Also how Williamson or other writers use Jace may be very different from how Ridley will use him. Ridley is writing him right now to establish and build up a fully formed character with his own life and motivations....Williamson and others just needs a Batman while Bruce is off the table and what better one then the one who is being established as his own man.
Just because Ridley probably wants to keep the character grounded doesn't mean we won't see Jace in a giant hero group shot in an event in the future, its just going to happen.

So weird to think about how he won't have the faceplate anymore. It's his schtick! I guess all things come to an end, like Tim Drake as Robin. Or Kyle Rayner as Ion. Or Conner Kent being dead.
Kind of counterproductive to hype up a black Batman but then put him in a costume where you’d never know it wasn’t just Bruce under there. I’m assuming that’s why they got rid of the faceplate. He wasn’t the first either way, Jason Todd wore one during Battle for the Cowl.

The campaign of terror continues as a mysterious serial killer brutally murders New York City Police Commissioner Becket, in the process exposing ugly truths about how Becket ran his department. Batman finds himself caught between a police department “hit squad” that wants to execute the killer, and a populace that’s beginning to see them as more of a folk hero than Batman himself.
