Notes

TIM DRAKE aka ROBIN III aka RED ROBIN (DC COMICS)
DC doesn’t have a prominent queer teen the way Marvel does with Wiccan and Hulkling. And Karolina Dean. And Julie Power. And Anole. And Graymalkin, and Xavin, and Striker. Basically all of Marvel’s teen team books have at least one gay or bisexual member. DC has Bunker. They’re a little behind the trend.
Yet DC has a chance to leapfrog all of Marvel’s gay teens by outing a prominent member of the Batman family. Making Tim Drake, one of the former Robins, gay would instantly give DC the most high profile gay teen character in comics. Batman himself will never be more than conceptually gay, but there’s no good reason for Tim Drake to be straight. He’s young enough to still be coming to terms with his sexuality (though there’s actually no upper age limit on that), and in his twenty year history he has never had a truly significant relationship with a woman.This would be a controversial coming out, to be sure, because a whole generation of readers regard Tim as someone they grew up with. That actually makes his coming out more realistic, and would give those readers the experience of coming to terms with a friend’s sexuality. For readers who defiantly prefer their Robins straight, there’s still the older one. And the younger one. And the other one.
Previous to DC’s line-wide superhero reboot, a lot of readers wanted Superboy to be gay as well so that he and Tim could be a couple. I’m not against the idea. But I also don’t object to a bromance that remains a bromance, and a gay/straight bromance would be a refreshing change of pace.
