So then, Tim Drake is gay now. See? This recent revelation has been dealt with, both pro and con, to an exhaustive extent in other articles, videos, and so forth, so I won’t retread that here. Even though I wrote the character of Tim Drake for just over a year of his Robin run, he’s not mine. I didn’t create him. Through the retroactive legal magic of Work For Hire DC Comics created him, owns him, and can do whatever, in its corporate wisdom, it wants with him.
Since Bernard's comments about Dana take place during Stephanie Brown's tenure as Robin, I definitely noticed and was bugged about the change. I could definitely see the argument that "Bernard is overcompensating for his internalised homophobia", but...that's a lot of special pleading for a retcon that is clearly a retcon.
Honestly, you bring up and reasonable point worthy of discussion. Of course it's a little awkward that Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm aren't around to add their thoughts on the topic.
I think Chuck Dixon said the best. It's uncalled for, immature and who'll read that? Kids definitely won't. Then again, shouldn't this comic be for kids?

Heavens, I forgot you even existed.
And after this, I shall forget once more.
