The alternate ending begins with Emmylou expressing regret and admitting that they wanted Tim to be part of their family. As she kisses him on the cheek, Tim is struck with an unexpected rush of feelings for the older and super-strong Emmylou Brown. For the next few years, Tim can't shake his crush on Emmylou, despite her being a villain and the considerable age difference between them. He becomes conflicted, wondering if it's strange to be attracted to a tough, muscular woman. A decade later, Tim is no longer Robin due to the traumatic experience with the Joker. Now a legal adult, he hears that Emmylou is about to be released from prison, having served her time. He decides to visit her to quell his lingering feelings and find some closure. Upon arriving at the prison, he is greeted by a changed Emmylou - still strong, but with a softer demeanor. She is surprised and touched by Tim's presence, and they catch up on the years that have passed. Emmylou apologizes once more for her past actions and tells Tim that her time in prison has given her an opportunity to reevaluate her life. Tim listens intently, realizing that Emmylou has genuinely changed for the better. As they continue to talk, he starts to see past her previous villainous ways and becomes more convinced of her redemption. As the sun sets outside the prison, Tim makes the decision to help Emmylou reintegrate into society once she is released. Tim's faith in her has a profound impact on Emmylou, who is moved by his trust and willingness to support her. Gradually, the two grow closer as Tim helps Emmylou rebuild her life. They are careful not to rush into anything, wanting to ensure that Emmylou is on the right path. Eventually, they can no longer deny the strong feelings they have for each other, and they decide to give their relationship a chance. Years pass, and Emmylou becomes an integral part of the team, using her strength to fight alongside Tim for the greater good. The two have formed a powerful bond - one that transcends their past experiences and unites them in their commitment to justice and love. As they stand together, high above Gotham City, Tim admits that he never thought he'd fall in love with a woman once considered a villain. Emmylou smiles, reminding him that people can change, as long as they have someone who believes in them. Tim takes her hand, and they leap off the rooftop together, ready to face whatever may come their way.
