the fact that all of you think it changes anything is freaking depressing and ridiculous.
IT is one word.please,just ignore it.Maybe he didn't want disrespect for the one who previously died.Makes more sense than Jason todd dying and batman (apparently) cares (cares so much that he gets a robin 5 seconds later,and great respect tim,taking the mantle robin in less than 5 seconds,no wonder jason todd is pissed).
Not when you actually use your brain
look at it this way einstein
Tim always being Red Robin is crap because it negates the very thing that made the Red Robin persona special. It was To Tim what Nightwing is to Dick and what Red Hood is to Jason. It was Tim's ultimate expression, him finally utilizing his full potential following a path that walked the thin line between hero and anti-hero. With Tim immediately taking that mantle, it removes most if not all the gravity behind it. The explanation of Tim taking it to "set himself apart" is crap because Tim was always light years apart from them. One of Tim's saving graces was that he was the slightly stiff sweetheart of the Robins, now he's an obnoxious dick measuring tool who wants to be Robin to make himself feel better. He was the smart one with a non tragic past who became Robin not because someone killed his mommy and daddy but because it was the right thing to do, because Batman needed him but didn't want to admit it. He also had way more leeway than the other Robin's, taking on his own missions he had his own Rogues gallery!?! Something Dick didn't gain until After he became Nightwing and something Jason has NEVER had. But now Lobdell's reasoning is "well, he's different because he was always Red now!!! A-hyuck, a-hyuck, a-hyuck".
