tims emancipation must have looked so crazy to the average person... like first tim drake ("wait, the milk carton kid from no mans land?") gets adopted by bruce wayne ("i still think he killed that lady--his ex girlfriend." "you remember how his first adopted kid died? in a terrorist attack overseas. Allegedly." "i thought he had another kid before that..." "did he kill that one too?????" "no that ones a cop now i think" "yikes"), bruces biological kid shows up ("yeah wayne had like a fling with the ceo of lexcorp i heard" "BRUCE WAYNE MPREGGED LEX LUTHOR??????" "no remember the woman who took it over when luthor ran for president?" "oh yeah... whats she up to now" "maybe he had her disappeared like he did with his kid"), "bruce wayne" starts running his company into the ground, and in one fell swoop tim files for emancipation, takes the company over, and announces his "engagement" to the daughter of i think the coo of w.e? not sure what lucius' official title was at that point and can't be arsed to check. but all this happening less than a full year after being adopted in the first place.... from an outside perspective this looks like the most bonkers hostile takeover of all time
like actually no wonder tim was a tabloid darling for months, its a shame the actual execution made no damn sense
