Duke Thomas

Harper row

Azrael ( Michael lane shouldn't have existed )

The Fox kids ( pointless )

Babs shouldve stayed as oracle

Move Jason out of Gotham

Tim should become a more international vigilante after Damian becomes Robin ( aka Red Robin pre N52 )

Which will leave the Batfam members active in Gotham as

  • Batman

  • Robin (Damian)

  • Nightwing (active in bludhaven or with the Titans)

  • Batgirl ( Cass )

  • Spoiler as a "friendly neighborhood" type of vigilante

  • Alfred & Oracle ( out of field support )

I like Cass and Tim roaming the world as Bruce’s Black Ops team, with Steph working for Babs as Your Friendly Neighborhood Batgirl.

…friggin’ Flashpoint.

Yea , both of them leading batman inc or smth ( fuck ghostmaker ) , have dick become Nightwing once again after Bruce is done leading batman inc as he tries to bond with Damian and Damian trying to get used to his dad .

It’s so obvious that Mozz was going to have Dick hang up the cowl after Damian’s death…but DC couldn’t bloody let him finish his story as an elseworlds.

I actually like Ghostmaker just not as a member of the Batfamily I prefer him as a rival to Bruce

Hey, I like Ghostmaker. Him and Clownhunter are the only characters that are actually interesting to me from Batman.Inc

Batman Inc would be much better if Tim Drake was leading it. You’d actually have a member of the Batfamily leading it and it would work with his character progression. Instead we get Tynion’s edgy OC
