So, who is the real Tim Drake? Well… That answer begins here, in Robin Vol. James Tynion took over Tim’s character in Detective Comics, and in my opinion, completely restored who this character is at heart! It was such a turnoff for me that I spent years hoping DC would fix his characterization, before ultimately giving up… And then Rebirth happened. He’s stand-offish, arrogant, rude, and completely not a team player.

Those of you that have frequented Batman-News and read our comic reviews should be aware that we’ve been highly critical of any title containing Tim. In fact, you probably think those of us who speak so highly of him are crazy! To put it lightly, the Red Robin/ Tim Drake that is featured throughout the New 52 is NOT Tim Drake. This might seem like an odd place to start – I mean, any sensible person would start with Nightwing or Batgirl – but considering the attention Tim has received since Rebirth, he seemed like the prime character to cover. If you didn’t start reading comics until the New 52, there’s a good chance that you don’t understand the mass love that is usually associated with Tim. To kick things off, I figured I would start with Tim Drake.
