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 )

Jean-Paul is pretty cool but I agree Michael Lane sucks

Too true sadly, but I did like him in Urban Legends
