As a gay man who was a teen in the 1980s under the Christian Conservatives and Reagan, I can easily relate to how Tim Drake's sudden realization was both natural (as natural as a superhero comic can be) and human. you know, usually from early on that you're different, but not how. Then your friends start talking about girls, like Chrissy on Three's Company, or Athena vs, Cassiopeia on Battlestar Galactica TOS. But you see that yes they are pretty, but nothing more. Then later on, a touch, a friend helping you up off the floor when fell from playing some sport, or when you just tripped over your own two clumsy feet. Then suddenly the world makes sense.
For me that moment came early, when a guy from the grade above me said you did good in that school play and patted my back. That was my light bulb moment.
In college I was in the unofficial Gay Student Union. We had to meet off campus grounds. Word of mouth let others know where to meet. I met guys about ready to graduate and get married who already had their light bulb moment, but couldn't be who they were.
When started going to clubs, I made friends with a group of older men, men the age I am now and older who were just now embracing who they were. They all had been married and didn't say anything until their wives died. They loved their wives, but hated themselves for lying to them. They just needed to tell their story to someone young so that we wouldn't make that mistake.
Tim has had his light bulb moment and is not going to hurt Spoiler. If they get back together she will know that he may fall back to Bernard or another guy, and he will know he can tell her. He won't just break it off with her and start dating some guy.
As real as life in superhero comics can be, he's made the right choice and will be stronger for it.

3 histoires avec Robin

Tim Drake (Red Robin) ne remet en question. Il se demande qui il est, s'il est un Robin, un bon Robin. Il s'interroge sur Batman, l'ampleur de sa tache, le côté vain de la croisade de la Bat-famille.
Heureusement, il y a de la légerté car les histoires restent centrées sur les ados super héros Bart, Cassandra, Conner, Stephanie (l'ex de Tim).
Mon seul bémol : je n'aime pas quand, dans le comics, le bulles sont colorées. C'est mauvais pour les confort de vue à terme. Mieux veux mettre une icônes dans un coin de la bulle pour montrer que la pensée est issue de tel ou tel personnage.
