[User] Dick & Damian won.

[Assistant]
>>136822457
Objectively, yeah. Dick won from the start, always has, and he has great adaptations under his belt despite how his superfans whine as if he doesn't.

I really did think Damian was in a precarious position for a minute. Tim was back to being Batman's partner Robin in the classic Robin ensemble. Damian has been separated from Batman, given a dark color scheme, and sent away for other adventures... I really thought Damian was going to be magically aged up in the Shadow War/Nezha shenanigans and sent off to make a team with Jon. Shuffled to the bottom of the deck, so to speak, and the new hierachy would be Dick >>> Tim >>> Jason > Damian. But then Gunn announced Damian as the Robin of the new movie universe, and now Damian will be written by Williamson in a Batman and Robin ongoing. Damian is strongly in the #2 spot behind Dick, while Jason and Tim are lagging badly. I heard rumors of a new Outsiders book in the autumn? Who knows.

Chip Zdarsky is doing everything he possibly can to push Tim, and he still can't close the gap. Neither could Tynion. Batman always sells, but I have seen no real enthusiasm for the current run. It's so embarrassing how stale Tim is.

I have no idea what's going on with Jason. I think he must be coasting on his aesthetic. He has a webtoon and various books keep name-dropping him as if he's a big deal, so I guess he has good name recognition. But man he sure is spinning his wheels story-wise. I think Harley sold even worse than he does, so there is some other it factor independent from book sales that make these characters allegedly popular.

Is simple, editorial is such a mess that they are putting out whatever writers pitch them regardless of quality and/or popularity. You can't tell me that people were claiming for more Punchline or Blackman deserved two consecutive series.

Tim got pushed because there were writes who wanted him but they didn't have any good ideas. Tynion was just nostalgia fagging while Gay Tim was just pushing an agenda.

Jason for better or worse, has no one genuinely interested in him and is only being used to get some more sales for shitty books like Joker or TFZ

>Step aside, Damian-the world's favorite Robin has got this! That's right, after years away, Tim Drake is taking center stage in a brand-spanking-new Robin series of his very own! A mystery over a year in the making takes shape, as a new villain who's been hounding Tim from afar decides to take things up close and personal, putting Bernard and everyone else Tim cares about in peril as things go from bad to worse for the world's oldest and canonically tallest Robin [no, I will not be fact-checking that]. All that and Tim finally carves out a corner of Gotham City just for himself, and sets up shop in his very own...murder shack boat? Fan-favorite writer Meghan Fitzmartin teams up with beloved Harley Quinn artist Riley Rossmo to define the next chapter in Tim's life. And as if that wasn't enough, break out your skateboards and motorcycles cuz we've assembled a murderer's row of artists to draw the 1990s' One True Robin™ in his various looks from over the years!

Bro, TFZ was a Red Hood comic book, but with the support of some Batman villains to see if it would hold sales. Failed. Joker doesn't need Red Hood to have sales, he's the fucking Joker, it's the opposite. But Rosenberg is a very bad one, so the title is sinking. Not as much as Rosenberg's other comics, but it's there. And you say that nobody wants to use the character... and Rosenberg? his last two comics were with Jason.

Killing is wrong because killing is wrong. If you only believe killing is wrong due to external factors, then you don't actually have any moral conviction about killing itself.

Jason and Tim simply need a good direction and writer to save them

A lot of fans aren’t old enough to remember the mid 00s, but in the mid 00s Dick was considered DONE, old, and busted. In fans eyes Tim had simply taken Dick’s relevance as he was now totally the Robin meant to be become Batman (which in hindsight ruined the character and is now one reason Tim simply can’t recover) and had taken the Titans team from him. Now Outsiders was a fairly popular title as DC actually pushed it, but Dick wasn’t well liked in it at the time due to him going overboard on angst.

>2003-2008
>Devin Grayson taking over the title and ruining it after about ten issues
>Editorial ruining her run when her messing it up wasn't enough
>Him being an asshole in Outsiders during this
>He's gonna die
>Oh wait no he's not never mind
>Nightwing OYL
>Nightwing Annual #2
>Still an asshole on Outsiders
>Wolfman taking over his title and caring more about promoting Vigilante than about Dick
>Tomasi the only thing making him not complete shit
>2008 Titans

Dick as a character was saved and rejuvenated by Morrison making him Batman and he was coasting on that for a few years until Grayson, Seeley’s run and Taylor’s run came.

