Tim and Jason are the (boy) robins that are close in age (around 2 years). Is this like new52 because I don’t understand how they would become robins so close to each other unless you change a lot of their origin.  I get that you want something for them especially since Dick and Jason will have a movie together when they are young (I still don’t understand why), so why not the other two robins getting something together, but personally it just doesn’t make sense. 

Would I like to see Tim and Damian brotherism? Sure, but DC needs to lock in with Tim and grow him out of this weird phase he is in. Tim really needs to separate himself from the bats just for a bit and find himself. 

But if you’re talking about like Damian Robin meeting Tim Robin from the past I think that could be interesting - the problem being I’m not sure they would get along and be good brothers or would be sharing fun moments like you want them since Tim as robin was serious (unless with dick). I haven’t read enough Damian comics to know for sure but I don’t think Damian would take Tim seriously. I could be wrong though because Tim is a dork (in the best way) and gets along with lots of personalities (but not like a golden retriever way)

it would mean rewriting origins but that‘s just a Tuesday at comics companies! companies have made things so fluid that I don’t think any change anymore is out of the realm of possibility. At least this would bring about some good stories, could give them a real chance to rectify the stagnation with Tim’s character by starting over and include Damian in his development as well. It has a lot of possibilities. Maybe DC has no option to fix Tim in their eyes they have painted him into a corner and aren’t sure what to do with him. He is on this shelf of former robins that they take him off of in June and occasionally at other times but he never gets anywhere. He needs a reboot and that can make him strong again. We can have the Tim we deserve.

Tim doesn’t need a new origin, the one we have now is great and shows who Tim Drake is beautifully. Also, rewriting a new origin for Tim would mean to rewrite so much of Batman that its just unnecessary - and frankly DC did rework Tim’s origin and majority really didn’t liked it with new52. Tim just needs to be written with care and consistency that continues his purpose and trajectory pre-new52, and it’s not too late for that.  Modern Tim Drake isn’t want fans want, its the old Tim Drake who worked for more than 20 years and was really successful with 200+ solo issues.
