![]() You’re trying to push this drag Queen version of one of the greatest literary antagonists of all time, and want him to be Tim’s new nemesis. You had a decent concept going on here, but leaning into the obsession with detective novels is bringing this down. Then the bad guy reveals his name as “Moriarty”….wow….how original. ![]() And Tim escapes them by literally throwing up on one of them….honestly kind of how I feel about this book most of the time. This guy is obsessed with being Tim’s nemesis and throwing all these illusions at Tim. So while the art is a massive improvement, the writing still sucks. Y’know it’s sad that I have far better and far more nuanced portrayals of queer characters in “The Golden Girls” a sitcom FROM THE 80’S than a comic made in 2023! Okay…where was I…oh yeah. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?! YOU HAD SOMETHING GREAT THERE, BUT INSTEAD YOU GIVE US THIS BORING PREDICTBLE PLOT?!?! That means the portrayal of Bernard in all of the previous issues was all genuine. Aaaaaaaannnnnnddd it’s not actually him….it’s an illusion caused by the real villain…James, Tim’s landlord……. It make Tim question even more while he’s in the confusing time of his life! Bernard actually has a personality, and is starting to become compelling! And his godawful portrayal of a queer character was all a facade to hide his true intentions. And the reveal…GASP THE VILLAIN’S BERNARD!!! Oh my god! This is SO interesting!! It changes the whole dynamic between them. gasp A new artist, that doesn’t draw Tim like a 14 year old with a thumb for a head! Someone splashed some water on his face as he hangs upside down chained up and bruised. But then something happens…Tim wakes up and he looks…different. So much for being trained by Batman, considering how often people keep sneaking up on him. ![]() Then he finds Bernard and someone sneaks up on him again. My god, he grew past that self-doubt YEARS AGO, this isn’t pushing Tim forward it’s just bringing him backwards. Tim’s keeps doubting himself and how he has “imposter syndrome” about being Robin. Tim, you have saved Bernard before, you’ve saved other from far more dangerous circumstances, you’re more confident than this! Then Dick starts talking to Tim how it’s always difficult starting a new phase in life…Tim knows this…he’s done it before! Several times in fact. This Tim is a whiny little bitch complaining about everything. He has gone through helping saving people in danger several times, loved ones have been kidnapped before, including Berna rd! Tim did show plenty of concern in the past for those put in danger because of him but he always maintained a cool demeanor while on the inside he was filled with self-doubt and guilt. Now, it’s no secret I’m no fan of Bernard but the way Tim acts here is character regression. This comics starts in midst of the search for Bernard and Dick tries to calm Tim down, and Tim slaps his hand away. Pleeeaaasssee (Please go away), Just make him ple-ease go away (timber), Plleeeaaaaseee (timber) Wooooah (timber), anyone else (please), wooooah (this book is crap) Alright one of the first things we see is Rossmo drawing Nightwing……shudders. This book is crap, because of TimBer What does Tim, see in him? It’s not because Bernard’s a guy.