I remember it, and while it was a dry spell in terms of quality, I don't think anyone thought he was done. Just Didio. There's a reason they didn't get to kill him off. In the 2000's I don't think any dick fans really cared about him being Batman. It's not like Bruce was ever going to permanently die so he could take over. As for Outsiders/Titans, those felt like weird high school reunions, a big deal for those wit nothing else going on but not for those successful outside it. I don't think anyone took what Dick was doing in team books too seriously.

Jason and Tim simply need a good direction and writer to save them

A lot of fans aren’t old enough to remember the mid 00s, but in the mid 00s Dick was considered DONE, old, and busted. In fans eyes Tim had simply taken Dick’s relevance as he was now totally the Robin meant to be become Batman (which in hindsight ruined the character and is now one reason Tim simply can’t recover) and had taken the Titans team from him. Now Outsiders was a fairly popular title as DC actually pushed it, but Dick wasn’t well liked in it at the time due to him going overboard on angst.

>Editorial ruining her run when her messing it up wasn't enough

>Nightwing OYL
>Nightwing Annual #2
>Still an asshole on Outsiders
>Wolfman taking over his title and caring more about promoting Vigilante than about Dick
>Tomasi the only thing making him not complete shit
>2008 Titans

Dick as a character was saved and rejuvenated by Morrison making him Batman and he was coasting on that for a few years until Grayson, Seeley’s run and Taylor’s run came.

To be honest, Dick's current status quo isn't great either. He doesn't have any good villains or a strong side cast in his solo. Still way ahead of all the other Robins, but that's not much of an achievement.

Dick as solo Nightwing never has had a good status quo.

[User] But to continue from that, another idea which has been said multiple times amongst Tim Drake fans is for him to take a new identity as a superhero. Moving on from Robin, a codename that could suit him in my eyes would be Cardinal. It's yet to be used from what I know and it sticks with the overall Avian theme. It also doesn't seem as lazy as Red Robin or Drake. In terms of distinguishing himself visually, I think he had an interesting thing going with his Red Robin uniform. Sure people rag on it, especially the cowl. But I think there was something there, maybe make the cowl more birdlike in appearance? Something reminiscent to a beaked shaped mask, perhaps?

[Assistant]
>>136767545
Exactly, why overcomplicate him Red Robin worked fine. Set Tim up where he works best like a lone detective story, stick him in a cool costume not robin, and do something interesting or leave him somewhere satisfying. Its a shame DC let him fall off.

To be fair, he didn't incite the mob war. Black Mask was already winning the mob war by the time Red Hood first showed up, he'd turned the entire Gotham underbelly into his private empire, hundreds were dead, a teenage girl was tortured to death for several days.

Red Hood toppled Black Mask, leaving Batman free to take a year-long vacation while Cassandra Cain started her crazy sexy bitch arc (RIP wasted potential). Red Hood is still a mass-murdering, drug dealer-protecting criminal, but he's better than the alternative.

Regardless, defending Red Hood is cringe. He declared himself a bad guy, he acted like a bad guy, he got treated like a bad guy. It doesn't matter if he's a lesser evil, it doesn't matter if he's harm reduction, he isn't a good guy. He's a villain.

Superheroes are meant to be paragons. There are no shades of gray. Progress is the enemy of perfection.

Bro, TFZ was a Red Hood comic book, but with the support of some Batman villains to see if it would hold sales. Failed. Joker doesn't need Red Hood to have sales, he's the fucking Joker, it's the opposite. But Rosenberg is a very bad one, so the title is sinking. Not as much as Rosenberg's other comics, but it's there. And you say that nobody wants to use the character... and Rosenberg? his last two comics were with Jason.

Then you missed the point of the character. The Robin who was of equal intellect to Batman was Dick. While retconned over the past 20 years Dick's Robin was brilliant and perfect in a way that only the big name golden/silver age heroes can get away with. He's called the Boy Wonder for a reason.
Tim was unique because he had to really work at being Robin, he had to get creative.
Plus being the only Robin with a family.

Tim had impressive feats ever since his very first comic and had more and more of those genius feats over the years, only current Tim looks like a normal guy.

