Batman Family Popularity Census

[Jcogginsa]

The goal here is to see which of the Bat family are popular here.

For the poll: Vote for every character that you like, not just the one you like most.

Another one of these.

It's sort of hard to respond for me.

There are some characters who I generally like (or have liked), but recent versions of the character and/or recent writers put the character(s) on my "avoid at all costs" list at present.

Tim Drake is a good example. I use to enjoy the character when he was originally introduced, but he lost much of his personality and uniqueness as a result of the New52. Then Tynion tried to restore some of that at the start of Rebirth, but went waaaay overboard in seemingly making him one of the smartest / most important people in the universe. (I still suffer from whiplash even thinking about that.)
However, if the right writer comes along, I could find Tim tolerable / likable again in the future.

Damian (except when he is with Kid Jon): He's often written as too much of an OP Gary Stu for my liking.

[Katana500]

Tim, Kate and Harper are the only three I don't really like. Not that I want them gone or anything. Just don't feel too much for them.

I wish we could see how views change based on when people started reading comics. I reckon the majority who started reading with New 52/Rebirth like me are more likely to dislike Tim than people who started in say the 90s. I also reckon Duke will be a lot more popular with people who started more recently.

This is the only poll thus far where the leading character is not the most popular

[bat1987]

Its always been like that on this forum.

Its always been like that on this forum.

Indeed, our views are seldom representative of the general public. If you took our consensus on most subjects and used it as the basis for your product decisions you'd probably quickly go broke.

[The tall man]

Bruce should not be in the poll, I consider him outside or separate from the family. Sort of like Batman and the batfamily, he is on a different level than the others. So with that in mind I would think Dick would get the most popular award.

Can I vote for Cassandra twice?

Can I vote for Cassandra twice?

if only

[K7P5V]

Obviously, My Top (2) Two votes went to Grayson & Todd...





My next two votes went to Batman & Commissioner Gordon (truly enjoyed Gotham's Trinity of Gordon/Wayne/Dent):





My final vote went to Other (Still a fan of the Quesada version of JPV's Azrael):

Being OP applies to the entire batfamily and he has way too many character flaws to be considered a Gary Stu.

[Avi]

I enjoy most of the bat family in some way or form, but I limited myself to those that I buy comics for and like in most incarnations/interpretations. Though that has changed over the years.

From the above mentioned:
Dick Grayson
Cassandra Cain
Stephanie Brown
Duke Thomas
Selina Kyle

Others: Helena Wayne, Helena Bertinelli, and David Zavimbe.

Dick Grayson
Barbara Gordon
Selina Kyle
Some versions of Bruce.
