    He actually was 28 in the Bronze Age. He celebrated his 28th in an Batman Family issue, and said "it's been 20 years since i was 8 and my parents died". When 18 year old Dick left for college he called Bruce "brother". It's weird and one of the reason i dont get Bronze Age Batman.

    What a bold thing to say in a thread created by one of Stephanie's biggest fans on this forum hahaha.

    But this is the most relevant post here in a while.

    Mother Panic's autonomy makes her more interesting, same use to go for Batwoman. Batman has more the enough sidekicks.

    We have a lot of instances where Nightwing and Robin interact, so I'd like to see Robin and Red Hood together more.

I think there's a lot to work there if they bring MP back into the main universe and pair her up with Batman.
    Check out my new action comedy comic Supermom. Superhero Voltra is out to stop her archnemesis from taking over the world. There's just one problem: she's pregnant... and he's the father.

    Huntress says hello. I do like MP but those exact themes have been explored in the Batverse before.

    Well, both are terrible fathers the last couple of years, so I can't say you're completely wrong.

    Alfred should've died (I think he might have before actually) years ago, and he should stay dead; whether the death was handled well or not. beyond being Bruce's dad (and Bruce's found family has expanded significantly) he hasn't really served a purpose that anyone else couldn't fill in a long time. DEATHS. NEED. TO. HAVE. CONSEQUENCES. There are 5 million and fifteen different afterlifes they could explore, you don't need to resurrect every character that dies if you wanna keep using them.
    THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki

    also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.

    currently following:
    • DC: Red Hood: The Hill
    • Marvel: TBD
    • Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

    I've always felt that if a death was dumb or not handled well it invalidates the need for it to stick. Of course, your mileage may vary on that.

    I mean...Alfred fulfilled a lot of roles in the Batfamily, so it's hard for me to imagine anyone else just coming in and fulfilling it exactly without some modification to existing characterization. He was basically everyone's dad in terms of the family dynamic, or even the cool and wise uncle, at least when the family was actually close and felt like an actual family.

    I think comics are way past the point where deaths can really have serious consequences. At this point it's only believable if it happens in a media adaption or Elseworlds.

    I agree no one else could fill the dad role for Bruce. I'd be more into seeing Bruce without anyone there for role. Of course, lost time that happened, we ended up with early 2000s Bruce, and I'd really like to avoid that. I can't say the entire family has ever been close since COIE. I mean, first Dick and Bruce were estranged. And Dick and Jason knew each other then, but weren't close. Then even when they weren't, Dick and Tim were close, but Dick and Bruce weren't (and there was a time when Tim did not talk about personal stuff with Bruce). Cass and Tim weren't close at first and I don't think Cass and Dick ever were. Then when Jason came back, obviously he wasn't close to anyone for a while. Damian and Tim usually haven't been. And only Damian and Cass have spent time with Duke, I think? Haven't read as much since New52.

    I think comics are way past the point where deaths can really have serious consequences. At this point it's only believable if it happens in a media adaption or Elseworlds.
    Agreed.

    I don't want Alfred to be dead, I just don't like way the role (and so many others) have shifted over time. And I don't like the deification of Alfred (though him dead may make that worse) that seems to come in at times. The idea that if he says it, it's true and correct. I have other issues, too, though, discussed elsewhere and mostly tying into Bruce's mental health, which, let's face it, isn't likely to improve long-term no matter who is dead or alive.
