Absolute Tim Drake Theory
Despite what happened in Absolute Batman #23... (Spoilers)
I still believe that the right-hand print on Tim's helmet is more than just a symbol of his d---h. I still believe the "Tim knowing about Jack Grimm's true nature" theory could happen. Like, he could actually not be d--d at all and was consciously aware of the plan to make Batman's life more miserable. And that being d--d to the public means that he would have more freedom to do his private work for Jack/Joker. This does not mean he would be completely evil. He could have been manipulated by Joker into thinking he was doing the right thing, or he could have known he was not doing the right thing but still doing it anyway to secure the man's trust and eventually end him once he found an opening. Like, he would still be working for Joker because he believed the end justifies the means. Or they might do a "Red Hood" on him, like resurrecting him and turning him against Joker and the Robins, or he would be resurrected but still be on Joker's side. Basically, I still think he would be back.
