Tim Is Not Robin - Tumblr Posts
So TCUAFW is a story where Tim doesn’t become Robin. There are several reasons for this
-He doesn’t think he can Live up to the Robin Legacy
-doesn’t think Batman needs Robin specifically
-thinks that Robin will only continue to remind Batman of his dead son
-thinks that a Robin should be chosen
And so on
Tim decides to become his own vigilante to Protect Batman from himself and Gotham from Batman.
He wants to keep a professional relationship with the BatFam, so he won’t get attached by the time his mission is over.
This is going to effect their relationships…I just haven’t quite decided how yet.
I was thinking about what color scheme to make Tim’s suit, so I was looking up types of falcons. There’s a Bat Falcon and I, out loud, called Dibs.
I’m considering doing a past attempted Joker Junior background for TCUAFW.
I’m thinking that Tim got kidnapped while he was out getting photos of Batman and Robin. The Joker was doing an experiment to see if her could create a kid for himself, a little sidekick like Batsy. His goons kidnapped a bunch of kids so he could try different things to convert them.
Some die, and some don’t even get to be experimented on before Batman comes to the rescue. Tim gets the electric therapy treatment and a shit ton of drugs. He’s the closest Joker got but didn’t get far enough for the Joker Junior conditioning to really take. There will be some effects on his character that I’m already planning for.
His parents get called, they come home for like a month to set him on a treatment plan but go back to traveling pretty quick, not really understanding what all was going on with Tim. He has to do weekly check ins via emails and the occasional video call to assure them he’s relatively safe.
I’m pegging Tim at around ten almost eleven here. So he’s had time to heal by the time he goes on to help Batman.
Tim, as a result, is a darker character in some ways. I’m aiming for a True Neutral grows into a Chaotic Neutral alignment for the most part, but he models himself after Batman while he’s Falcon.
First pass for Tim’s suit.
I’m not great with color matching, but I’m leaning towards #6.
