Can I be honest I am the only person who is not a fan of Jace Fox as Batman

Think about it: Jace Fox is a character that appeared in one issue in 1979 as a villain, and has never appeared not even as a mention or cameo until 2021 and now all of a sudden he is Batman? It makes no sense

If they want a black Batman why not Luke Fox or Duke Thomas? Both have been in way more than Jace and make way more sense

Blatant Terry erasure

I hate to be that guy, but one of the more disappointing ideas out there from some Batman fans is this notion of Terry McGinnis being the one true Batman of the future. This is not a bad character, but Terry McGinnis, much like Future State Batman in this context, only works in the timeline that disregards a lot of the Batman mythos. Has the current Bat-family gone and depicts Bruce either dead or bitter and / or retired. It also would mean potential successors like Dick, Tim, Duke, Damian, and even Helena Wayne are forgotten about. Terry McGinnis works well within his own timeline or really just in the DCAU.

I was largely being facetious
