Re: A Lonely Place of Dying
I never argued that Tim was spoiled, I'm showing you that Tim being 'wealthy and educated' is something that was touched upon more than once, and that was in fact part of the very way he was introduced to the reader.
My point about the Robins is that the rich Robin was treated in a significantly better way from those that weren't. It's not just about the Robins, either. It shows in the difference between how Babs, Helena and Kate Kane got treated when they took a Batcostume. One of them didn't have to overcome Bruce's resistance. Oh, it's the one that's from the same social background as him.
Yes, it's probably incidental. No, we're probably not supposed to read much into it. The fact is, 'Oh, Jason was lower class and her turned out badly, and then he was replaced by Tim, who came from a good family the same side of the streets as Bruce and who did very well as Robin' leaves a strange impression.
