That's a picture of Tim from the end of Batman: Prodigal. I wanted something bat-related, but happy.
Timmy the muse is something else entirely. He's actually more Lassie-related. The little adventurous boy... who is constantly falling down a well or something. Little Timmy needed to be rescued pretty much weekly, and yet it never stopped the poor fool from going out into the wide world and messing with things probably best left alone.
But he's also related to Timmy, the lab assistant from the Mr. Lizard show-within-a-show on Disney's Dinosaurs. Every episode, Mr. Lizard (a take-off on Mr. Wizard, but I'm not sure that show made it to your neck of the woods) would do a science demonstration. He'd set things up, go hide behind a heavily reinforced wall, and then have his assistant Timmy do the final step. There'd be a huge bang, and Mr. Lizard would cheerfully call out, "We're going to need another Timmy!"
Tim Drake... I like him well enough. Actually, come to think, he's probably my favorite Robin. Even if I do like Dick Greyson, too. But I hated the transition from Batman: The Animated Series to The New Batman Adventures. Art suddenly sucked, plots were suddenly very generic. And 20ish Dick was suddenly replaced with 9-year-old-looking Tim, whom I mentally tagged as "Little Timmy" (with Lassie in mind).
