tim drake’s training to be robin was objectively hilarious so here’s that

bruce: hey i’m sending you to paris to train with some old guy and his grandson

tim: cool

~paris~

grandson: pick a weapon to learn to fight with

tim: slingshot

grandson: seriously?

tim: yea

~later~

grandson: hey wanna go out on what is definitely not a date cause it’s 1993?

tim: sure

he immediately ditches this guy and runs off with a girl that is secretly apart of a gang, gets jumped by said gang, follows gang to a warehouse, and saves the life of an ex-fbi agent. lady shiva is also there and immediately clocks him as future fighting opponent material

~later~

ex-fbi agent: holy shit, that’s lady shiva

tim: neat

~later~

old training guy, fuckin dead

tim: guess i’ll just train with lady shiva /:

~later~

shiva: that slingshot is stupid, here’s a bo staff

tim: cool *slices it with a knife *

shiva: whatever floats your boat you funky little white boy

tim beats lady shiva in a fight

shiva, excitedly: one day you and i will fight to the death

~later~

shiva: hey this is the guy running that gang you were fighting earlier

tim: awesome

shiva: he killed the fbi guy from earlier

tim: aw ):

shiva: kill him

tim: what

~later~

batman, knows tim was hanging out with lady shiva: hey what’s up

tim, who just watched lady shiva “kill” a guy: oh nothing much, you?

Tim’s choice to walk away from Lady Shiva & King Snake (Edmund Dorrance) at the end of the Robin 1991 five-issue mini is just so fucking interesting to me.

Tim’s spent significant time this arc with Shiva training him, most of which is her kicking the shit out of him. Dorrance was planning to unleash a bio-weapon on Hong Kong, which Tim stops. Dorrance has killed Clyde Rawlins, the other adult who helped Tim stop the bio-weapon, who was primarily on a revenge quest.

Tim has an injured rib by the end of the fight, but manages to kick Dorrance through a window so he’s hanging onto a walkway. Which is when Shiva shows up; she made it clear to Tim & Rawlins at the start of this that her goal is to find King Snake and kill him just because he’s a very skilled martial artist.

And we get this exchange:

Shiva: “Kill him, little bird. Kill him and become a predator.” Tim: “I thought you wanted to kill him, Shiva. You wanted to be the baddest of the bad. Shiva: “But I will be killing him. Aren’t you my weapon? My instrument of death? Say you are mine.” Tim: “No.”

And Tim just...turns and walks back inside. Half-glancing over his shoulder at a loud “Nooooooo” from Dorrance, with Tim’s narration box saying “Fifty stories is a long way to fall.”

Tim doesn’t try to stop Lady Shiva from killing Dorrance. He doesn’t even protest, say Dorrance is defeated, so why kill him, etc. He just quietly says “No” and walks away. Then he carries Rawlins’ body out of the building despite the pain in his ribs. The trio has saved the day, but the tone is forlorn and melancholy.

It felt very different from the superhero comics I’m used to, and it’s not much later that we will see Tim going up against impossible odds to rescue even villains.

But right here, at the end of this arc, when Tim is tired, injured, far from home, heartsick over Rawlins’ death, facing down a woman he 100% knows he cannot win against, who only wants to kill one man who would have killed an entire city...

Tim walks away.

#we'll find out later Shiva just kicked Dorrance down one story to the next walkway level and made fun of him #but that's not really relevant #Tim Drake #Robin 1991 #or is it #Robin I #?#DC #Batfam #Robin #comics meta #this whole moment just really interests me #what do you want? what are your goals? what will you compromise?

Tales of the Teen Titans #53 - Dick and Kory vs. Donna and Terry; very cute doubles match inside Titans Tower

Batman (Vol. 1) #468 - Tim practicing against a ball machine at Wayne Manor. Bizarrely, he's shown playing both left- and right-handed in different panels (but primarily left). Artist mistake Ambidextrous Tim evidence?!

#Dick and Tim #Dick Grayson #Tim Drake #I know tennis is just a sport young men of a certain social class could easily be expected to play #especially in this time period (1985 and 1991 respectively)#and Dick and Tim are both athletic and shown to be good at a lot of sports #also Jack Drake is into tennis to some extent - he dragged Tim along to that “Tennis Open” in Gotham in Prodigal pt 4-5 #so quite possibly it's something the Drake family might have done together #but my brain still goes brothersssss :) <3 #if Tim knew Dick played (which I bet he did the lil stalker) I could see him being happy to keep up with it. because Robin plays tennis! :D #little brother behavior #they so got onto a court together at some point #and had fun trying to leave as many bruises as possible smacking balls into each other #Donna Troy #Terry Long #Koriand'r #Bruce Wayne #Titans #dcu #DC Comics panels #batfam #Cam posts #Cam reads comics #Dick and Donna #tennis

Tim's toxic trait is that he calls himself a 90s kid when he was born in 1999

#tim drake #red robin #robin #batfamily #Dick barely considers himself a 90s kid and he was born in 1991 #its just his horrific/brilliant music taste that says otherwise #I made Dick a playlist on spotify and its so embarrassing that I have to exclude it from my taste profile #like Spice Girls kind of embarrassing #Katy Perry even #Tims other toxic trait is that he wears sunglasses inside

The Robin 1991 mini is a 1980′s martial arts action thriller that a plucky superhero sidekick has been dropped into as the audience surrogate figure. Like you could just have Tim be a teen visiting family, or a young martial artist coming to Paris to learn from a teacher there, and change nothing else, and you’d have a movie that dozens of iterations of used to fill VHS rental stores.

#former DEA agent CLYDE RAWLINS wants to AVENGE HIS FAMILY #deadliest woman in the world LADY SHIVA seeks greater and greater challanges #ex British military officer KING SNAKE leading French branch of Hong Kong criminal organization #planning to UNLEASH A DEADLY WW2 PLAGUE #plucky teen TIM DRAKE caught up in the dastardly plot #when he tries to save a girl from a gang that she's actually THE LEADER OF #it's a cheesy 1980's martial arts action thriller!!!#it is!!!#I kinda want a poster of this #DC #Batfam #Robin 1991 #Robin I
