    Default The extended BAT Family

    I’m trying to recall all the heroes that would be part of the Bat family. I haven’t read an ongoing bat title for several years so I don’t know all of them.

    Here is who I do know:

    Batman / Bruce Wayne
    Duck Grayson / Roin / Nightwing
    Barbara Gordon / Batgirl / Oracle
    Bat woman / Kathy Kane
    Bat - Gurl / Betty Kane / Firehawk
    Bat woman / Kate Kane
    Robin / Tim Drake
    Robin / Jason Todd / Red Hiod
    Damien Wayne / Robin
    Batgirl / Cassandra Cain
    Batgirl / Stephanie Brown
    Batwing 1 / don’t know
    Batwing /Luke Fox

    I’m sure I’m missing some. Additions??

    Made a few edits. Some were quite important (like Flamebird instead of Firehawk), others because of my own issues, mainly done in bold.

    Betty Kane has been Bette for a while now, and her latest identity is Hawkfire.

    "I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"

    "*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."

    Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!

    I may think of Harley Quinn as a Bat-connected character, but not as a member (extended or otherwise) of the "Bat Family", and I also think it's a bit too soon if either Ghost Maker or Clown Hunter deserve the "Bat Family" label.

    (Man-Bat is a character who has been more of a Bat-Family member way in the past, but for at least the past ten years or so his status in my mind has been a lot more questionable.)

    hmm well the Bat family right now is pretty different from the one you remember. if you are looking for all the characters that have been considered the Batfamily between now and Post-Crisis, I think everyone has you covered so far but as for who compose the roster of the current Batfamily/active Gotham landscape let's start here:



    so this is pretty much the current Gotham cast and likely who DC will be focusing on in Gotham for the time being. based on this, following would be considered the modern Batfamily

    Batman/Bruce Wayne
    Catwoman/Selina Kyle
    Red Hood/Jason Todd
    Nightwing/Dick Grayson
    Oracle/Batgirl (Prime)/Barbara Gordan
    Batgirl/Orphan/Cassandra Cain
    Batgirl/Spoiler/Stephanie Brown
    Robin/Damian Wayne
    Signal/Duke Thomas
    Red Robin/Robin(?)/Drake/Tim Drake
    Huntress/Helena Bertinelli
    Batwoman/Kate Kane

    pets:
    Batcow (I think he still shows up sometimes)
    Titus
    Ace
    Goliath

    then we have The Fox family who are currently going through their own developments and are very much Batfamily adjacent right now; but I will say that Batwing/Luke Fox is still tentatively considered Batfamily. I'd also include Bluebird/Harper Rowe as tentatively considered Batfamily because she quit for a while and has only recently started making a comeback.

    Azrael/Jean Paul Valley should still be considered Batfamily but he has vanished so who knows.

    then there are those who are close allies or affiliated but (at least for me) wouldn't be considered Batfamily:
    Ghost-Maker
    Clownhunter/Bao Pham
    Harley Quinn
    any non-Gothamite on The Outsiders
    Grifter
    Jim Gordan
    Leslie Thompkins
    Julia Pennyworth
    Man-Bat
    Clayface

    then finally we have people who were part of the Batfamily but have fallen off:
    Bette Kane/Firehawk
    Kathy Kane/Batwoman
    David Zavimbe/OG Batwing
    Orpheus
    THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki

    also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.

    currently following:
    • DC: Red Hood: The Hill
    • Marvel: TBD
    • Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

    You forgot Jace. The new Batman, the dude who's standing in front of Red Hood.

    He's in front of Grifter, he's to Red Hood's side.

    I guess if we're looking at overall positioning...
