Underrated Bat-Family Detective? [Poll]

[dietrich]

Uh... can someone tell me why people think this is a "gag" or "joke" thread? Or that it was made in bad faith?
How? Because I put Bruce and Tim there? I was trying to be comprehensive in choice, but whatever I guess.

Bruce and Tim are the two bats that are rated as detectives. this might be why it's puzzling that you would put them in such a poll alongside options like Cass. Imagine a best fighters ion the DCU poll that includes Steph brown? That's a joke. Steph kicks arse but she isn't rated for her fighting skills.

You make the choices and brackets fair and rational.

I thought it was silly including them while simultaneously omitting other members of the family from this comprehensive list of yours

Uh, who else these days, as of the first half of March 2021, is still actively considered "Bat-Family" that wasn't included?
Aside from maybe Alfred, though he still appears to be R.I.P. . . .

You'd have to ask km_sus (who created the thread / poll), but is Riddler really part of the "bat-family"?

. . . This poll asks the question: who is, in your opinion, the most underrated detective in the bat-family?

This poll is not asking who the best detective in the family is - but who in the family is commonly regarded as less skilled then they actually are...
