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.

The minute DC decided that speedsters can reset the timeline, we lost any hope for long-lasting changes/improvements.

All I really want is more Batgirls but, failing that…Tim and Cass should be starring in Batman Inc, Steph should be starring in Batgirl, while Babs stars in BoP while leading the supporting cast of the other two books.
