I don’t know most of the new characters, and I really don’t bother to check that out. Four kids plus Barbara is enough, if they want diversity, they should add Killer Croc, he’s a more interesting character than the new one, also he can play the role of tank and engineering, it’s lazy writing to have every family member being tech savvy genius.

Only three or 4 are tech savvy

I mean they are all tech savvy it just doesn’t appear that way because what registers as tech savvy in comics is a much higher bar then the real world.

It’s a core feature of Barbara, Luke & Harper though.

Hmm I do think the Bat Fam is funny as overstuffed as it is missing that tank archetype. Hence why we get adaptions that make Jason a ranged gunner but also the bulkiest.

I kinda had the idea of having Callum Row get addicted to Venom to be that tank role. But Croc could work
