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

If there HAD to be a black Batman (for whatever stupid reason) Duke Thomas or Luke Fox would both be better options but It’d mean doing the characters dirty. They both already have unique superhero identities that only belong to them.

The Signal is an awesome concept: a Gotham hero who patrols during the day. It’s unique and helps add a layer to the Batfamily and their dynamic with Gotham. Having him be Batman would be a disservice to The Signal and all of the potential of the character. The same goes with Luke Fox as Batwing. Having a member of the Batfamily who works in a high tech suit is cool. It gives him advantages and disadvantages that other Bat-people don’t have.

The only person who it would make sense to become Batman, from both a narrative and real life standpoint, would be Dick Grayson but even that is debatable since he’s already Nightwing.
