Honestly Tim cheating has been blown out of proportion.
Tim Drake’s hasn’t actually cheated in his comics. He has been accused of cheating twice and was once surprise kissed by Steph while dating another girl after he told Steph he has a girlfriend. That being said, Tim having messy relationships is a defining character trait. He struggles to balance his obligations as a hero and a person; work life balance is not in his toolbelt.
He has never had a romance go well and he shouldn’t start now. He will forget your birthday, dinner with your parents, your favorite flower, and if you’re allergic to peanuts and he will not apologize. He’s busy saving the world.
Tim Drake shouldn’t cheat on Bernard. He should miss six dates in a row to save New York from a herd of ManBats and have a weird situationship with another hero where they play flirt for six months. But when they ask him on a date, he should say “sorry I have a boyfriend” and then dream about them in a totally homoerotic way that’s weirdly platonic.
Shoutout to the Jason Todd haters c.1988 they are everything to me <33

***Not a Jason Todd hater but I liked this one a lot too. Surprisingly insightful compared to most of the other takes
Dear Editor,
Don’t make a big fuss about Robin getting killed. Waste him, bury him, and get on to important things. Bruce and Dick Grayson should have been a team the whole time. Robin was a wimp. Don’t expect us to get all worked up. After you butchered Supergirl, we don’t care if there is a holocaust of all the DC heroes.
Life is cheap!

Dear Denny,
I heard some of what you are planning for “A Death in the Family” story line, including the phone-in number wrinkle and I didn’t want to take any chances whatsoever.
Kill him.
Your pal,

Dear Denny and Dan,
BATMAN #124 was important. I don’t think Felipe slipped. I don’t think anyone does. Yes, he probably deserved to die, but that really doesn’t matter, does it?
Jason has some thinking to do. If he lives, that is. If it turns out you decide to kill him, get a new Robin. I know a lot of people want Batman solo, but if he stays a brooding avenger forever, he’ll crack. He needs Robin. I’m not sure if that Robin is Jason, but Batman needs someone.
Sincerely,

"bluh superman is boring bc he has basically no physical weaknesses he's completely unrelatable" YOU FOOLS YOU BASTARDS YOU IDIOTS his weaknesses is that he was raised to THINK and ACT and FEEL completely human!!!! The whole POINT is to explore what happens when you take a guy who mentally is a caring and kind and decent and conflicted and messy human person and contrast that with him having the all powerful abilities of a god it's about the CONFLICT it's about the TENSION it's about the DOUBLE LIFE it's about wondering if you can theoretically spend 24/7 saving people because you don't have to eat or sleep or breathe can you actually justify having a job or going to bed or falling in love or living a life!!! It's about being well known as being powerful so your public persona can never once slip never be angry never trip up or else you become a symbol of fear rather than hope!!! It's about having to also keep yourself in check every day and having to keep yourself of two minds and having to explain over and over and over again that you're not interested in dominance you're not interested in power you're interested in justice and mercy and help. It's about no matter what you are always subduing some aspect of yourself either your mind or your body depending on which role you have to play!!! And all of that is JUST on the introspective level!!! Superman is one of the most fascinating characters ever if you think he's boring imo it's bc you're being boring about it
The fact that edgeworth’s office is on the 12th floor will never not be funny to me. There’s no way girlypop’s taking the elevator so is he like?? Just walking up and down 12 flights of stairs everyday ???
these fucking losers they think theyre so cool and awesome

“Damian is going to outgrow Jason”
“Look at his parents he’s going to be so tall”
