the best part of the whole interview is right in the beginning when RSL is like “wow why are you making it gay” and the interviewer is like “wait sorry I didn’t mean to make it gay” and Hugh Laurie is like “ok but I AM trying to make it gay so let’s discuss”
I feel like I've complained about Tim's email situation in Gotham Knights before (edit: I have), but the truth of it is just so funny.
He's signed up for so many podcasts, video game streamers, and random news alerts; it's just a constant barrage of data going straight into his constantly whirring brain. Hell, he even floats the idea of the Batfamily having their own podcast as a way to correct misinformation about them (which Jason shoots down instantly), and it's made me realize something.
Timothy Drake would be a YouTuber.
In this universe specifically, Timothy Jackson Drake, the heir to Drake Industries and the foster son of the late Bruce Wayne would be a YouTuber.
Think about it. It'd be the perfect cover. Who would ever suspect that some 16-year-old nepo baby with a YouTube channel could ever be Red Robin? You'd have to be mad. I mean, look at him.
Red Robin just dropped out of literal thin air and garotted someone four times his size, and you expect anyone to believe that's the same kid who does 24-hour Minecraft charity streams and occasionally drops 6-hour video essays (his last one was on Lex Luthor's illegal bit mining operation on the moon)?
You CANNOT make a Maria is alive AU and not share the dynamic she may have with Dr. Eggman! Can we see that please?! I feel like he'd be very casual with her when he's not being evil and all that!
I'm now realizing that there's actually not a lot of Maria here. Oops.
