    Absolutely Bat-family: the stories where Batman acts alone can work if he is facing a low level menace (like the ones of the nineties animated series or the sixties TV show), but if the level of the menace increases, then he need the help of the family, because otherwise he seems almost an omnipotent being and this isn't good: in my opinion Batman is great because he is an human.

    There is an huge difference among write a good story and try to write a great one.
    «Heroism is not about being perfect or always winning, but breathing hope into the hopeless.»
    Batman's world isn't realistic. It's grounded in psychological realism… In real life, Batman's crusade would be a horrible idea.[…] But in the world Batman inhabits, it not only makes sense, it's absolutely the right thing to do.

    There are always ways to lone Batman stories in a universe with a Batfamily. I'm Team Batfamily though.

    Well, I think it's more nuanced than that. I like a small Batfamily (~4) as a supporting cast used in *some* stories, but I largely prefer solo Batman ones. They add some depth to the universe, but the ridiculous glut we have now subtracts more than it adds
    It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?

    Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

    Same.

    I would ideally like just Bruce, Alfred, Dick and Barbara, and maybe a second Robin (Damian, specifically Morrison's version). Kate Kane would be off doing her own thing. That's all.

    I'd actually prefer nightwing to be spinoff. Dick would be better off if he'd just visit the family not live with them.

    Same here.
    Batman is essentially Zorro or the Shadow and even those two did not act alone. DC's mistake is keeping all of the Robins around, some could retire. My Batfamily is Bruce, Gordon, Alfred, Robin, Batgirl and my favourite tale of all is Year One

    Just Batman with maybe Alfred giving some advice is good enough for me.
