him in the future.

    Robin is one my favorite DC superheroes. He deserves his own thread.

    I am kind of wondering how this Battle for the Cowl thing will shape up, considering Tim and Dick have both said on multiple occasions how much they DON'T want to be Batman.

    The latest issue is pretty disappointing, if this is the direction of the character and the supporting cast:

    Man, seriously.

    The exact same panel 3 times in a row?

    And it's not as funny as the dinosaur comic strip.

    as i said in the other Robin thread, i think the bat-thread covers Tim well enough

    especially since his series ends next month and then he's part of the Battle for the Cowl along with every other Bat Character
