Why Tims New Vigilante Codename Should Be Crow

Why Tim’s new vigilante codename should be Crow

We all agree that Tim needs a new codename. And we all agree that “Drake” is just plain shitty. Red Robin was swiped from Jason and it was only supposed to be a temporary identity anyways. While the Red Robin yuuumm puns are funny, it is acknowledged by many fans, and even characters in the comics, that Tim needs to move on and stop clinging so hard to the past. Which is why I nominate a new codename: Crow.

Reason #1

It sticks with the bird theme, which keeps his connection to the family without being a copycat or staying stuck in the past

#2

Crows are extremely intelligent birds. Hell, they’re one of the most intelligent animals. Tim’s whole shtick is that he’s the smartest member of the smartest family on earth.

#3

Crows have excellent memories and remember human faces, which is a little nudge at Tim being a secret identity cracker. He figured out Robin and Batman’s identities when he was 9. And figured out Impulse’s the first day they met.

#4

Crows are seen as bad omens and that ties into the whole Bat fear aspect

#5

Ever heard of the story of the Rainbow Crow? Queer Tim rights.

Also the story symbolizes the value of selflessness and service, which is what Tim starting up as Robin 3 was all about

#6

Personally I think Black Bat and Crow would be amazing partners, they’d be equals in a way that Batman and Robin could never truly be

Also they’d be way scarier, Gotham rouges beware

#7

They hold funerals for their dead

Y’all how do you pronounce Damian’s little “Tt”?

Because everyone I know has said it differently. I’ve heard it pronounced “tsk” “tut” and “tit”, which is wild honestly.

I’ve always just pronounced it like the letter T lmfao

I think it’s hilarious how Tim Drake sounds like someone’s self insert but he’s not.

This kid met Dick when he was super young, remembered it so vividly that he recognized his acrobatics in Robin (while he was stalking both Robin and Batman without them knowing), and realized Dick is Robin and Bruce is Batman. Then he keeps it a secret for years until Jason dies and he goes up to Bruce and convinces him that he should let Tim be Robin. AND IT WORKS. Then when he’s sent to go train he catches the eyes of freaking Lady Shiva and she trains him because she thinks he might be able to kill her eventually. Then he’s sent back to Batman and he is a fantastic Robin for a long time.

That literally sounds like fanfiction, but he is very real and very loved. Just shows no matter how self indulgent a story might sound, you should still write it anyways because it CAN be good.

The thunder saga EASILY just skyrocketed to my top 3 sagas in Epic

All of the songs were bangers.

Could someone recommend literally any comic from DC? It can be about any character, setting, or timeline. I’ve been itching to binge something new. So far I’ve mostly only read Batman comics.

It would be much appreciated 😔❤️

I’m being so fr when I say that I was actually depressed the whole day when I found out he died. Never emotionally recovered.

“People aren't tools. We aren't born with any set role.”

And I could only think about him
