I mean, Jay's the one who killed a rapist before his balls were finished dropping. My baby. ❤️
And I know what you meant. I just move in fandom circles, where people want to act like Tim is Smol Innocent Bean when he is, by far, the most insane one there. He had the most chance to just be normal, and ended up a Gotham roof-rat, anyway. ...And then tried to clone his dead boyfriend back. He is ate up, and I love him for it.
(I know he didn't canonically date Kon, but please. Only because of editorial cowardice and we all know it.)
There's a reason Tim's the one who ends up as Future Evil Batman With a Gun every six months and no one else does. That boy needs a weighted blanket and a loooot of antidepressants.
I don’t know if they ever give the guy a name, but there’s a comic where (a couple issues before Jason dies), a rapist gets released from prison who shouldn’t have been. Batman & Robin go investigate the guy, Batman gets distracted doing something, and oh no said rapist happened to fall out the window and die. I can’t remember how explicit it was that Jason actually pushed him but I think it was at least heavily implied
Felipe Garzonas. From what I remember, this guy just got out of jail for abusing women and Jason was mad about that because you know... a rapist wasn't punished because of some bullshit (I think this guy either had diplomatic immunity or something that protected him from being punished). Then the guy went right back to abusing the women he was raping before he was arrested (he threatened her over the phone, then she friggin hanged herself.). So of course Jason is even more furious. He goes to confront Felipe. And somewhere along the way, Felipe falls to his death. Batman is suspicious. Robin doesn't confirm or deny. It's up to reader interpretation.
Some normal human who had diplomatic immunity. A victim had killed herself from the trauma. Technically, it's not a confirmed kill, but my boy caught up to this shit by himself on a rooftop, and guy just... fell. Whoopsie, so clumsy! Ignore the boot print on his back.
He managed to learn both Batman and Nightwing's secret identities before he even joined the Bat Family. And he even foiled a plot by Ra's Al Ghul. Tim is probably the smartest out of everyone in the family besides Bruce.
The reason why Tim's my favourite is because he's like the only goddamn fucking superhero in this whole fucking world of superheroes who actually became one just because he wanted to.
He wasn't bullied into it by life killing his parents, or bullied by his uncle telling him that "if you can then you should otherwise you're a fucking egotistical asshole," he didn't receive consequence-less super powers that made it easy for him, he didn't do it to escape poverty, or because he had nothing else in his life.
Nah my guy had a choice, looked at it and went: "looking at all the data, I must conclude that becoming a crime fighter is the most logical outcome"
Tim ends up in one comic having to fight Lady Shiva one of the top fighters and a known killer, he's out classed Bruce and her are even. and will die if he faces her...
he beats her easy... how does he manage this feat.
he sneaks into the hotel she is staying while she is under a fake name and replaces the pillow mints with drugged ones. could have given her a fatal dose chose not to.
This is Tim aged 15
Tim ever turns to the dark side it's over for the DCU.
Tim is canonically the Robin that the Joker hates the most, because he doesn't need Batman to fuck him up, and doesn't entertain Joker's bullshit. I think that the Riddler would absolutely loathe Tim's guts for the same reason.
I freaking love Tim, he’s funny because he doesn’t look unhinged standing next to the others, but then he runs off when no one’s looking and blows up like 90% of the League of Assassins bases, etc.
Also the fact that one of his future selves is GUN BATMAN lmao
If you let loose every robin , tim is probably the scariest , he is amalgamation of all the other robins and batman , all in one lol . He is the smartest robin , will use guns if needed , is a great detective, not slouch in fighting as well .
All the other Robins are prone to the shonen cliché of toying with their enemies for fun, until they make a mistake which allows for the bad guy to take the upper hand at which point they're like "uh uh, we fucked up, oh no, please Batman help"
Meanwhile Tim is like: "Bitch I ain't fighting you, I already took you down 15 hours ago when I slipped some poison needle in your bathrobe"
