Who are your favorite new characters from James Tyrion IV's Run?

[zvrk]

I will put all my emotional investment into Gardener.

[OopsIdiditagain]

I like clownhunter and punchline. I'm still on the fence with Ghostmaker.

[Celgress]

Punchline without question is my favorite followed (somewhat distantly) by Clownhunter then Underbroker.

The Gardener also looks interesting but there isn't enough known about her yet for me to like or dislike (beyond design).

[Shadowcat]

I read somewhere that the Designer was initially supposed to be a different, established character, but they decided to go with an entirely new character instead. Is that true?

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

I'm interested in them but I don't really have a favorite yet.

[sifighter]

So I guess we might be adding another name to this list.

What about:

Madame Midas
Instigator
Razorline
Kid Kawaii
Brainstorm

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

What about:

Madame Midas
Instigator
Razorline
Kid Kawaii
Brainstorm

I think they are fun villians. I'm curious how instigator became an alligator.

I think Ghostmaker and Harley Quinn's new partnership could help him take off. It would be cool if he pops up in her solo now.

Want to give it a bit more time before I cast my vote

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.

Went with Ghostmaker, Punchline, and Clownhunter. Definitely not Designer, despite how much Tynion loves him.

[phonogram12]

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.)

I think part of it is because that Tynion just wanted to get some nice fat royalty checks in the future in the event that they ever adapt any of his original creations into a live action tv show or a movie. I honestly can't blame him for that, either. Since these are corporate controlled characters, he certainly has no pull in deciding where they go once he leaves. He might as well keep his best ideas/characters for himself and make as much from DC/WB as he can. Pay rates from the big two are still appallingly low, so he might as well make as much money from them as he can.

With 35 people having voted now, Punchline is definitely gaining on Ghostmaker!
And Clownhunter is also rising in the numbers.

* Ghostmaker = 16 votes
* Punchline = 15 votes
* Clownhunter = 12 votes
* Gardener = 7 votes
* Underbroker = 6 votes
* Designer = 2 votes

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.

With 43 people having voted, Punchline has taken the lead.

What about Barbara as Oracle?

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