Tim Drake Gets The Identity & Team He Always Deserved in DC Fan Art
A new piece of DC fan art gives Tim Drake, the third Robin, the identity and team he deserves. While Drake has had something of an identity crisis over the past decade, fan @kalhuset has provided Tim Drake with not only the perfect new identity, but a brand-new team called the Outsiders, made up of former teen sidekicks such as himself and Connor Kent.
Tim Drake is best known to fans as the third person to take the mantle of Robin.

Since his return, Tim Drake has won fans back over, reminding them of why he was one of the best to ever be Robin.
