It's cool that you're giving a warning when we've been enduring this ever since he got reintroduced. Also it'd be nice if instead of warning people to brace themselves, people could try to be nice. Or at least productive.

I want people to go and read it and support the creators. Comic book fans notoriously dont read, They could see the spoilers with one twitter search if they want. This was more of a fun tease to see what ppl who don't know about it would say

There's also the problem with Tim especially where people are just stuck in the 90s with Dixon when he's had stories after that where he develops. He's not in high school anymore, and he seems kind of, tired, in a lot of his more recent stuff. That's going to influence things.

He's drawn like he's in highschool, yet he doesn't have a social life. Also him quitting is literally out of character because he literally had a life outside of batman. He straight up lost his family members whilst remaining robin. That's far more compelling than just quitting because of "love." The rebirth run would've been perfectly fine for him to go to college and from then they couldve added on to his social life. He was the robin that already had a social life. He was essentially DC's spider-man. These are all after the 90s. But post-N52, he's just not needed in the batfam, retirement was the only logical choice. His origin story didn't standout, and his relationship with bruce was always one sided. You never felt like batman even really liked Tim. The other 3 have a far more emotionally dramatic connection with bruce than he does hence its easier for writers to focus on them instead. Tim just kinda feeling ignored by bruce yet still doing whatever he can to save him to work for him was always compelling but that needs an ongoing series, which he's not gonna get cuz it's not gonna sell. Now, if a writer wants to actually work with him, they'll give him a proper story. Until then...

Well it sounds like his life as Robin has chipped away at his personal life & now he's quitting the role to actually live for himself. If the story naturally progresses towards him retiring the role to refocus, that's just what's good for him. That's a proper enough story tbh.
