After 30 years, DC Comics has now changed the Tim Drake Robin into an LGBTQ gay bi-sexual character with the latest release of Batman: Urban Legends #6 anthology issue.
The comic book, from writer Meghan Fitzmartin whose Twitter account says she âwill write for pie,â sees Robin come out at the end of the issue while accepting a date from Bernard.
The two were battling Chaos Monsters where Robin saves Bernard and then Tim Drake decides that âyeah, yeah, I think I want thatâ regarding agreeing to go out on a date with Bernard.
The Tim Drake Robin has had girlfriends in the past, so it remains to be seen if Robin is going to be gay or be bisexual and continue having female love interests in the DC comics.
Marvel Comics has gone a similar route with characters such as Iceman, Cyclops, and Wolverine.
