![]() ![]() Steph started as an occasional Batman guest star, then become a supporting character to Tim in Robin, and only much later became a main character once she got Batgirl. Post-resurrection, Jason was a sporadic guest character, usually an antagonist. (By contrast, Jason and Damian have only really lifted to starring roles post-Flashpoint, previously having always shared billing as Robin. Dick was the regular star of stories within batfamily anthology series-though I’m not familiar enough with the golden/silver/bronze ages to cite those off-hand, sorry-and then in the modern age got a Nightwing ongoing until he took over as Batman. Tim got his own Robin series, and then continued into his Red Robin series. They both were introduced in the sidekick role, but soon started leading stories as main characters in their own right instead of supporting characters to Batman. They had time to become long-lasting members of notable teams. They had time to become staples of the greater universe and connect with many other characters. They were really the only two preboot that had time to live and grow in the role of Robin. Meanwhile, Dick was Robin for over 40 years, and Tim for 20. If you include all reboots, Damian has had a decade, but I ignore everything after Flashpoint since the characterizations changed so wildly, and he only had 2 years preboot. They’re the two who had truly long runs as Robin: post-Crisis Jason had about a year and a half, Stephanie a few months. he needs to stop half-dating girls and either work on himself or be a better boyfriend.

At one point, he misses a date when Robin gets trapped, she ends up going out with someone else behind his back ( Robin #5), and when she tearfully confesses a couple months later…he falls asleep in the middle of it ( Robin #9). Tim is constantly unavailable, zones out or falls asleep when they’re together, and sometimes outright stands her up–all for Robin-related reasons, but still making for a pretty terrible boyfriend. Ari is already insecure over his secrecy by the third issue of the series (though at this point, she is completely off-base about there being someone else). Unfortunately, along with the usual immature fights, the secret identity thing leads to a lot of conflict. It’s a very “14-year-olds who think this is the most important relationship they’ll ever have” vibe. He stays in touch in his civilian persona, and they’ve started dating off-screen by the time his ongoing Robin (1993-) series starts. Tim meets Ariana a little later in his third mini-series, Robin III: Cry of the Huntress (1992), first as Tim Drake, then as Robin when he saves her from a kidnapping. The comics sometimes try to hint at a Batman/Catwoman type dynamic, but it’s never really there.ĭating Verdict: Definitely not dating. Lynx continues to move up in the world, taking over the gang, moving to Gotham, and regularly appearing as one of Tim’s rogues. Tim tries to bow out before discovering she’s tied up in a gang and in an unhealthy relationship with the gang’s leader, and immediately turns into a dumb boy and tries to save her–completely missing that she neither needs nor wants saving. He’s 13, maybe 14 in this, so yes it is very weird! Tim goes to Paris to study martial arts and joins a fellow student at a club, where Lynx flirts with him. Tim meets the first Lynx (Ling No-last-name-provided) in his original mini series Robin (1991). So instead let’s go through a run down of all of Tim’s (pre52) love interests, in chronological order! Honorable Mention: Lynx I I could answer these asks much more simply, and I know you already know a lot of this having seen your meta, but I like being thorough and making things hard on myself… That’s fair! I do think this is partially up to interpretation, and I personally tend to believe characters are not officially dating until it is made explicit, especially with the grey area that can exist between ‘going on dates with someone’ and ‘dating someone with the promise of monogamy.’ ![]() (anon, I am pretty sure you are referencing the same thing based on when I got this ask, but just hit me back if I have completely misunderstood) Anonymous asked: I would very much be interested in a post like that
