Tim's in a bad position because neither DC nor the fans actually want to embrace Tim's role among the Bat-Family which distinguishes him from the other Robins, and it's that Tim is arguably self-destructive/suicidal and a major daredevil. He's a freak. Remember, he's the only Robin who WILLINGLY CHOSE TO BE ROBIN despite coming from a normal and stable ordinary life beforehand. Comparisons and foiling was done between him and The Joker for a good reason. There is genuinely something fucked up about Tim Drake.

The Robins kinda need a self-destructive daredevil to round everything out, considering they're all different facets of Batman when you think about it (and by extension, facets of The Shadow). Someone has to be the Houdini in the family.

>Dick Grayson: campy, flamboyant, funny and colorful. The performer.
>Jason Todd: violent, brutal, pragmatic, and scary. The gunslinger.
>Tim Drake: hyper, self-destructive, creepy, (perverse?), and suicidal. The magician.
>Damian Wayne: expert prodigy and spoiled and socially retarded/autistic. The ninja.

If it were up to me, Tim would be the one willing to do shit like set himself on fire, end up in fights against scores of people or death-defying scenarios where he's chained to a missile while drowning and he's got only ten minutes before a bomb in his head goes off. Some real Joseph Joestar shit.
