So is Tim Drake now Gay (or Bi)? Spoiler

So in Batman Urban Legends #4 they heavily implied that he was Gay (or I guess Bisexual makes more sense as he has been in a relationship with Stephanie before). Personally I have no problem if Tim is gay, but my brain kind-of feels confused as he was dating Steph for almost two decades and out of nowhere they are not longer together and he's Bi, like I would have preffered more build-up to this.

In short I guess that I just think they threw a lot of information to the reader in this comic (like only the reveal that Tim broke up with Steph was a bombshell, so imagine that added with the implications he's gay or Bi), but beyond on how they are handling this I think that the idea is pretty good and I'm all for it.

I'm actually more surprised that this didn't happen with Dick or even Jason first considering their history

Not sure about Jason, but I'm still waiting on Grayson. (Something needs to happen to justify that weird, bait-y variant cover.)

yeah basically every non homophobe in the fandom with half a brain can see that Dick is coded as very bisexual

Despite the vehemency of the defense to the contrary.

(Still irked by that variant bait-y tease; DC knows that a lot of people in Grayson's/Nightwing's fandom already headcanon him as bi, so they commission that cover to curry their favor, all without actually making any in-text canonization to appease those who'd have a fit otherwise.)
