Here’s several interviews from Marv Wolfman to make some of those points a little more clear, and show that I’m not making it up. In story, this is very likely due to Dick being the one to hold Timmy during that night. As Tim’s creator Marv Wolfman, wanted him to love Robin, and fantasize about being Robin specifically. Letting Timmy make the connection, figure out Batman and Robin’s identities, and growing an even farther fascination with Batman and Robin. Such as a trick that only (I assume) one person Dick’s, and therefore Robin’s age could do. Having these reoccurring nightmares allowed a 9-year-old Timmy Drake to remember specific details of that night. I just found that really odd, and made me wonder if that was meant to mean something originally). And I’m only saying that, as on the back of at least the softcover of his origin story it still says he’s 12-years-old, but in the end, he did not lie. (If you look closely, you can also see that Tim draws Batman fan art and hangs it up on his wall, and also that evidentially Tim still looks identical to how he did at age 9-years-old as 13-year-old (possibly 12 if he lied about his age. That event had gave Tim PTSD and nightmares for years, but it’s also what allowed him to see Batman for the first time. Symbolism?) the day the Flying Graysons fell. He met a young Dick Grayson (Jim Aparo is awful at consistently drawing kids, Dick looked fine in a previous panel, I have no idea why he looks 20 here. This toddler here is Timmy Drake, and this is how his tale begins. So I’ll just recap the important parts of it, before just going to the character moments that can show us what little Timmy is like. Which I’ve covered in quite some detail in another post, which I may link if I can figure out how to do that. I think the easiest way to begin to explain Tim and his characterization, is what I can gather may be the most obvious way to it. Batman’s smiling again and look at Timmy’s toothy grin!) I’d…just treat it the same as my softback. (I don’t own the hardback cover, but man, if I did. I’m just choosing to use the origin, because it’s the closest way to show what the intention was for the heart of his character. That way you can get the ultimate understanding of Timmy Drake! Or at least the basics.Īlso, as a note, and what may be obvious, this is his origin, meaning that he’d obviously develop more as a character, which would lead to the degree of some of these traits being changed, or written by other writers that focus on some more than others, or even just made to be out of character. So that’s what I chose to go off of for this post that goes over his origin, motivation, personality, and looks. His stories were made to show us who Tim Drake was at his heart. And while obviously he’s had character development. That way I figure is the most concrete characterization you can get for Tim. So basically, the man that has no better authority on Tim Drake. By talking about his characterization as written by the man that created Tim, with help from various artists, Marv Wolfman. Today I want to attempt to make the most quintessential Tim Drake post I can manage. When you look up who created Tim Drake you’ll see Marv Wolfman and Pat Broderick, but that’s just because Pat Broderick drew Tim’s initial cameo as a creepy looking toddler cause he couldn’t draw a toddler.Īnd I’d rather not believe we’re supposed to take this as what Tim is suppose to look like, when he looks much more different during his origin story. Jon can't believe his eyes and Damian can only look on bemused as their older, throwback counterparts tell them to step aside and make room for Robin and work was lauded on Twitter, receiving over 3000 likes and hundreds of retweets.Tim Drake’s Characterization as per his Creator. Who else would they run into at that time and place other that Conner Kent, dressed in his beloved leather jacket. This renewed focus is celebrated in a new piece of fan art from recently shared on Twitter. A seeming time displacement has caused the Super Sons, Robin and Superboy, to find themselves in Hawaii in 1998. Meanwhile, Jon Kent has been welcomed back by Superman as his brother, and will soon star in Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow after winning DC's Round Robin competition. Tim Drake recently came out as bisexual, and is set to rejoin the Dark Knight in the Batman comic's new era. Now, however, fans are showing renewed interest in the two heroes.
