Does Bernard Dowd Know That Tim Drake Is Robin? (BatSpoilers)

The new Tim Drake: Robin series has seen Tim struggle with revealing his secret identiuty to his boyfriend Bernard Dowd.


The new Tim Drake: Robin comic book series has seen the second-youngest Robin out on his own cognisance again, but this time with a twist. His new boyfriend Bernard Dowd, his first boyfriend but one of his oldest friends, is now part of his life. And, in an old-fashioned fashion, is keeping his identity secret. Not that it hasn't weighed on his mind, such as the first issue a few months ago.
