Compared to Dick, Jason, and Damian, Tim’s not the most popular. ![]() In a sense, it’s as if DC Comics went for the easiest option. What will his role be in the DC Comics universe after we get a story of him coming out to the rest of the BatFamily? And even years down the line, fans have received nothing worthwhile.

However, turns out, these readers and DC Comics were on the same page. It wouldn’t be the first time a comic book story had queerbait-y subtext. So, certain readers hoped Tim finding himself would equate to him coming to terms with his sexuality. The current story has been focusing on Tim finding himself. Certain readers thought something was up with Tim during the first chapter of “Sum of Our Parts” ( Batman: Urban Legends issue 4) due to Tim acting a bit weird when meeting a friend named Bernard. ![]() The revelation about Tim’s sexuality came via Batman: Urban Legends issue 6 in part 3 of writer Meghan Fitzmartin’s story “Sum of Our Parts”.
