Thoughts on Maps from Gotham Academy joining the Batfamily?

I think she's awesome, but I'd rather keep her with her own crew (with Damian visiting, but not overpowering them - they, as as group, should not revolve around him). I definitely am not intererested in her forming more that very casual connections to rest of the Batcrew. I wouldn't mind her meeting Jon (kid!Jon), Kathy, and Maya, though.

I especially don't want her fail in her missions or fall into the angst-pit so many heroes frequent. She should be upbeat 95% of the time.

Agreed, angst would make her OOC

Oh I already count her, but technically, no, I prefer her growing up to make her own team with firestarter Olive Silverlock if she still has her power and the runaway Damian.

Is Black & White an AU? This seems like too big of a development to happen in a satellite book instead of Batman or Detective.

Pointless with out Damian

Feel like these kinds of prestige anthology projects are almost always out of continuity.

^All of this^

Maps is better off in her own personal space, separate from the non-stop melodrama that is the Batfamily. That's just not the kind of character she is. She's perfectly fine as just a friend that Damian occasionally teams up with.

Maps is great, but she fits better with the Gotham Academy kids than she would with the actual Batfamily.

I'm just stoked to see any of the Academy students show up. It's been too long! That book rocked.

I really like Maps but I agree with other posters who say it's pointless without Damian. Also the Batfamily is way, way too big as it is.

Suren and Colin too!

Suren and Colin too!

I like Suren, but Colin didn't make much impression on me. The storylines he was present in were ones I didn't enjoy. I mean, I don't object to him, I just don't care if we ever see him again. Even if he was the first friend.

I'd say Colin was more of a fleshed out character than Suren. Colin is also unique as a DC Hulk type

Unique and "a Hulk Type" don't exactly go together, IMO. I'll grant Suren was a old story, too (evil dad who doesn't care), but I just enjoyed the story/run he was in more, and thus enjoyed the character more.
