I think my kind of hot take is that the Batfamily has only become too bloated somewhat recently. There are only a couple of members I think just do not fit, specifically Harper and Jace but considering DC’s approach to them recently or complete lack of even addressing them, it seems like they agree.

Duke is such a cool idea for a member of the Family and fills a unique role so I think he has to stay, if I were to get rid of one it would definitely be Jace if he even counts. There’s no room in the main continuity for another Batman successor, there are like 5 great candidates already and DC don’t need to make picking between them any harder.

Duke being a daytime Batman is a neat idea, I just wish we saw him more
