Duke is an example of King's lack of respect and care. Duke was supposed to be part of it that was before King discovered the will swallow any crap base known as shippers. Once he did plans changed. Dude is smart and ambitious Duke is bankable This romance is so Selina in now the support character.
I doubt King ever wanted to use Duke my guess is Synder wanted that to showcase him before his solo. Jason,Dick and Damian have had less panel time but they've had more weight than Duke. The fact that he's no longer living there and it wasn't ever addressed shows how much King is thinking about him.
Even Gotham Girl has been shelved for future filler arc in favour of the more crowd pleasing romance.
I don't much care for GG, Duke has got a title and this romance is a welcome change so I'm in favour if this direction. I don't want Damian or Jason guesting too much in this run because I didn't quite trust King with them. Damian will get a fair shot so long as Dick is part of the story because King likes that duo but Damian and Selina or Damian and Bruce ? no
Jason he should never be allowed to touch.What he did I can't forgive.
Jason does suffer from a dumbing down or being the butt of the joke in bat books. I love snarky Jason but he's fallen into a trap where that seems to be all he does.
