in light of the recent mainline batman developments, tim drake retiring from vigilante onto the life of a gotham district attorney or private investigator has always been my dream. however i’d love to see how vigilantism impacted him not just mentally, but also physically.
he spent most of his life in a poorly lit cave in front of giant computer screens for hours after hours, without counting all the new lens tech bruce was prototyping during his early years, i’d like to see him adapt to wearing glasses (especially since he canonically did have a pair of prescription glasses but he didn’t wear them regularly)
i know that fanfics kinda ruined it but i’d love to see the missing spleen be reprised as a canonical thing and see how he actually manages it both when it comes to eating habits and preventing illnesses and stuff. living with a splenectomy is possible but it comes with strict diets and a higher risk of infections, especially since tim’s spleen wasn’t really ‘safely removed in hospital’.
on the topic ‘bones and miscellaneous’, this is 100% self indulgent projection, but i’d love to see tim deal with back problems and joint issues from all the times he was genuinely freefalling from 100 floors high buildings onto literal concrete (how is this guy alive still. mystery of science). tim drake taking walks to help his poor joints and back, exercising in the morning and jogging. yeah.
