Backstory:Born to rich parents, Tim was set up for a life of luxury. However, disaster struck Tim as the boy was only two years old. His parents were murdered in a robbery gone wrong, leaving Tim an Orphan, and the heir to Drake Industries. However, the board of Drake Industries kicked the boy out of his home, and put him into an orphanage, cutting him off of his heritage until the boy would turn 18 and become an adult.
Tim didn't really know any of this, but instead was raised at orphanages. At the age of six, he started to get into trouble, right around the time he started school. He was much smarter than the other kids, and were bored straight away. He got into fights with the other boys, either by sticking up for someone who was getting bullied, or by mocking one of the bullies for being stupid. Because of Tim getting bored so quickly with how simple the tasks given to him were, he was falsely diagnosed with ADHD, the pills he got would dull his senses, and keep him from causing trouble.
Well, that is, until the orphanage couldn't afford his pills anymore. He was eleven when his life would change forever. Five years ago. He was living in a run down apartment in downtown Gotham, being a runner for a few gangs to earn money. He picked up his street-smarts, his acrobatics and his fighting instinct on the streets. One night the Caped Crusader, The Batman was in Tim's neighbourhood. Tim, wanting to prove himself to his gang-friends, and to himself, thought he was gonna taunt the Gotham Knight. He tried to steal the wheels of the batmobile, while the owner was in another building, dealing with gangbanging thugs.
As Tim was taking the tires off of the car, he heard a light tap behind him, like a single footstep. And then he felt a tap on his shoulder. As the boy turned around, he was met with a punch from a slightly older boy, maybe two or three years older than him. The boy wore a green and red costume, a black cape, and a black mask covering his eyes. He was the boywonder.
Robin.Tim stumbled backwards, and then he dashed at the Robin. The two fighting on seemingly equal footing, however, while Tim was struggling, the other boy was laughing. Tim took many hits, his nose broke, the Robin shattered his collarbone and dislocated his shoulder. But still the boy refused to submit. And in a last ditch effort, he lunged at the Robin, and punched the birdboy in the face, knocking him to the ground.
Tim passed out afterward, and woke up at the Gotham Hospital's emergency ward, where he was being treated for his injuries. Sometime after, Batman would seek Tim out, and give the boy a proposal. Batman would train the boy, show him a better life, a better way of living. And in return, all Tim had to do was try his hardest. Tim was sent across the world for three years, Batman had no need for a sidekick, while Dick Grayson, the other boy, was Robin. Tim and Dick bonded over the years, and they became as close as brothers by the time Dick turned 18, an adult, he hung the Robin costume up, passing on the mask to Tim.
Now, Tim's been under the guise of Robin for eleven months, and he's ready for something else. To show to the world, and to Bruce that he's better than Dick. That he's good enough to become Batman one day. Making him a number one choice for the new team the Justice League are putting together.
How is this character different:I did the same thing that DCAU did with Tim. I removed Jason out of the continuity, and instead put his features, especially in terms of personality and backstory, into Tim's character. Besides that, I want to try a Robin who works more similar to Batman than what Dick Grayson did in the show.
