I'm so conflicted on the Red Robin identity for Tim and the discourse around it.

From Tim's inception he's never wanted to be Batman. He's made this claim time after time and backed it up. He doesn't hesitate to call Bruce out when his actions bring harm to himself or others. When Tower of Babel happens and Bruce's contingency plans are released, Tim is confronted by the members of Young Justice and he doesn't hesitate to make it clear that he does not condone or respect Bruce for the disconnect he has from his teammates and friends. Later, during his period as Red Robin, he creates a list of villains whom he's preparing to take on. Among this list however, he has his own list of heroes in the community for whom he's preparing for, the same action that turned so many, including himself, against Batman. Tim has always shared traits with Batman. His detective skills that deduced the identities of Batman and Robin, and ultimately got him the job, his leadership among his peers that could get them to lay their lives on the line out of respect and trust in him, his complete and utter devotion to the mantle and mission to protect the people of Gotham. Despite his best efforts and wants, as he grows into his role of Robin, and later Red Robin, Tim acts more and more like Batman.

But that's not who he is. Tim has always wanted to be Robin. That's who he idolizes, that's the role he was created for. Tim has only ever wanted to be the best Robin he can be. During his period as Red Robin, he's stuck in a grey area where he's not fully committed to being Robin, nor fully given in and become like Batman.

On the one hand, I understand why people don't like or view it as Tim's next step after Robin. Inherently, this suit is meant to be temporary, a means to an end, to be discarded when Tim's goal of finding Bruce is completed. Tim takes up this mantle because of the disconnect he feels from the rest of the hero community. He knows he's in a bad place mentally and that his behavior would leave a stain on the Robin identity. Tim views the Red Robin costume and title as already so stained that he can embrace his withering mental state. He's punishing himself, putting himself in his own prison, letting his negative thoughts and tendencies fester. It's even seen visually through the costume. It's heavy. The cowl looks thick and angry, the belts are big and chunky. The suit itself, pants and tunic, are separated, making the costume a heavier and more restrictive outfit. No matter what way you look at it, this outfit and mantle represent Tim being at the lowest point of his life, surrounded by death, tired of it, blaming himself for it, and punishing himself for it.

But it doesn't stay this way

At the end of his quest to find Bruce, Tim gets alterations made to the suit. The cowl is slimmer, lighter. The outfit is one full body suit, keeping it slim and mobile. The chunky belt is traded out for a utility belt reminiscent of the one present on the Robin suit. The suit overall is more visually appealing, and more expressly Tim.

He's not wearing it as a punishment to himself. He doesn't feel burdened by wearing it. He feels comfortable in it. He feels like himself. He's grown past his time as Robin. This is said not only expressly by Tim, but by the story itself. Tim does not want to be Batman, he's only ever wanted to be the best Robin he can be. Red Robin gives him that opportunity. Through Red Robin, Tim gets to be that, an adult Robin. His own man away from the Batfamily, but someone still expressly connected to it all. The mantle gives him the opportunity to remain Robin, but grow as his own person. Through this mantle, Tim gets his own Nightwing, a better, more lighthearted Batman. A mantle that is mature and can express the necessary elements of the Batman, but that keep the traits of the wearer at the heart of it. Where Nightwing allows Dick to step away from Bruce and be his own Batman through the elements taught to him, Red Robin allows Tim to be his own Robin.
