How do you feel about Duke Thomas?

[KrustyKid]

I have heard mixed reviews about this character and was wondering what the general consensus is in regards to Duke. While I do find him rather bland, I am willing to give him a chance. How do you guys feel about him?

Stop having him complain about stepping on the field or that he is Robin and Robin does not need a Batman without any training process. Dick even though introduced in once issue in 'Tec 38 is clearly stated as going through a long training process before Batman said he was ready, Jason went through a training process, Tim went through training with Batman and Dick Grayson, Damian went through training before becoming accepted as Robin by a seasoned Dick Grayson Batman. They have shown little humbleness or logical drive in favor of an impatient kid who arrogantly thinks he can handle the top threats with zero experience. This is the same I was pre-made with all the skills needed to be a hero with zero training that killed Harper Row's chances of catching on.

I'm willing to see where the stories take him and I like him just fine. None of the poll options really fit for me though. I don't dislike him but I don't love him either and I'm not sure the middle option is accurate to my feelings either.

One of the biggest reasons I'm happy that Snyder isn't writing the main bat book anymore.

[Uncanny Mutie]

I voted "too early to tell," because he couLd still be salvaged if they speed up his training and make him more interesting (does he even have a codename yet, or just that ugly training costume?). If they don't do something interesting with him soon, though, I'm through with him.

...DC should improve that character.. and stop with his creator ego..

-he is better than the former robins.. Damian was trained by the league of assasins.. how to overcome that?
-The true heir of the mantle of batman(even existing better heirs), the most recent batman ally..

is an overrated character.... Is impossible for me not to hate this... With Cassandra Cain, I can understand for his past the reason of this and because many people see her as the supreme batgirl...

I have not voted yet .. my vote would DISLIKE HIM.. batwing seems more interesting than him.

The longer he goes without doing anything notable, the more unbelievable it's going to be when he finally does.

[The Whovian]

Just another redundant character. I really dislike him.

I wasn't aware there was a deadline to this.

Depends on who's writing Duke and how he's being used / misused.

Well to detract from the typical fanboy mentality, i would say give the character time to grow. Most young people are overeager, and ambitious, why would this young man be any different. Further more why are some people trying to use that to say he's a worthless and can't-shouldn't be used. The thing I'll say is where the heck can he fit in at?? the batfamily is so darn big as is.
