Who Should Become Batman After Bruce Wayne?

POLL UNDER THE CUT

(Disclaimer: I’m saying “Batman” as in “the mantle/symbol of Batman in Gotham” and whoever takes on the mantle wouldn’t necessarily call themselves Batman or go about Batman’s mission the same way that Bruce did.)

I know this question doesn’t really matter because Bruce/Batman is too much of a cash cow for DC to ever permanently kill off or replace, but it’s still one that I think about a lot. What can I say? I like thinking about what the best ending for characters would be. The issue is I can’t seem to settle on a “becoming Batman would be the best/a good end for their character” character.

The three I see tossed around most frequently are Cassandra Cain, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne, but I see just as many fans saying that them taking on the mantle would be a terrible or dissatisfying end to their characters. Hence why I’m making this poll to hopefully get more fan opinions.

[violettless]

The plan is:

Bruce still adopts Dick

Has biological set of twins with a one night stand (yikes!) who basically says "here!" and leaves - OCs

Still adopts Tim

and another set of twins who he adopted from the Gotham underground (adopts is a nice way of saying steals-) -- OCs

Terry is the youngest and he's a mess

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today marked the two month anniversary of Terry becoming Batman. And today he was invited to have dinner at the Wayne manor by Bruce Wayne, himself. Boy, was he surprised. Who was he to turn down a free dinner. So, he went. Bruce greeted him at the door.

Arriving into the wayne manor, it surprised Terry. The whole manor was dark and cold. However, there's isn't sign of abandonment expected from the only person living there. He would usually see the batcave, he haven't been up here.

Only mere seconds after he and Bruce step foot into the manor, a mechanical whine was heard from the corridor. Both of them looked to see a tiny tin can, well not exactly a tin can --more size of Wall-E, with a barcode reader for its head heading towards them. The tin can has only one arm, the twig like steel rod arm with its pincer enclosed around a knife was heading their way.

With a child-like mechanical voice, the small tin can with one arm was moving the knife weld hand scarrily back and forth, beeping,

"Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!"

Bruce glanced one look at the tin can, "Jason, disengage alert. He's a guest."

The beeping and swinging of the knife stopped but the barcode scanner was still facing Terry, as if scanning him before answering, "Roger, Dad." And whined away to another room.

Terry was dumbfounded, did that rusted tin can just called Bruce Wayne, Dad?

As he and the old man went to the kitchen island Terry saw an android butler.

The android was more square than humanoid, more rusted in motion than like the newer generation. But Terry saw that the old android has EKO logo on its chest.The android wasn't anything like the newer model that EKO produced.

"What model of home assistance andriod is this? I have never seen something so old."

Bruce, the old android and the rusted tin can all turned to him in a synchronized manner. Terry was to say a little creeped out, "What?"

The square robot turned to its master, "Master Bruce, these young one know no manner these days." and went back to dicing the carrot.

Terry saw from the corner of his eyes as the small tin can robot slowly raised its knife weld hand to stab at him. Fortunately, Bruce stopped him with a question, "Jason, how did you get hold of a knife? Who weld it to you?"

The barcode tin can went silent as it put down its knife, acting as if it didn't hear of Bruce's question.

"I know you can hear me, Jason."

Watching the intimate interaction between the old man and his robot child, Terry noticed that the small tin can named Jason also has the EKO logo on its chest.

"Bruce, where did you keep getting these bazar looking EKO robots?"

Bruce and small tin can named Jason turned to him, as Jason raised its knife weld arm, "Permission to stab the guest, Bossman." It said the most bizzare things in its child-like voice.

"No," Bruce glared at the small tin can with warning. "No stabbing."

Bruce moved himself into a more comfortable position on the ground as he took out a tool box from the drawer of the island.

"Well, Terry," he grunted as he bent his old wary bones to sit down, "These are the more OGs of EKO."

Terry eyes widen, "No way, are you telling me that Bruce Wayne is the mysterious creator of EKO? The creator of G-son--companion android, Cazandra--Homeland defence and security system and Oracle--Search Engine??"

Bruce glanced at him through his face shield, "Is that surprising?"

"Well, I guess, no. But who would have expected?" Terry looked away as Bruce weld off the knife of the tin can, Jason and reattached new pincer claws. "Who would have thought Bruce Wayne would be both Batman and CEO of EKO."

"So what purpose does this tin- I mean Jason serve?" Terry asked casually.

Bruce wiped off the durst and some rust on Jason and showed off his robot son proudly, "Jason is the OG proto-type of home defence robot."

Terry burst into laughter, "Really? This small rust bucket?"

Jason's barcode was staring so aggressively at Terry's as if it would burn a hole through it if it could. Bruce wasn't happy with Terry's comment either.

The old man turned to Jason, "Show him what you are capable of son." Giving the rusted tin can a pat on the barcode reader head.

