Tim has been the third Robin, but not the last. But he's never evolved passed that name, unlike Dick, Jason, or Stephanie. Even after Damian came into play, Tim had to start going by Red Robin which... that's not much of an evolution. Sure he got a different costume here and there, but he's still saddled with being another Robin, despite no longer being that direct sidekick.
First, he was a Robin... finally with pants!
Then he's a Robin... minus the green!
Now he's Red Robin, which is like a red Batman! (insert joke about Daredevil here)
Now he's a bird guy from the late 90's.
"Eh, just slap another R on him. It's fine."
Finally in Young Justice #8, when facing off against his Earth 3 counterpart, the most obvious solution:
New costume going forward too
So there ya go. Tim finally has an identity of his own... which he had to steal from his evil self from another dimension.
I always wondered why later writers changed Robin to being a bird reference rather than a Robin Hood one as it was originally intended.
I'm just saying you could do better.
And I'll start hating only if you make me.
I like Orphan.Should have stayed Red Robin(pre new 52) or give Drake a better costume.
Can Cass get her Black Bat identity back? Orphan is trash.
Aren't male ducks (drakes) pretty rapey?
LMAO
When he said dangerous bird did he mean greek mythological dragons or is he serious that he is referring to ducks?
He's going to embrace a name based on the duck but not have any green on his head? That's some bullshit.New costume going forward too

I guess as far as secret identities go, using your real last name as your fake name is some crazy like a fox thinking.
Better than being an Wally west fan.Being a Tim Drake fan is like constantly being pushed off a pier.
I can't argue with that.
If you trust the pro-duck propaganda of a duck-centric twitter feed.
I decided that Robin didn't sound cool enough so I decided to name myself after the most dangerous avion creature - the fucking Duck. That's right bitches. Quack quack.

Should've gone with Cardinal and kept him in red.He should've taken the handle from his future self and called himself Savior.
No idea. :O I've been so bad at keeping up since New-52 and Rebirth.
I'm just struggling to understand why your code name would literally be your last name. Doesn't seem very reasonable for a hero in the Batverse.
Oh, Bendis wrote this. After what he's done to Jon Kent, yeah this makes perfect sense.
Think DC would be much better off if they dropped the guy. Marvel, stay away too. Let him stick to the realm of independent comics which is what he does best.
You should be ashamed for making this joke.It's a pity Batman indoctrinated him against using guns, because I have it on good authority he'd be a quackshot.
Really needs some green in there. Especially since it's both thematic and an unclaimed Robin color. Jason has red and Signal has yellow.
