Line 18:
** Jubilee from the Marvel/DC crossover.
** In the Red Robin series, Lynx III.
* [[Depending Onon the Artist]]: Tim has been drawn differently by multitude of artists in his 20+ year history, but there are a few constants in his appearance: spiky, gelled-up hair; average height and a slim body type.
* [[Grade School CEO]]: For a time after Bruce's death, Tim Drake (as one of his legally adopted sons) had significant control over Wayne Enterprises as one of its owners. He is apparently still a co-owner along with his father and brothers, despite being a teen.
* [[Hollywood Nerd]]: Despite having interests in [[Dungeons and Dragons]], [[Blade Runner]] and computers, he's a generally attractive and well-adjusted teenage boy. In fact, later on in the series he has seemingly dropped all of his geeky hobbies.
Line 48:
* [[Lamaze Class]]: Disguised himself as Alvin Draper and accompanied Steph to birthing classes when she was pregnant.
* [[Off to Boarding School]]: One of the arcs in [[Chuck Dixon]]'s run. Tim gets sent to Brentwood Academy by his dad who is worried about him being a rebellious and secretive teenager.
* [[Parents Walk in At Thethe Worst Time]]: In Robin #40, Ariana wanted to have sex with Tim, but he told her that [[Let's Wait Aa While|they weren't ready]] and ended up just hanging out together on the couch. Her uncle walked in on them and saw her still in lingerie, got the wrong idea and chased him out of the house.
* [[Rape Asas Backstory|Attempted Rape As Backstory]]: Both Ariana and Stephanie had a near-rape experience in their childhood, and both confessed it to Tim. It's no wonder that Tim has the '[[Let's Wait Aa While]]' mentality in the first place...
* [[Retcon]]: Stephanie's death in ''War Games'' -- it turns out that she was just hiding in Africa.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Arguably played between [[Batgirl 2000 (Comic Book)|Cassandra Cain]] (Batgirl II) and Tim shortly after ''War Games''. Also, with Wonder Girl after the death of [[Superboy]] (Tim's best friend and Wonder Girl's boyfriend).
Line 57:
* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: starting from ''War Games'' on Tim experienced his girlfriend's death, his father's death, his stepmother's [[Shrug of God|possible death]], his best friend's death, his other best friend's death, and all capped off by the apparent death of adoptive father and mentor Bruce Wayne.
** And then [[Death Is Cheap|all but his father and stepmother returned.]]
* [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save Thethe World]]: A major component of the series before Tim grows out of it.

Line 67:
* [[Gambit Roulette]]: In issue #12, Dick saves Tim in the nick of time from falling out a skyscraper. Later in the Batcave, Dick questions him whether he had planned it all along, and Tim replies with a: ''"You're my brother, Dick. You'll always be there for me."''
* [[Guile Hero]]: the only Robin to have inherited this particular repertoire from Batman.
