Gotham Knights: What we need from each member of the Bat-Family

Tim Drake: Robin

If we were going to rank the Bat-Family’s best fighters, Tim Drake is probably going to be one of the last on the list. That’s not to say he’s weak, it’s just not his biggest concern or his greatest contribution to the team. But there’s one thing that Tim Drake has over everyone else; his creative genius.

In Detective Comics, Bruce gave Tim a seemingly unlimited amount of money and charged him with making a new base Tim called The Belfry. Batman groaned at the idea, but let it happen. Among the things Tim created was a training room that used Clayface’s mud and an alarm system that was second to none.

In the trailer, Bruce said that the tech in the Belfry was outdated. That wasn’t a throwaway comment. The writer immediately thought that this was a reference for Tim Drake fans. Tim could very well take the Belfry and turn it into a new version of the Batcave. It’ll have similar technology, but updated. We need this in Gotham Knights. Someone who’s going to help create new weapons, upgrades to their vehicles, and who knows what else. Tim will be crucial to the flow of the game. Speaking of weapons, Tim may construct some nonlethal armaments for our next character.
