Once we go past those two-we have a variance of usage that is derailed at times by management, fanboys, comic book stores politics and toxic comic book environment.
Tim, Conner, A version of Supergirl, Cassandra Cain, JSA gang, Steel, Guy, John (to a point) and Kyle-ALL held books.
Jaime, Ryan & Jason Rusch get books.
Then came the politics of DC management and a toxic comic environment mainly to POC legacies. That went down the line derailed and ruining many legacies.
Nightwing and Supergirl survived it better than everyone else.
Others got put in the hands of folks who did NOT care for them (Jason Rusch) and others got deleted (Wally, Cass) and others got buried in horrible books that some how SOLD (Tim Drake and his generation in Teen Titans and lesser Young Justice). Yet even more had to take a backseat to someone else (Green Lantern and Flash) and some never got another shot despite having success with a solo (Steel) or had their books ruined (Batwoman). And those sent to replace the above were met with even MORE pushback-some justified (Wallace West) and others not (Nasir Dr Fate, Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz).
A TON of this mess is on DC COMICS for fanning the fan war flames for derailing too many characters for PETS and certain writers.
Miles worked because Marvel did not let the inmates or toxic part of the fandom ruined him. Peter Parker is the breadwinner of Spider-Man. Miles will NEVER take that from him. However Marvel UNDERSTANDS that when they look at the MONEY Miles brings in.
DC was on that there can only be ONE nonsense.
