Anonymous asked: I disagree with your analysis that Tim Drake is pretty unchanged. I don't think the real Tim Drake would ever steal from the penguin to prove anything to anyone. I think Tim's kind of a tool now. Unfortunate.

Answer:

That is true, I will agree, about the stealing bit. Does seem a bit out of character. I’m just glad it got to a point where Batman couldn’t ignore him any longer. I was concerned it’d go more, “Can I join you?” “No.” “How ‘bout now?” “No.” “Now?” “No.” “Now?” “Okay, sure.” I’m happy it was escalated to a point where the rest of Tim’s life was in danger unless Batman did something about it, and recognized Tim’s tenacity. Could it have been done differently? Sure. Besides, I’ll always miss preboot Tim. He rocked, no doubt. But I find it useless to sit and mourn what was lost, because it’s not gonna change the powers that be. :\ Thanks for the input!
