@extremis: I'm confused, how is bat-family defined? I thought none of them were technically related to batman. Except for damian.

@novi_homines: I think it's people who know Batmans' identity, work with him, were trained by him and sometimes adopted/brought up by him. Right now I think the Bat-Family is just the characters that were named in the poll.

Batwoman isn't one of the family because she was never trained by Batman, doesn't know his real identity and doesn't work with him. She isn't on Batmans speed dial for contacting allies, but all of the other family members are, and wasn't called to help during Night Of The Owls or Death Of The Family. Plus Batman and Batwoman don't seem to trust each other, and she recently said "I'm not a member of his cult.". Neither of them consider her to be one of the Bat-Family, so that's why she isn't.

Other: Huntress/Helen Bertellini

Batman > Huntress > Catwoman > Nightwing > Batgirl (Cassie) > Red Hood > Red Robin > Batgirl (Gordon) > Batwoman > Damien Wayne

That's the way it goes for me...looking at the members throughout the years.

@v_scarlotte_rose:s lol it seems like she doesn't even like the guy. Why does she even adopt the "bat" name anyway?

@novi_homines: Her dad suggested she should put a Bat-Symbol on her costume so that people would know she was a hero and not a villain.

makes sense. I see now why she's not considered part of the bat family.

Did Damian's popularity skyrocket after his death?

Damian

Damian Wayne. Im gonna miss him

Some people just jumped on the bandwagon when he died. But I personally liked him ever since Morrisons run on Batman and Robin.

Pre-52, it was definitely Red Robin, but now, I can't stand that douche. I'd actually have to see Talon. He's pretty cool. Hope his latest issue does not change him too much.

Red Hood, no question. Nightwing is my second

Tim Drake All The Way though this is creepy

Nightwing, duh.

Batman

I never liked or cared for Bats for Brains, but I did like Robin a great deal. I wasn't a big fan of his Nightwing persona so I grew to love Tim more since I was unaware of Jason until the animated movie came out. I wanted to vote for Jason but I decided to vote for Tim assuming he would be needing the votes. I love them both. I haven't decided which one I prefer at the end.

Of the ones listed, Jason (Followed shortly by Dick).

Though my favorites aren't listed (In order: Stephanie Brown, Terry McGinnis [does he count?], Huntress [Bertinelli] [does she count?], Cassandra Cain, and others I'm forgetting). I assume because they have yet to appear in the New 52. I didn't see the "Other" option.

Dick then Jason

Cant help But say Nightwing, Tim is a Close second

Batmite.

Anyways check out my Superman vs batmite thread at battle section

Damian

Damian. Oh wait...*sob*

Tim Drake > Cassandra Cain > Alfred Pennysworth > Stephanie Brown > Selina Kyle

Selina & Steph ♥

You left out Alfred as well. And considering besides Batman he's the one I like the most I suppose I'll refrain from voting.

You can vote other.

@rustyroy: Yeah, guess I missed that. Thanks.

I shall then and declare that vote is going towards Alfred.

i wanted to vote tim drake. But with the new 52 i find jason todd the better one.

As he is living prove batman can fail

tight one for me damian though

JASON!!

Pre-Flashpoint: Tim Drake

New 52: Damian Wayne

New 52 (alive): Dick Grayson

Overall though my ranking would go:

1. Tim Drake
2. Damian Wayne
3. Dick Grayson
4. Jason Todd
5. Barbara Gordon

Love Tim, but keeping it real with Cass Cain.

Dick Grayson > Damian Wayne > Jason Todd > Barbara Gordon

I would have preferred that Tim would have been killed instead of Damian. Pre 52 he was awesome. New 52 not so much.

Has to be Dick Grayson for me, the first Robin and his current series isn't half bad.

Nightwing

I like both Tim and Dick more than Bruce actually.

1. Red Hood

2. Damian (Robin)

3. Nightwing

4. Batgirl

5. Red Robin

Tim>Babs>Dick>Jason>Steph>Damian

sadly, i haven't read that much with Cass.

^this

Catwoman.

See what i did here?!!!!!

NIghtwing.All day every day!

bump

I voted other: Alfred!

Damian not even close.

Red Hood

Never really liked Nightwing.

This thread really shows how bad the new 52 hurt Tim's popularity. It's a shame honestly. For me it goes

Dick>Damian>Tim>Babs>Jason

Nightwing. Dick Grayson is my all time favorite character.