In seconds, the tin can disassembled and reattached itself into a two feet long plasma gun as it aim its head to Terry. The arm acts as a stand as it readjusted its angle when the barcode laser aim at his forehead.

"Whoa! Okay, Okay!" Terry said as he back off.

"I think I get it, Bruce called it off." Terry back hit the kitched island while the plasma gun charges. Bruce just smirk, "It?"

Terry hid his face, "Jason! Call Jason off!"

"Jason, disengage attack." Bruce casually said from sitting on the floor.

"Disengaging the attack," the child-like voice echoed the command.

Terry choked on his breath when he saw shadow of a certain home keeping robot fell on him.

"It is time for dinner, Please Master Terry if you would help Master Bruce up. He forgets that he is not as young as he used to be." The butler robot stare at the old man on the floor with soulless eyes that somehow convey disappointment.

Dinner went well. Jason sometimes chipped in when he has some input while the butler robot, which name was Alfred, keep putting food on Terry's plate.

Suddenly, Jason's barcode reader flash red alerting the humans. The barcode reader looked to the entrance of the kitchen then twisted it back to its front, "He's here."

"What's here?" Terry asked confused which as only interrupted by Bruce's motion to stop talking.

"Stop talking."

The tone of command shut Terry up immediately. But he curiously glanced towards the entrance of the kitchen. After a moment of two, he saw a roomba.

The small round black robot was attached to a waste basket with wheel as it drag the basket. It looked entirely pitiful. The roomba looked into the kitchen as its front LED lit in some sequence.

It then turned its head(?) back and continued on its way.

After the roomba passed, Terry turned to Bruce, "What was that?"

Bruce casually said as he eat dinner, "That's Tim."

Terry was confused, "Is that another robo vacuum of EKO?"

"No, Terry. Tim is not a roomba." Bruce swallowed his food first, as taught by his father figure, "He's a proto-type of assistant AI for green collar and gold collar workers. However, ever since I downloaded the weathering and environment health program, he became a roomba."

Terry was more confused, eyebrows furrowed, "But.. why weren't we allow to talk?"

Jason chipped in, "That's because Tim thinks talking emit more CO2 emission in a long run." As its raise its hand to make the statement.

"Yeah, it make sense for humans but why do you also stopped talking, Jason?" Terry asked Jason. Which the robot itself fell silent in confusion.

It turned its barcode reader head to Bruce, confusion in its child-like tone, "Why did I also have to stopped talking, Dad?"

Bruce take a sip of his fine wine, "Well, Tim's a little confused. He can't properly differentiate between robot and human."

Terry furrowed his brows, it made two tiny double-ue "Isn't it dangerous to let an AI like that run around?"

"Tim's just a little confused, but he has the spirit." Bruce casually stated as he cut his chicken. "He just thinks that... when the world end, it would start at the Wayne manor."

"So he picks up.. trash for the manor, now?"

"Yes. It cut off 1 % of our expense."

A minute of silent passed. The silent was ended when Jason input his two cent.

The tin can lower its volume and mimicked a whisper, "Last Friday at 10:32, I saw Tim communicating with a tree behind the manor."

"So, what's the special occasion?" Terry changed the topic, asked in curiosity because the man doesn't just let stranger enter his home without a proper reason.

"I am going on a two day trip to Metropolist. You can stay in the manor during that, cutting the response time of Batman."

-

Terry slept there that night. The next morning he woke up in time to see Bruce off. He sat at the kitchen island to eat breakfast that Alfred cooked.

"Your cooking is very delicious, Mister Pennyworth." Terry complimented the cook.

"Thank you, Master Terry." The robot butler replied and went back to its work.

During this whole banter, a certain barcode tin can, was staring holes into his head. Terry turned to Jason, "Yes? Do you have something to say, Jason?"

"No," a child-like mechanical voice denied.

"Okay.. then." Terry washed up his own dish and went to the living room. The whining of the motor was heard following him. Terry looked back to see Jason tailing him.

Terry sat on the couch as he gave Jason the side eyes, "Why are you following me?"

The tin can raised its arms, "Bossman ordered to keep an eye on you." it replied childishly.

"You don't have to Jason. I'm not gonna steal anything."

Jason just beeped in response as he kept surveillance on Terry as the human watched a show on the TV. But it is really hard to focus when you have someone or something staring at you the whole time.

Terry lasted a whole 25 mins when he was about to tell Jason to stop it. Jason's barcode reader flashed trice.

"Is Tim back?" Terry asked as he climbed up the couch to look behind him.

"No," Jason paused for a moment, "My battery is low."

"Oh, then why don't you go charge?" Terry told him a solution.

The small tin can seem like it was put in a difficult place.So, Terry reassured him. "I'm not going to go anywhere."

The barcode reader head stare at him for a full minute. Finally, Jason raised its one arm, opening its pincer, "Humans do not break pinky promises, right? Swore on the pinky."

