I read the first two issues. Didn't really care for it. Of course, I've never been a Tim Drake fan to start with.

No, I'm talking about the fact that he's named after a restaurant chain.

Actually I'd never heard of the restaurant chain until recently when one opened near my house, so it's more the opposite for me. When I drive by, I see the logo and immediately think of Tim. The thing is, that logo does look the same except for the O being replaced by one Tim's.... throwing thingies.

No, he is named after the type of bird, a robin redbreast, or red robin, as is the name of the restaurant taken from the song "The Red Red Robin Goes Bob-bob-bobbing Along," named for the bird. There are actually people whose last name is Batman, and yet Bruce Wayne wasn't just choosing a random surname, he was taking a title in reference to an animal, just like the title Red Robin.

I like Tim and the Red Robbin costume enough to separate them. I'm enjoying the series too.

You reailly seemed to take his joke a little serious.

I had Red Robin frozen burgers and I wasn't impressed. Are their fresh burgers better?
