So like, nothing in canon has specifically said he knows, so presumably he doesn't.

But it's not unreasonable to assume that like... Bernard could have figured it out. The way he speaks to Tim in the scene you're talking about:

(Batman: Urban Legends #6)

Could easily be taken as either:

Bernard does not know Tim is Robin. Bernard is saying this to Robin because he knows Robin will be able to make it out of the fight- he's Robin. And since Bernard had been literally in the middle of dinner with Tim when he was captured, he doesn't want to leave Tim with no closure if he doesn't make it out of this. He wants Tim to know that it was intended as a date from his perspective- because ya know based on Tim's POV that wasn't established beforehand. He also wants Tim to know he'd helped him realize things about himself (presumably that he is Not Straight). With this interpretation, presumably those are the sorts of things Bernard would have broached later in their dinner had it not been interrupted, or at least that he wanted to tell Tim at some point- but this life or death situation made him rush to get it out to whoever would listen and be able to tell Tim so at the very least he'd know.

or

Bernard has realized Tim is Robin, likely he figured it out when Tim saved him moments earlier since he saw him up close. Bernard says what he says to directly communicate his feelings to Tim in case he doesn't make it out of the situation- But he phrases it the way he does because he knows Tim's got a secret identity that Bernard is definitely not supposed to know about, plus there's other people (the Chaos Monsters and the other kidnapped kids) around.

Now, in the following story with them, with the way Tim phrases things very vaguely when talking about going to see Dick for help dealing with Bruce, it seems very much so the case that Tim does not think Bernard is aware of him being Robin.

(Batman: Urban Legends #10)

So it seems like if Bernard does know, he has not told Tim that he knows- Tim is still in 'keep Robin things on the dl' mode.

Oh easy. I would give Jai his father's ability to siphon speed from objects/people, his father's ability to briefly pause time and I'd make him unmoored from time like his father.

What this does is it makes Jai the accountabilibuddy.

It makes Jai the Buffy to the speedsters.

By making Jai unmoored from time, you are giving him an immunity from timeline changes and the ability to know when a speedster is fucking with time. If a speedster wants to get rid of Jai they can't just go back in time and kill him as an infant or something. He's completely immune from any and all timeline changes. And let's say a speedster changes the timeline so that they are the king of the world now. Jai would essentially go to sleep in one timeline and wake up in another. He'd be perfectly aware of what changed.

The ability to siphon speed from people and objects gives Jai a buffer zone. Think 'The Turtle' but instead of an area where time moves slower, Jai would make an area surrounding him where kinetic energy gets absorbed. That means that the speedsters can't power through it. They can't throw objects at him or shoot him. He has a bubble around him protecting him from harm.

As for very briefly pausing time I think that should be the hardest thing for Jai to do and it should only be used in extreme circumstances. Also I think he should only be able to hold it for five minutes and then he'll pass out afterwards.

You've basically got a race of immortal, reality bending demigods and the only people who can keep them in check are themselves. Jai is a speedster but I want him to be a highly specialized speedster. He's the check and balance. He's the counterweight. The speedster hunter. He's an apex predator designed to take them out if need be.

But he isn't a supervillain. He's a really great guy and everyone is super proud of him. He maintains the timeline and he's more of a spy/covert operative than a hero but he does good work.

can you tell my crush I like him, passing notes in class type beat

I mean just the parallels alone of Barry, Wally and Bart being chosen to be the vessels for actual literal gods, gods who canonically override the free will and mind of their host, but instead of being overridden they merge together in a way that has never been seen before (although the gods do try to take full control):

And then they all won. Against actual literal gods, Barry, Wally and Bart won their power struggles. They remained themselves. They kept their personalities. Sure they had an insane amount of godly power and sure that changed things a little bit but they were still them:

And then they kicked the god's asses! They sent them packing! Barry killed death, Wally overrode Dr. Manhattan and the Mobius Chair's power/control, and Bart put the genie back into the bottle. And they did it of their own free will!

And the thing is: Barry, Wally and Bart were chosen for a reason. They're good vessels. They're immortal, ageless beings of immense power who already don't adhere to the rules of reality, time and/or space. They can handle vast amounts of energy without dying. They're the perfect vessel for a god because they already are gods.

Why else could they fight the possession of actual gods and win? Why else would they keep their free will when no one else had?

They all think it's love: Barry's love for Iris allowed him to fight back, Wally's love for his family allowed him to remain himself, Bart's love for Max allowed him to remain in control. And they aren't wrong, their love for their friends and family has always been what grounds them and keeps them... human.

And that's the thing, isn't it? They've shown time and time again that they have immense out of control power and love has always been their way of keeping it under wraps and staying human. The Speedforce is limitless in its power and they have to actively restrict how much power it gives them out of fear that it will strip away their humanity.

So when faced with being all powerful gods, all three of them know how to negate that. They know how to stay human. They know how to channel their love. They know how to limit their own power.

1) Wally trapping Hunter in a time loop and forcing him to relive his most traumatic memory for eternity

2) Wally freezing Thad in time. Making him completely aware of everything but unable to move and putting him on display at the Flash Museum

3) Wally throwing Vampire Batman into a nuclear reactor to experience 'eternal agony'

4) Bart throwing Superboy Prime into the speedforce and then just leaving him there. It would've been easier to kill him than it was to throw him into an inescapable void dimension guys

5) Barry brainwashing the Top to be a hero because he was too fucked up to be in the Rogues Gallery and Barry didn't like him

Like the time he actually stopped the Linear Men and let a man die crushed, cause it was necessary for the timeline to be restored back to normal, when Impulse saved the universe 🤩.

Also, he needed to become The Black Flash and being jumping in the time during the Flashpoint, basically he was killing speedster with a touch by absorbing their energy (at least killing Max, Johnny, Savitar and Jay from that timeline☠️), but everything was the will of the Speed Force, so Barry would be capable of undone the world of Flashpoint so everyone live🥹.

@natasharomanovofficial yes. Yes, yes he did

Picture this, a young preteen Judy Garrick shows up in the modern era. She's brash, she's inexperienced, she's uninhibited. She's just a kid trying to fit in and figure it all out and trying to have fun along the way.

And then you have Bart. He's older, he's wiser. He isn't the kid he used to be. He's grown in so many ways. He's entering young adulthood. He's trying so hard to forge his own path in life while balancing the family legacy. He desperately wants respect but not at the cost of having fun.

Suddenly, Bart's faced with a time displaced little kid. A time displaced little kid, who insists she isn't a kid, with the last name of his mentor. Bart's face to face with a walking reminder of everything he worked so hard to grow past and he's trying so hard to keep this kid alive out of respect for Jay but there's also some resentment there that Judy is Jay's real family. Not Bart.

Judy of course wants nothing to do with Bart. Who is this guy trying to tell her not to jump on power lines? Why did Jay say that she had to listen to him? It's so unfair. All he ever does is tell her to stay behind him. She knows how to fight, thank you very much.

The parallels. You gotta think about the parallels.
