DC Is Exploring Robin’s Sexuality In A New Batman Comic

This big moment came in Batman: Urban Legends #6, the latest issue of an anthology series packed with various stories about important characters in Gotham City. Among these has been “Sum of Our Parts,” A Tim Drake-centric story written by Meghan Fitzmartin and illustrated by Belén Ortega. The story saw Tim fighting a mysterious new villain who’d kidnapped Bernard, a childhood friend of his. Needless to say that Tim successfully accomplished this mission when all was said and done, but “Sum of Our Parts” also saw him struggling with his complicated feelings about Bernard, whom he hadn’t seen in years. There’s also a moment in the story where Tim, who’s suited up as Robin, and Bernard, who doesn’t know Tim and Robin are one and the same, asks Robin to tell Tim that he helped him realize his “true self,” and that he wishes they could have finished their “date,” i.e their earlier dinner.
