Tim retiring from being Robin is correct. It's the most correct natural step in his character because Tim has tried multiple times in the past to retire from being robin / a vigilante and him making this decission for himself and good character writing.
what isn't good character writing is the REASON for him quitting because his entire argument is contrived as hell and honestly so extremely weak.
tim quitting because he doesn't like 'lying to bernard'
you know, the bernard who KNOWS TIM IS ROBIN
the bernard that ISNT FUCKING SUBTLE ABOUT KNOWING TIM IS ROBIN
THE BERNARD THAT TIM AND DAMIAN HAD THIS ACTUAL CONVERSATION IN FRONT OF WITHOUT A MOMENT OF PANIC AND WORRY
BULL. SHIT.
I would buy this reasoning from Tim if DC hasn't gone out of their way on MULTIPLE INSTANCES to show us that Bernard knows about Tim, and Tim should LOGICALLY KNOW BERNARD KNOWS based on both of their behaviors , but instead is retconing all of this to give tim a weak ass excuse to step away from being robin when THERE WAS BETTER AND MORE LOGICALLY SOUND REASONS FOR TIM TO STEP AWAY.
TIM IS ONLY LYING TO BERNARD BECAUSE DC CAN'T FUCKING DECIDE IF HE KNOWS BERNARD KNOWS OR NOT AND IT'S A BULLSHIT REASONING FOR HIM TO RETIRE.
