Since taking over the run from Tom King, James Tyrion IV has been bringing a lot of new characters to the Bat-Verse. Which have been your particular favorite so far?

I’ll say Ghostmaker now that he’s no longer trying to show he’s better then Bruce. When he first showed up he was something we’ve seen before “oh I’m the new hero in Gotham and Batman is a failure”, but now that he’s just Batman’s childhood friend who was there training with him and is now sort of his fight buddy and has something of a more fun personality then I would say he’s a much more enjoyable character.

Punchline is about a close second though, mainly because she’s useful in that we don’t have to worry about Harley potentially regressing in character so she fills a need with Harley gone. Although she definitely is interesting in her own right.

I dont vote but if i have to choose, my pick would be Clownhunter. Sure Ghostmaker is written to be more likeable but i feel Clownhunter has more use as a character in Gotham. A more civillian perspective. Batman doesnt need another crime fighting partner since he already has his manservants and Ghostmaker doesnt have a strong motive to stay in Gotham.

Voted Underbroker cause he just makes so makes so much sense as someone operating in Gotham. I wanna see more of him in his day job. Ghost Maker would be sound though. So fun seeing a friend of Bruce’s on this level who’s not a junior to him like Nightwing. Really interested in how he will play off Nightwing actually.

Not trying to be a troll but I don't care for any of them and none of them feel like an organic part of the Batman mythos. Tynion's OC creation skills these days are seriously lacking. (What's up with them all having the "-er" suffix? Lazy as heck.)

Too early. Give me about 6 months to get a better grasp on them. Odds on it’ll be a female character tho.

Well, this thread is now six months old, and Tynion's Bat-run will be ending soon.

With the Designer, he came across as a waste entirely. Just a plot point, really. Also, his overall design was uninspired (just a mix between Hush and Kraven the Hunter).
With the Clownhunter, I don't see the point in featuring him when we already have characters similar in concept like Red Hood and Anarky.
With the Gardener, I don't see the point in featuring her when we already have Poison Ivy.
With the Underbroker, he didn't leave much of an impression with me.

I think Ghostmaker has some potential but Punchline is the one to watch. I think her rivalry with Harley Quinn is going to be the thing that ultimately gets Punchline over for the long run.

What about Barbara as Oracle?

Her redesign is on point and I missed Babs behind the screen
