I've been having some Robin!Bernard thoughts and here's what I think:

I am not well versed in the timeline of Tim's time as Robin, but you know how in some versions he ends up as joker junior?, well, make that happen while he's still in highschool with Bernard and Darla

This could happen before or after Darla's death, but my thoughts are after it happened

Let's say, Darla dies and Tim gets kidnapped, Bernard is having the worst months of his life, he just lost his two best friends and is having problems dealing with the trauma of the shooting

Then, for some reason, he discovers Tim's identity as Robin and, by extension, Batman's identity

He's so angry and worried and sad that he just straight up goes to the manor to confront him

He essentially yells his way into the operation to find Tim and, despite not wanting the Robin mantle, gets it as a form of protection, which is to say, he gets training

He used a literal hammer to smash a hole into the wall to get to Tim, so a literal hammer he gets there too

One of my favorite fics about Tim and Bernard involves Bernard being really good at driving thanks to his uncle, so I'm in favor of including that in this au in favor of giving him something that distinguishes him of the other Robin's

Also, the idea of Robin!Bernard driving Batman around like a madman while B is clutching those seats for dear life is just too funny to ignore

As I said, I'm not aware of the whole timeline of Tim's time as Robin, and less of Stephanie, so I wouldn't know if they could both be Robin at the same time, if they were, they could team up to cover more terrain and help find Tim faster

If Stephanie and Bernard did meet at the time and both helped in the search for time, I like to believe they would be friends

Wherever they find him before or after the jokerization is completed is up to you

English is not my first language so I might have made some mistakes, feel free to add your own thoughts!
