((I never really brought it up since i never write seriously here LMAO but i kind of portray tim a bit dark when it comes down to it, as in hes not as scared to cross the line as he used to be. Hes also incredibly manipulative, as shown in these panels

((“He 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙙 trying to get away. 𝙃𝙞𝙨 own fault.”

“Well 𝙄 didn’t do anything, Bruce...”

“I calculated over 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙙 difference paths that Boomerang 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 have taken that could have kept him out of trouble!”

He shifts the blame on boomerang,—

— knowing full well boomerang would choose ALL the wrong choices. Why? Because tim cornered him. Tim intricately made a scenario for boomerang specifically to have him make all the wrong choices. And bruce knew all this

((And then this scene.

When bruce said “you saved him tonight Tim..but what about 𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬?” tim didnt answer, but you just KNOW what that implied

The ending of the comic is tim asking himself “what will i have to become?” Kinda cemented on how “gray” tim —

— got, and how much he was willing to risk to make gotham “𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩”.

He chose “red robin” after getting fired as robin because red robin has no ties to the bat family, which was what he was aiming for, since he was going to “cross the line”. At first it was to find bruce, —

— and it showed when he worked with ras to dig deeper to where bruce was. But i think it continued even after bruce was back.

This is also pretty interesting. When he entered the “unternet” (internet for villains) he asks if everyone feels as “angry” as he is. Lonnie —

— explained that the unternet “encourages what we want to do but wont do”. In this period of time, tim have went thru a lot of shit, but he keeps them bottled up, including his anger, which he could finally release here, in a world without restriction.

—

— But that being said, i dont think he’ll go down a “villainous” path, since i hate it whenever they make him an “evil batman”, though at the same time i kinda get whyd they think tim would, but i dont think tim would cross THAT line, since he still set boundaries

((Anyway TLDR: i wanna explore this side of tim more lol
