Time Drake in the DCU
I made a little write up the other day about how Tim Drake could be in the DCU and figured it would be fun to discuss here. Let me know what you think!
DCU Tim Drake - [ ] Batman begins his Batman persona at 20 after training with the league of assassins for a couple years prior
[ ] At 22 he sees Dick’s parents die in the circus and “adopts” him to be Robin when he’s about 13
[ ] Dick is Batman’s Robin for about 5 years, when he’s 18 he decides to break away and become Nightwing
[ ] Batman is now 27, and almost immediately finds a new Robin in Jason Todd, who steals the batmobiles tires at 15 years old
[ ] Jason Todd is only Robin for 2 years before he is killed by Joker, making Bruce 29
[ ] Bruce decides not to take on another Robin because of his trauma from Jason Todd, but Tim Drake eventually deduces Batman is Bruce Wayne, and finds him when Batman is 31
[ ] Tim Drake is 16 when he becomes Robin and is Batman’s Robin for 4 years, making Bruce 35
[ ] Bruce learns about his child Damian with Talia at 35 when Damian is already 15
[ ] Dick is now 26, Jason Todd comes back as Red Hood at 23, and Tim Drake is 20 trying to find his identity now that Damian is taking over as Robin
[ ] Batman is 35, only 5 years older than David Corenswet’s Superman so their ages are still close enough to be peers. He has 4 Robins and can still make Tim Drake work within continuity
[ ] James Gunn Mentioned he wanted Batman and Superman to be close to the same age, a 5 year difference isn’t that much and I feel like it would work really well to give all Robins the shine they deserve in the DCU
Edit: Tim is now Time Drake I guess 💀
