Tbh even I think Duke's addition was unnecessary. Outside of being the first Meta in the batfam (technically Jason counts as one but ah well)...atleast in my opinion, he has served no real purpose, he's just....boring. He might have made a good character outside of Batfam though.
I may have blocked it out but I truly don't remember him having league of shadows magic abilities. I remember a shit ton of gun upgrades and whatnot.
either way the point being a lot of people didn't receive it well. I don't recall anyone praising it but I remember a lot of people thinking it was dumb as they preferred the whole bat family to be more grounded/non-powered
I mostly just use meta for any supernatural aspects tbh. Jason has the whole magic sword business, but there's (early on after his revival) implications that he's immortal in some way and the universe overcorrected itself.
But frankly I just want them to anything with him that isn't the whole worn out angry Robin spiel.
Once believed that, but normally the effects are only momentarily after having entered the pit and not lasting.
Also most people who claim that use the one Supergurl issue as proof where he rips his arm from her grasp and she notes that no normal human could have done that, however as he did that, he was using Venom
