So. I’ve been thinking about Tim Drake a lot. Like. So much. So, here’s another rant/analysis/commentary on him.

Here’s the thing. Tim Drake is, and I mean this in the fondest way possible, an asshole. He’s cocky and arrogant and smug. He always has to know everything and he always has to be right. He has NO respect for dumb things like boundaries or privacy. He views emotions as just another variable, something that is to be accounted for and addressed when needed in both himself and others. But protecting people’s feelings isn’t a priority. Yes, Batman’s emotional spiral triggered the events that led him to become Robin. But he didn’t help Bruce which his grief because he saw someone he cared about hurting and wanted to help. He did it because Bruce’s grief threatened to destroy Tim’s understanding of reality. Batman being a hero was one of the only good stable things in his life. He wanted to protect that, and he wanted to protect Gotham’s citizens from both Batman and anyone who would run wild if he died. It was a calculated decision based on numbers, not Bruce’s feelings. Not to say that he doesn’t care, because he does. So much. But he tries not to let it control his decision making. An example being when he didn’t tell Tam that Lucius’s death was fake. A more extreme example from when he really goes off the rails is the entire Titan of Tomorrow storyline.

Anyway— point is Tim understands and cares about the emotional wellbeing of the people around him but he tries very very hard to hide it and not let himself think to hard about why. Because then he’d have to confront that if other people’s feelings are important then his are as well. And that everything his parents taught him was wrong, therefore he is wrong. And as I said, he always has to be right. Because so much of his self worth is tied to his intelligence. Oh. That’s why I relate to him… okay im gonna stop before I have anymore revelations.

Anyway if you're gonna make Tim Drake a villain, always remember: he thinks he's right. Not in the way that he thinks his actions (mas murder) are good, but he's very much a: "the ends justify the means" type of villain. So when he turns into a fascist dictator of the future, he's doing everything he can to do "the right thing", even if that means to control and get rid of any free will of the people under his control, even if that means mass murdering criminals with the gun that killed Martha and Thomas Wayne, in his head he's using a weapon of evil and using it for good. If the people don't have free will, they literally don't have the capacity of doing anything he doesn't want them to do.

Also, if he's a villain, he's probably not going to be alone. He's very good at networking, and his friends will have a tendency to follow him during crisis, which is usually good, except when it's not.

A character flaw of his is always seeing the world as black and white, even when he's committing atrocities, he'll think he's right. And the only way to defeat him ideologically is to show him that he's not.

whenever I’m doing college work that makes me so tired and sad I can look into my corner where all my Star Trek figures are staring at me ominously and that makes me feel a bit better
