B-List Characters From Other Franchises Who Can Be Made Into Batfamily Members

[dietrich]

Mar'i Grayson.

Dick went and made a grandpa out of Bruce!

And a husband out of Damian

And a husband out of Damian

… uh what?

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

… uh what?

people ship Damian and Mar'i.

But wouldn't she basically be his niece?

[Jackalope89]

But wouldn't she basically be his niece?

It comes from Kingdom Come, when the two were about the same age and Damian (Ibn at the time) was going out on a date with her, much to Dick's chagrin.

Not that I agree with it, but its where it came from. I'd much rather Damian be Uncle Dami than "Hello, Damian...".

[uchihafanboy]

The Family is already overstuffed.

All that needs to be said. We already have enough and let's end at that. No more

Nothing to doing with shipping referencing an interesting fact about the character and her arc.

In that universe doubt Mari would ever call that Damian Uncle and no way would Dick approve of his kid calling that Damian Uncle.

[bat39]

I doubt you can call her a B-lister now, but I think Black Canary kinda qualifies as a Bat-family member in the loosest sense, because of Birds of Prey. And also, the original Black Canary, and presumably the current one as well, were originally from Gotham.

[9th.]

Raven, always wanted to see her perched on a gargoyle, disgruntled at the grimy underbelly of Gotham.

Powered or un-powered, I wouldn't mind.

She needs to be apart of the Birds of Prey so she can be allowed to grow up

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

legally but not biologically.

Granted it would depend on how they met/know each other. His initial Elseworlds story had him grow up separately from Batman and meeting him as an adult which is also when he met Mar'i. It's less creepy than a different universe where damian was raised in the batfamily and was there when she was born etc.

She also wouldn't legally be his niece, because Dick was never legally 'adopted' by Bruce. Dick was Bruce's ward, not adopted son, in a legal sense.

I'd argue that that shift hasn't done Black Canary any favours, and it was done without any thought on the character at all. She just was forced along when Barbara Gordon was put back into the Batgirl suit and got stuck back into Gotham.

[regg215]

All my personal opinion, not sure how well any of these would actually work but I would want to see:

I think Starfire would be really interesting to add to the batfamily, she has a lot of connections already but seeing her get training from Bruce to reach her full potential or operating in Gotham could really be interesting and would raise her profile a bit.

Hawk and Dove would be interesting and would have nice synergy with the titans show.
Would also like to see Hourman in Gotham maybe as mentor figure to Bruce.

[Ultimate Rogue]

Ah yes, good call!

[oasis1313]

I could dig Ambush Bug as Nightwing ‘s annoying sidekick.
