IS ROB (TIM DRAKE) GAY OR BISEXUAL?
For s, Batman and Rob as a ncept have been the subject of hateful jok and homophobic nuendo. He stated their relatnship, which was always pated as paternal, was “a wish dream of two homosexuals livg together. DC survived the ics purge, but they ma chang to appease the homophobia of suburban Amerin parents.
But gay jok and nuendo persisted about Rob, so DC turns Dick Grayson to a ladi’ man on the level of Bce Wayne. In a sense, by makg Tim Drake bisexual, ’s an versn of the homophobic panic that forced DC to make the origal Rob “extra straight” as a rponse.
When Kate Kane h the scene a rebooted versn, DC liberately ma her a lbian as a statement agast the homophobia that precipated her creatn the first place. Now, tth be told, many have advertently been promotg the ia of a Rob ( general) beg gay for years om slurs to ignorant jok and even nuendos.
