What is your bat?

[Frontier]

(In the interest of not spoiling discussion...)

We have the oldest robin, the acrobat, leader and friendly who with a charming smile usually leads countless women to his bed, winner of the best heroic butt, Dick Grayson.
The female bat who without being trained by Batman went to war against the criminals Barbara Gordon.
The second robin, the most complex of all, untamed, smart, nerdy, emotional and at the same time ruthless, a good strategist loaded with terrible experiences who crawled from his grave refusing to die Jason Todd.
The third robin, innate detective, the best detective according to many, emotional, loyal Tim Drake.
The last robin that is now giving Batman headaches is rumored to be heading for villainy, a trained boy, manipulated to be a murderer, the blood son Damian Wayne.

Comment, maybe you have another preference.

Bruce is my Bat. But out of the rest? I like Jason. I mean that's mostly because of outside media, but still.

I fully expect Dick to win the poll by a landslide though. (Also I imagine Bruce and Jason are equal to him in the great butt department, they just tend towards costumes that doesn't show that off like Dick does. But Dick is just more flamboyant like that.)

[Gaius]

Dick followed by Barbara and Damien.

[manwhohaseverything]

Dick, jason and damian.

[Güicho]

Batman - Bruce Wayne.

Most of the rest are derivative garbage, co-opting the only one of value Robin (Grayson's) one worth story arc, just recoloring with the latest trend or virtue signal of the day, so the next gen can tell themselves look it's new and edgy this time.
What if he was now a girl!
What if it was a handicapped girl!
What if he was killed! ...and then came back!
What if he was an Asian trained assassin!
What if he was a trained assassin turned out to be his own son!
What if he was a different color!
Also you left off the funnest ones, what if he was a group of international bat-friends!

[SiegePerilous02]

Bruce, but of those listed Dick and Barbara by a landslide.

[manwhohaseverything]

Batman Bruce Wayne.
Most of these are derivative distaff garbage, co-opting Robin (Grayso's) one story arc, just recoloring it so the next gen can tell themselves look it's new and edgy.
What if he was now a girl!
What if he was killed ...and then came back!
What if he was a trained assassin!
What if he was a trained assassin turned out to be his own son!
What if he was a different color!

Also you left off the funnest ones, what if they were an intentional super-fiends!

Actually, jason feels more like an outlaw gunslinger, than batpeople.

Dick for me. I love Dick.

[Sergard]

Bruce will always be The Bat, The Batman, The Detective, The Dark Knight, etc. but my favorite character that ever came out of the bat-franchise will always be Jason Todd.
I can't resist a good byronic hero when I see one.
Duke Thomas, Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain are excellent characters too.

[Flash Gordon]

Batman is Bruce Wayne
For supporting characters- Dick Grayson and Damien Wayne all the way!

[SixSpeedSamurai]

Bruce, Tim, Dick.

[married guy]

Dick Grayson for me. DC have shown that with a good writer with a strong idea he COMPLETELY works as Batman.
Close second for me is Tim Drake. Brilliant detective, and smart enough to know when he needs help.

[lemonpeace]

Duke Thomas and Jason Todd are my bats, because they aren't bats.

[Midnight_v]

Bruce.

There really isn't any other batman.


Of the family?

I really feel like Jason Todd an Dick Grayson are the most meningful members. Maybe it was all those years seeing that dead robin costume and what it represented.

I can tolerated Tim but if I'm honest there's that weird inkling that he becomes the joker someday. Thanks Batman Beyond.

Barbara Gordon mattered a lot more as oracle in my humble opinon, BUT I do think its silly for someone in the dc universe full of sci-fi tech and cosmic gods to be stuck to a chair so ymmv.

End the end they just took batman and made a bunch of robins out of his respective parts.

[captchuck]

I always go with the original idea. Bruce Wayne is always The Batman. Dick Grayson is always Robin. Aunt Harriet is always Aunt Harriet!
