#can you tell i’ve been flipping back thru the 90’s robin comics lately

It’s truly wild how big the gap is between fanon and canon Jack Drake. Every other fic on ao3 has Jack kicking Tim out and/or not noticing when his son disappears meanwhile every other issue of Tim’s Robin has Jack banging on Bruce’s door, yelling at the cops, pacing his living room calling Tim’s gf, friends, school etc; and even contacting his local politicians because his son didn’t come home before curfew and Jack doesn’t know where he is.

Like don’t get me wrong he’s no Father of the Year. But rather than being a terrible dad, I’d say he started out an absent one, had a brush with death, and then did his best to be an average dad.
