My question to you guys, given Hill's tweet, how would you guys feel about Duke going more toward Snyder's intial idea of becoming a hero independent of the "Bat"? Do you think that's where Hill could be steering him?
I personally would be onboard with that idea because (i think I mentioned this before) i think at this point his relationship and proximity to Batman has been a hindrance to his growth. He's been in Batman's shadow long enough, at this point it's evident in that space no one wants to touch him because DC needs to keep the focus on Batman. That's not to say he should have no relationship with Batman (at this point pretty much no one in the DC universe doesn't touch the Bat nowadays) but I think if Hill uses Outsiders as a vehicle to have Duke create more distance from Batman and positions him to have more relationships and connections to the greater DCU (and take some of those damn bats off his suit) he'd be better for it.
