tim's fall from the skyscraper in red robin #12 is so interesting to me. so after tim tells ra's it doesn't matter whether or not ra's overtakes WE because it's tim's legacy now, not bruce's, ra's pushed him out the window where tim has an interesting inner monologue before blacking out. in the next panel we see dick catch him and take him back to the cave, where he fills tim in on what happened and asks him how he knew he would catch him. tim replies in a way that heavily implies that he knew dick would catch him at the time, but there's a lot of contradicting evidence.
first of all, tim was not even sure ra's would attempt to kill him.
he says " if you kill me now," not "when." he is gambling on a hunch that ra's won't waste his time trying to kill him because it's no use anymore, but he's also fully ready to die, because he doesn't plead for his life. all he does is present the facts.
let's also take a look at this monologue here.
this is the monologue of somone who thinks they are about to die, there is a tone of finality here. his expression on the bottom left panel looks bittersweet, like he knows he's about to face his end but he's happy that he will have died protecting bruce. plus the panel next to it shows tears coming from his eyes. why would he cry if he knows he is going to be saved?
finally, the conversation with dick.
again, the phrasing is key here. he doesn't say "i knew you would be there for me," just "you'll always be there for me." he doesn't quite answer the question here. rather than simply a reassurance to dick that tim wasn't going in thinking he would die, i think it's also deeper than that. tim is telling dick that there aren't any hard feelings between them, that they're still brothers and tim still trusts him.
in my opinion, everything was a huge gamble and tim was willing to die, but it's kind of up to interpretation since the comic doesn't outright state anything other than that one panel with dick, which in of itself can be interpreted in different ways. what i do know is that tim still remains the only member of the batfam that was a robin to have not died so he still remains on top RAHHHHHHHH

Lucifer = muppet
he is so silly but look at that face
He just reminds me of a Muppet, like come on. You gotta see it like:
look at that Muppety man
I can not be convinced otherwise, plus I'm pretty sure this is already something the creators knew/intended, he looks like a puppet!
They made him a puppet!
