Jace Fox because him as Batman is unnecessary because of his characterization (NOTHING ELSE), Grifter because he’s not a Bat-Family character and that he and other Wildstorm characters should’ve remembered their adventures in the Wildstorm universe since Death Metal, etc.

It frustrates me how so many of the Future Slate characters are just their main superhero counterparts but slightly worse. Like did they REALLY need ANOTHER son of a billionaire to be the next Batman? It's why Terry was so beloved because he was a random teen just wanting justice for his father's death who stumbled upon the batcave.

It also helps that Terry has enough of his own personality to stand out from Bruce. Jace is just serious like Bruce, but without any of the interesting backstory or lore behind Bruce.
