[QUOTE=LoneNecromancer;1309309]So are my eyes not working? Why's Damian not on the list? He ought to have a place ahead of characters who aren't even appearing in the DCU anymore.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that is strange. He really should have been on that list because he's still being written about whereas some of those on the list have yet to make a reappearance in the DCU or they are only marginally connected to the Bat in the first place or, in case of Helena B., they have no connection to him at all currently.

Well he does have his fans you know. :p

which surprised me since nobody in this forum seems to like him and only want him as a villain.

That's true but I'm not one of those that wants to see him as a straight up villain. That plot line's a dead end for Jason and got old really fast in the previous continuity.

Batman should not really be on this list because their is no comparison in term of true popularity. All these characters fall under the Batman title and their is only one true Batman. There will always be replacement Batmen but the longest run you could ever do without Bruce is Morrison's run which fit perfectly because Dick was the original and only Robin for 44 years. While people want to see Tim, Jason, Cass etc. become Batman, at this point it would just be looked at as treading the same old territory regardless if they act different.

It was much worse a while back. His own book and then Arkham Knight seems to have swung things the other way.

BTW If Bruce counts he's my number one pick and Alfred is number two. Just clearing that up as usually when I think of the Bat Family I consider Bruce kind of outside it, or as the founder.

That`s an exageration. If you count the posters, the majority leans towards him more in the anti hero camp than villain. Much more. Some aren`t even voting.

Indeed, as I noted in another thread Jason Todd as Red Hood is one of my current favorite comic book characters (number three on my list behind only Bruce Wayne and Peter Parker). So he does get some love around these parts. lol

People shouldn`t even be surprised. One of the best DC animated features in years, cameos in Young Justice and Teen Titans, his own comic, multiple apperances since the reboot and now a major plot act in the Arkham series.

I voted for Barbara Gordon because currently, her ongoing comic is the only one I'm following since I got back into DC late 2014 with her redesign/new story direction. I also liked Batgirl's animated counterpart in Batman: The Animated Series, and her revamped look in The New Batman Adventures was one of the few design changes I liked more than the original series design.

I think it's a shame that the poll only allows a single favourite to be voted for. If you could, say, vote for your top 5 characters in order and have them score points accordingly it'd probably change the shape of things considerably. For instance, I voted for Dick Grayson, because he [I]is[/I] my favourite Bat-family character, having followed him from the Bat-books to the Titans and to Nightwing and back to the Bat-books, but for me he only wins by a hair's breadth from Bruce.
The original circus version of Jason wouldn't have made my top 5, even in less crowded times, and nor would the pre-death reboot version, but the current back-from-the-dead slightly bitter antihero version would definitely be in with a chance of competing for the 3-5 slots.

[QUOTE=TsukiSentinel;1312777]Yah it makes no sense for Dick to be beating Bruce. What's the reasoning behind that?[/QUOTE]
That's simple. Dick might be the most fleshed out character DC has ever created.

This is an impossible poll! It's Sophie's Choice.
Past Wonder Woman, the Bat characters are some of my favorites and some of the greatest in comic book fiction. I like in unison! ;) (Okay, I chose Batwoman just so one of the women received a boost.)
-
Dick Grayson. He is my all time favorite DC comics character.
-
I voted before I realized Bruce Wayne was an option. I would change my vote to him if I could. One of the best superhero characters of all time, if not THE best.