Tim was always comparatively more down to Earth, that was the point. He was made specifically as a cypher for the late 80s young white nerdy suburban boy demographic. Someone they could relate to and self-insert through.

Dick was trapping eldritch abominations in alternate dimensions and and nuking underwater Nazi sea-bases on solo adventures as a child. While Tim was learning basic detective work Dick was infiltrating and destroying international satanist cults while clapping the beautiful orange buttcheeks of an exiled alien princess. He's not meant to be normal. His Robin was every way the same absurdly over-the-top character Batman was.

[Assistant]

Jason, no. He's very popular among casuals, male AND female.

Tim already is fading into obscurity.. Even him being the Robin in the main batbook isn't helping him and he's being propped up by batfamilyfags who have literally never read a comic in their lives and need him in the family as the smart coffee addict.

According to who?

[Assistant]
>>136842245
Nothing explicitly official, but a bunch of leaks did say Damian was going to drop the Robin mantle and join Justice League Dark, which was then apparently changed to Teen Titans Dark, so he could be in a team with characters like Monkey Prince and Black Alice, this seemed to be soft confirmed by DC's site.
The original Batman vs. Robin ending was apparently also supposed to have Damian becoming Nezha's vessel again instead of asking Gotham to save Batman, which makes sense considering Waid said Damian would make a great sacrifice, something that didn't actually happen in the book, anyone who's read Batman vs. Robin can tell you that the ending felt very awkward, like there was a last minute rewrite.

Oh no doubt. That's why I said the TPB and not the movie. Anyone who checks out Damian's origin comics after seeing the movie will see Tim.
>Damian works just as well (maybe even better) without Tim there.
Not really. Damian works great in contrast to Tim being this model Robin, and Damian is everything he isn't. And no, you can't just plug in Dick or Jason, especially since part of what makes Dick's dynamic with him is that he's already comfortable with himself independent of the robin mantle.

My thought was that you don't need Tim there as the perfect Robin because you have the legacy of Dick as Robin to hold up as the ideal and the legacy of Bruce's failure with Jason as the possible worst result. Instead of comparing Damian to Tim (and having Damian nearly kill Tim from the jump) you have Bruce seeing two very real paths that Damian could fall down and having to figure out what to do with his murderous mess of a child. It centers the conflict on Damian and Bruce instead of Damian and Tim.
It alters the relationship between Damian and Dick as well. Damian focus on Dick as the false son instead of Tim, being jealous while simultaneously trying to follow in his footsteps as Robin.
I dunno, I think it simplifies the story and it puts Dick in the mix earlier so he's not coming in out of left field if they decide to do DickBats.

Jason however is VERY popular among casuals.

Men like him because he uses guns so he's cool and women like him because he's a sad bad boy.

Kory shouldn't have a 10 year old telling her what to do and Gar, and Raven should be grown ass adults instead of getting deaged to fit every new Robin.

But I think that even though I think Damian has a ton of great stuff (including a friendship with Maps, too), that doesn't mean he doesn't fit into Teen Titans like any other Robin.

It's not about that dude, it's about Robins that aren't Dick getting stuck with Dick's supporting cast instead of getting one of their own, or using their already established ones, this is also part why the New 52 Outlaws with Roy and Starfire wasn't as well-received as the Rebirth one, it was just Jason getting Dick's sloppy seconds.

What was that arc if not his villain origin story? Because everything from that era of DC was setting Damian up as Ra's Al Ghul Jr., at no point they had Damian think "oh maybe this is bad", instead, they had him double down on leaving the Bat-Family and the Robin mantle for his own darker path.

And made him both black and gay, meaning he's almost completely unrecognizable as any version of Tim that anyone's known for 30 plus years.

>>136848577
So, tell me, do you just seethe every time any Robin who isn't Dick gets to do anything fun?

>>136848612
I agree Damian has all those things and they're good (well, I hate Super Sons, but that's more because I think Tomasi has Damain get away with being an asshole instead of having someone call him on his cruelty and immaturity as Dick, Steph, Maya, Tim, and Jason do). But I think that even though I think Damian has a ton of great stuff (including a friendship with Maps, too), that doesn't mean he doesn't fit into Teen Titans like any other Robin. I do think changing generations for Raven is really dumb, but the Garcia/Picolo series still makes Damian younger than Gar and Rachel.

