I love Tim and I love angst, but Red Robin bores the crap out of me. I mean, when Action Comics writes Tim better than his own title, something ain't right. His characterization is off (both in art and writing) and the plot is careening around into stall-territory. The characters they're introducing are blah.
So, it's not just you.
And I totally agree about Barbara! Where's the teasing, mischievous Babs of olden days? She can be serious sometimes and humorous others! She's morphed into an embittered authority figure here.
