I figured out why I like Tim's new suit so much.

For Contex: This Suit

It gives me skater vibes.

Some of you newer fans or those who have gotten lost in the cannon and fannon dumpster pile may have forgotten that Tim Drake used to skate.

What does this prove?

That DC is finding some of its roots and making some of it better? Yes.

[DC still has a lot of issues that I could spend hours talking about but this isn't the post.]

At some point, Tim has a day off. He decides to spend part of that day in the skatepark, so he puts on his baggy T shirts over long sleeves and loose jeans, ties his battered trainers, grabs his skateboard and heads off.

Part way through, a bunch of media (or similar) students turn up, asking interviews and doing recordings for their assignment. They spot Tim, (unrecognisable in his personal clothes, rather than work suits) and call him over, both getting permission to record a few stunts (after he realises they have no idea who he is- it'll be funny if they later realise) and answering a couple of their assignment questions (based on Gotham ig) . Amusingly, 1 of the questions is wether he's skipping to be at the skatepark, which he response is that he's actually a drop out, but he used to skip for the skatepark, after working a bunch of internships at di/we for a while, he ended up working there full time.

Anyways it ends up on the Internet, as videos of cool skaters do, and people recognise him and it blows up- because Tim Wayne??? Not I'm business suits, spotted in camera??? Its uncommon. + I feel like the media would often forget that Tim was a high-school drop out if they're not complaining abt it. Also, who knew he was so good with a skateboard? (Everyone who actually knew Tim drake, is the answer)