I told you guys then, and I was right: Damian was on an arc, he was never gonna be the villain. You can maybe say "Well, Didio was fired, so it didn't happen," but Didio loved Damian. He was never going to turn him evil. Bendis's Legion plotline with Damian being "future Baby Hitler" was CLEARLY a misdirect that the Legion would have to AVERT, it wasn't set in stone. Ugh. It's really simple if you're even slightly genre savvy and aware of creator/editorial preferences.

I mean, if the 5G leaks are to be believed, then Damian absolutely was meant to become a villain.
The fact that he's completely absent from Future State is also kinda proof of this, no one wanted to touch the original plans for 5G Damian, so they kept him as vague and mysterious as possible while still having most other 5G elements present.

I find it funny how TT cartoon is more lighthearted like the YJ comics and the YJ cartoon is more hard hitting and soap opera esque like the TT comics

All things considered, he bounced back pretty well. Was able to get married, hold a job, has no real psyche trauma from the Joker thing as far as we can see from his daily life, just dreams. He was more just upset that Bruce closed himself off and he couldn't still be Robin.
Jason's pretty thoroughly fucked by being legally dead, and having his mom aim a fucking pistol at him.

Tim doesn't have a hook. It has nothing to do with him being put with a boyfriend, nothing to do with the New 52 reboot, perhaps very little to do with Damian's introduction and Jason's return. The writing was on the wall when Tim couldn't get an adaptation even at the height of his popularity.

Dini and Timm freely chose to adapt dead meat Jason as the legacy Robin for the DCAU without any real resemblance to Tim.

The 1998 YJ comic would've easily translated to a timely cartoon, but DC instead preferred to heavily rework Dick's Teen Titans (even though Teen Titans had already been nobodies for a full decade), and made one of the most enduringly popular cartoons of this generation.

Even the cartoon titled Young Justice used Dick instead, and Tim barely showed up as a secondary next gen character.

Dick is the most famous and most important Robin and it isn't even close. Jason has two direct-to-DVD movies with his name in the title, one on the most popular player characters in the popular Injustice series, plus other major adaptations. Damian is the star of the DCAMU, the Super Sons movie, and the popular youth publications in Gotham Academy and Picolo Titans.

What does Tim have, compared to any of that? He doesn't have a hook. Love him, but don't let your hopes ride on him.

You mean surviving on the streets alone as an orphaned thief after his henchman dad was killed by Two-Face, then getting adopted by Batman and trained to be the second Robin, keeping Batman's dark side at bay while struggling with his own violent instincts, but ultimately being trapped by the Joker and being tortured so irreparably that the era of the second Robin comes to a gruesome end? That Tim Drake?

They fucked up Damian on TT immediately by shoving Raven, Gar, and Kory in the book. Had it been Damian and his friends Jon, Nobody, and Colin forming a team alongside Wallace and Emiko with newcomers Crush and Djinn (for original characters) to begin with it would've had time to grow more naturally and had better team dynamics.

Instead it was Damian being a turd to established characters who shouldn't take his shit and writers again resetting Damian's character development so they could just redo it with new characters.

Someone who likes legacy thinks someone who refers to being a legacy hero as "sloppy seconds" as a tiny dick compensating.

It was super obviously Damian having a legitimate ongoing struggle with the trauma of his origin story, his darker impulses from his training (which don't just "go away" even when you form connections and make some better patterns), and a reaction to Alfred's death in front of him. And WHO WAS ACTUALLY RIGHT, you or me, in terms of the comics that actually got published?

>>136849197
I don't believe anything Rich Johnston has said about the leaks. I believe what Tynion and Williamsons said, but they don't say that Damian was going to be evil as the longterm plan.

It's not about that dude, it's about Robins that aren't Dick getting stuck with Dick's supporting cast instead of getting one of their own, or using their already established ones, this is also part why the New 52 Outlaws with Roy and Starfire wasn't as well-received as the Rebirth one, it was just Jason getting Dick's sloppy seconds.

What was that arc if not his villain origin story? Because everything from that era of DC was setting Damian up as Ra's Al Ghul Jr., at no point they had Damian think "oh maybe this is bad", instead, they had him double down on leaving the Bat-Family and the Robin mantle for his own darker path.
