if I were to make a reverse robins AU I want to make Red Hood Tim actually be worse than Jason (imo)

worse because Tim as Red Hood doesn’t kill, he just maims his victims so badly that they’re alive but barely recognizable. Tim thinks death is a blessing, an easy way out and that’s why he doesn’t do it

it’s also a way for him to be like “erm actually I’ve never killed someone” to Bruce (if it’s to Damian there’s the added “which is something you can’t say”)

there’s also a lot less pretending that this isn’t just an elaborate away of getting revenge and saying fuck you to Bruce

ALSO also Tim’s attitude towards Jason being Robin would be different imo (but I ain’t getting into allat rn)

[4lectric]

One thing I can never get behind is Tim killing in any reverse Robins aus or the like.

And by that I mean to point out that Tim is more anal about the whole "no killing" thing and Bruce and Cass combined!

Even at his lowest in RR 2009 he still refuses to kill Captain Boomerang! When met with an evil (and murderous) future version of himself, his response is threatening suicide, to avoid such a future from ever becoming.

If anything, a reverse robins Tim would be resurrecting people left and right, bringing loved ones back as a method of torturing the batfamily.
