#batman lore

Context:

Jack and Janet Drake have been kidnapped in Haiti and are being held for ransom. This is the arc where Tim’s mother dies and his father falls into a coma.

I know this is like an impossible thing because of things like reboots and Flashpoint and tbh honestly I'm just gonna ignore New 52 completely.

Like idk things in order, only just randomly. like things/events I know vaguely happen: Jason's resurrection, the earthquake stuff, uhh fucking no man's land?, cass arrives, Under the red hood happens, Tim gets the clench, steph becomes robin Tim is fired, gang war, Damian arrives, bane takes over gotham, Dick is batman, Tim goes on Brucequest, gotham war (derogatory), etc

in the 18th century, two members of a notable gotham family were murdered in front of their son who was placed into the care of another man

they were tim and moira wainright and their son was cared for my aldridge pearce

TW and MW murdered in front of their son who was placed into the care of AP

OKAY LETS GO THROUGH THE ROBINS-

Dick - There was a LOT of reasons Dick left being Robin. One was because Bruce stopped listening to him, but also because he realized he and Bruce didn't see eye to eye, and he needed to get away to figure himself out. (Revision version of Dick is "I was forced into this" but reality says "Dick was going to murder Zuko if Bruce liked it or not, so he had to learn to NOT-")

Jason - Jason didn't listen to Bruce BECAUSE HE WANTED TO FIND HIS MOM, went to iran, and was killed.

Tim - Tim was a great Robin, and Bruce ACTUALLY did Listen to him! Tim would tell him he needed to sit this out, and HE WOULD LISTEN! Bruce did have a few problems about ya know, Jason's Death, and would call Tim "Jason" sometimes, but yet, he got better. In the end, Damian was the one who tried to force himself to be Robin, Bruce said no, but after Bruce's Death, Dick forced Tim to get rid of the Robin Persona. (Not Tim's Choice)

Steph - I love Steph, but gosh darn it, she was Robin for 4 days and NO ONE LIKED WORKING WITH HER- SHE WAS FIRED!! Tim's dad learned he was Robin, and a week later, he died. Tim was forced to stop being Robin, and during that time Steph was Robin. Max she could have been Robin for a Week, BUT we know she didn't last that long, because Tim came back and even during Identity Crisis he was Robin again. A LOT happened that week.

Duke - Duke just got here.

Cass - Cass has never listened.
