In Part 1, which debuted in Batman: Urban Legends #4, Tim reunited with his old friend Bernard. Their dinner at Bincy’s Bar and Grill was interrupted by Chaos Monster, who knocked out Tim and kidnapped Bernard to be sacrificed.

During the rescue mission, featured in this week’s Urban Legends #6, Bernard mentions to Robin that he wishes he could’ve finished his date with Tim, unaware that he’s actually speaking to his love interest. A few pages later, Tim goes to see Bernard and things are clarified.

That’s not the end of Tim’s story. His journey continues in Batman: Urban Legends #10, releasing in December.

Earlier this year, Marvel introduced the first gay Captain America by way of character Aaron Fischer.
