Controversial Batfamily Opinions

[Aahz]

Tim's lost his family, so he doesn't have that status quo anymore, so now it's Luke's

He got it back after Flashpoint, so it could have easly been his satus quo again.
I mean nightwing is also back in Blüdheaven, despite that city was turned into an radioactive wasteland pre flashpoint.

Jason no longer kills, he's not interested in Joker anymore unless Joker starts ****, so Bao Pham now fills that role.

When I look how his story went sofar, Bao will also stop killing soon, and at some point very soon he will also stop going after the Joker (for the same real world reason Jason had to stop).
And they are still doing stories with Jason going after the Joker (Three Jokers and the Suicide Squad mini).

Calvin Rose is the one I'm genuinely confused. It's like they realize they can't really tie down Nightwing to The Court since he's much bigger than that niche so they make up a new character to fill it, the niche being "what if Nightwing is Talon"... and then he disappears too. Good job.

They still did a lot of Court of the Owls stuff with Nightwing, and at the time Talon was created Dick going after the Court of the Owl would have been probaly way bigger than what actually happend in his own book (iirc that was him moving to Chicago).

Maybe they don't bring Tim's status back because they've considered it

Then Bao's not gonna stick around very long. He's gonna disappear if he's not doing his namesake.

You know what... it's the other way around. They didn't wanna use Dick with Owls to make a place for Calvin, but after that didn't work out, they use Dick again. Maybe that's why they couldn't use Calvin again, they couldn't find a place for him anymore.

Now with Tynion leaving it will be anyway interesting to which characters from his and Snyders Run are going to stick around.

the only one that better stick around is duke

[Restingvoice]

Duke's definitely sticking around
Punchline's gonna stick around
The Gardener will stick around but more as Harley/Ivy supporting cast

I can see Ghost-Maker leaving Gotham immediately and forgotten ^^
Like, immediately. The moment the new Batman writer writes their first issue.
Unless they're a fan.

They seem to have planed something for the near future question is what happens afterwards, and if he will do more then just appearing once in a while.

What about Clownhunter?

[Restingvoice]

What about Clownhunter?

Uhh.. showing up in Joker related stories, repeating the same story Batman and Red Hood or Damian has until someone actually interested in developing him... or if they're lazy, makes him give up, or get killed by Joker.

[TheRay]

Batman's daughter could be brought in to the main timeline as "Breakout".

[Will Evans]

Batman's daughter could be brought in to the main timeline as "Breakout".

Huh? Did I miss something about Helena Wayne?

[TheRay]

Batman’s other daughter…

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

Batman’s other daughter…

Anastacia from Injustice comics?

[TheRay]

….yes……..……..

What about Clownhunter?

That's really going to depend on the next writer.

To me it feels anyway that for all characters appart from Dick, Barbara, Damian, Jason and Selina, if and how much they appear depends on the writers.

[Robanker]

In my reading, assume every new character is forgotten the run after next unless they appear. So far, Duke is the holdover that will endure. The rest? We'll see after the next writer. Usually they last at least one change before being dropped.

Unless they're a love interest. Then they die or turn evil.
