You can talk to his gravestone if you like?

Oh I see you missed your stop at mid 2000s comics or you got off too early for the 1980s comics.

IDK dude we could go grave robbing if you want to have a conversation.

We have a memorial case does that work?

Ehh sometimes Nightwing or Robin will hallucinate him, they have conversations sometimes.

Oh your looking for a black sheep vigilante type who is close with the other bats but has a strained relationship with Batman? We have that. She's Huntress and she's the coolest.

Oh you want more of a rogue type that gets up to crazy schemes? We have Catwoman.

Oh you want a character struggling with their past and training they had from a group that sounds very cultish? Jean-Paul Valley /Azrael.

Nah dude there's two rules in comic books. Bucky Barns stays dead. Jason Todd stays dead.

You'll make something and include a few of the bats and somewhere someone will be like "where's Jason what about Jason" not understanding he's been left out on purpose

Big, Bald, Beefcake is back for another multiverse adventure. [This is the consequences of Rocksteady making you Bald and married to Babs]

Another stupid AU where the Titans Tower showdown is about to happen but right before Jason confronts Tim, Tim is magically swapped with the Arkhamverse version of himself.

So while Arkham!Tim readily confronts who he believe is the Arkham Knight turned Red Hood, Tim is unceremoniously dumped into the Clock Tower, where Barbara Gordon is utterly baffled by this small gangly version of her Robin, but helps him uncover the mystery as to how the two Robins were swapped to begin with.

Honestly depends. It's really a case by case basis, because sometimes it can improve the comic and other times it can ruin it. I've seen some really good recoloring and touch ups but I have also seen them go really bad. A couple times the touch ups have been to remove racist coloring or reword things to be more acceptable and I'm good with those, but there are times where the recolor can go wrong and just sort of ruin the comic. Don't have strong feeling either way and it's much more case by case and reason by reason.

Comic Readers...

Reblog so it can reach comic Tumblr because I want to know how people feel.

[Quickly putting the tags below so I can build off them]

Arkham Tim who is just being an adult trying to solve this problem even though he doesn't know how to do any of this.

Arkham Tim who calls Red Hood the Arkham Knight and references the time where the whole city was evacuated

*cue flashback to No Man's Land*

Arkham Tim dodging the question about the ring because he can see it will only make this whole thing less productive

Arkham Tim almost calling Babs pet names and having to pretend having a cold or sickness or something.

Stray Tim who is talking about Pet care with Damian and instructing him on the best ways to take care of cats from the street so that Damian can see more of them when he is on patrol

Stray Tim who is showing Damian a cool art technique he learned for a heist and is also doubling in telling Damian how he pulled off the heist

Stray Tim warning Damian about some of the worst Gotham elite to watch out for and the sort of art they collect and refuse to give back

Stray Tim sharing stories about Robin Steph and Batgirl Casa adventures that didn't happen

Stray Tim who isn't acting too much like Catwoman at the moment because well it's nice to hangout sometimes, and his usual targets aren't around and Steph isn't his Steph so he doesn't want to really.

9 year old Tim who will ask all the questions always

9 year old Tim who is getting shown some basic defense by Cass

9 year old Tim who is obssessed with the bikes and cars everyone uses and wants to know everything

9 year old Tim who thinks Steph is really cool and likes the way she tells stories

9 year old Tim who gets attached to Damian at some point because it's the person closest in age to him and he doesn't overwhelm him all the time.

9 year old Tim who sits with Babs as she works and she sets him up with a monitor to watch

Normal Tim who is just in a paradise world of something where vigilantes weren't needed in Gotham just having a rough time because this Gotham is rated the best city in the country while it's Some other city that there is dozens of vigilantes running around in.

Normal Tim who is confronted by what everyone's life would have been like without all of the Gothamness.

Just had the stupidest AU come to mind where Depressed Red Robin!Tim dimension hops for *reasons* but as the rest of the Batcrew scramble to bring him home they accidentally bring three different Tim’s to their dimension: 9 year old fanboy Tim, Stray/Bio Son!Tim, and Arkhamverse!Tim

I dunno how this would end but I feel it would be hilarious for the Bats to come face to face with a young Tim(with stars in his eyes and a heart so big), a Tim raised by Selina Kyle and has the attitude to prove it, and a Tim who is married to Barbara Gordon are you kidding me
