#again. if yall have questions abt the other bats i'll be happy to expand on this on the Main DC blog

[duketectivecomics]

So thanks to dark knights metal we now know the for lack of a better term “final forms” of Dick and Duke, what would you headcanon as the peak forms for the rest of the bat kids if they’d also reached that point

So, I’ll just go through these like Pokemon evolutions tbh, and if yall have questions abt Why And When And How And What, please feel free to direct them to @dyketectivecomics bc again. I want to keep things duke-centric here and not bog it down TOO much with the rest of the fam or with my own personal headcanons (bc again, i want this to be an archive for Duke & a space for everyone, not just my own personal space, altho i rlly appreciate y’all asking these things!!!)

(also Take of this with the grain of salt that I could very well change my mind a few months from now, and also that this is STRICTLY how I see the characters progressing in my Own Idealized Canon. if you have something different that’s cool! this is just how *I* would want things to go down for now!)

so here we go.

Dick: Robin I -> Nightwing -> Briefly Batman II -> Nightwing 

Babs: Batgirl I -> Oracle 

Jason: Robin II -> Red Hood -> Gets Therapy And Retires Thank God

Tim: Robin III -> Red Robin -> Wayne Enterprises CEO by 25 and Never Looks Back

Cass: Batgirl II -> Black Bat -> Batman III (nighttime bat/stays in Gotham 100%)

Steph: Spoiler -> Robin IV -> Batgirl III -> Question III

Damian: Robin V -> Retires before 20 

Duke: Robin VI -> Signal -> Batman III (daytime bat/works with & eventually leads the JL)

Harper: Bluebird -> maaaaaybe Batwoman II?

I’ve got plans to include Nell Little, Luke, Tam and Tiffany Fox, Carrie Kelley, Helena Kyle-Wayne, Terry n Matt McGinnis and several other extended/future-verse members, but those plans are lot less defined and more... general musings while I play around with the core fam first and what theoretical story beats I’d want to see them take. also bc i still need to finish reading a lot more too fdjasl;