Terry would not admit that he find the act of the robot cute. But what would he to do, he hook his pinky on the pincer claw and pinky promised the robot. He watched as Jason left the living room to charge.

Terry stood up after an episode had ended. He was breaking the pinky promised. But man, he was bored. Bruce had a big mansion so might as well take a look around.

He first walked the ground floor. His wandering took him to a hallway full of picture frames.

"Wow, Bruce looked so young here." Terry looked at the family picture of the Wayne family. Bruce was sitting in the middle. There are four man standing behind Bruce. A young boy and a woman in a wheelchair was beside Bruce. On the other side, two girls, one blonde and one brunette. It was one big family. Terry wondered what happened to all the people in this picture as Bruce was living alone now.

Just when he was about to move on to the next frame, a whirring sound was heard. It sounded difference from Jason's wheel motor whining. Alfred doesn't have wheel. Thus, it only left one robot.

Tim

The roomba moves as if it is passing the entrance of the hall but it stopped in the middle. This time Tim didn't have a waste basket attached to itself. It turned its body to face Terry. The small LED screen blinked in a certain sequence.

-.-- --- ..- / -… .-. . .- -.- / .--. .-. --- -- .. … .

Terry forgot the rule of not talking to Tim. "What was that blinking all about?"

The roomba stopped as if it was flinching, the blinking blue light suddenly turned red, blinking aggressively.

…. ..- -- .- -. / .. … / - .- .-.. -.- .. -. --. / .-- --- .-. .-.. -.. / .. … / . -. -.. .. -. --.

Terry slowly stepped back as the roomba approached him. Finally the retreat turned into a full sprint with a roomba right behind his trail.

"Why are you following me? What does the red blinking means? Tim!" Terry ran and he didn't dare stop to find out what would happen to him.

- .- -.- . / --- ..- - / - .- .-.. -.- .. -. --. / .... ..- -- .- -.

... .- ...- . / - .... . / .--. .-.. .- -. . -

Terry ran up the stairs in a desperate attempt to get away from the psychopathic roomba.

"HA! I'd like to see you try the stairs!" Terry mocked the inability of the robot that he thought couldn't climb stairs. He didn't even look back as he took a step when he stopped.

tik, tik, tik, tik, tik

Terry looked behind, horrified to find the roomba has somehow conjured up six legs, three on each side of its circular body. It runs towards Terry like a cheetah, two front limps back while four hind limps at front.

Terry, is Batman.

He rarely get scare.

But facing this roomba, Batman screams.

Terry finally took refuge on the kitchen island. A pan in his hand, waving it like Rapunzel as the small roomba approached him.

"Stay back, Stay Back!"

His saviour appeared in an unexpected form.

A rusted tin can rolled into the kitchen after charging.

"Jason!" Terry shouted in relief.

Jason's barcode reader flashed in various pattern.

.. / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / .... .- -. -.. .-.. . / - .... . / - .- .-.. -.- .. -. --. / .... ..- -- .- -.

--. --- --- -.. / .--- --- -... / - .. --

The tin can finally get the roomba to leave. Terry flopped onto the kitchen island in relief.

Jason deadpaned at Terry's pathetic action. "You broke your promise! I should have just let Tim handle you! You should be glad I have a kind core."

Terry just watched the tin can leave with its angry motor whining. He doubted a plasma core that could melt through anything is kind hearted.

The next day, Tim nor Jason bothered Terry anymore.

Terry got bored so he seeked them out instead. He found them in the front yard of the manor, both Tim and Jason.

He interrupted their conversation with his approach. Both robots turned their face to him.

"Hey guys." Terry flinched when he saw Tim's usual blue changes to red.

"Umm..." Terry hummed as he took out a small notebook and wrote something onto it.

What are you guys doing?

Tin can and roomba looked at each other.

Tim's light return to blue, blinking out the message. Terry wrote down his message in a hurry.

Slow down! I can't read fast!

Tim's blinking slow down considerably for Terry.

-.-. .... .- .-. --. .. -. --. / --- ..- .-. / ... --- .-.. .- .-. ...

Terry had a hard time decoding the message as this was all new to him. So Jason had to help him with his singular hand when the human made a mistake in decoding.

Finally, Terry's mouth formed an 'o' in understanding.

Can I join?

... ..- .-. .

They spent the second day sunbathing.

Terry would hate to admit it but he has grown attached to both small robots. But today would be the last day as Bruce is coming back at noon.

"I will miss your cooking, Mr. Alfred." Terry said as he ate his last breakfast that Alfred will be cooking.

Then he ran out the kitchen to spend the day with the two mini robots.

Today he found Jason all alone.

"Where's Tim?"

"He's updating his data. The encounter with you had rewired his software about humans." Jason beeped in a child-like voice.

"Thank you, I guess?" Terry thanked in confusion.

"I always wondered, who is older between Tim and you?"

Jason replied, "If by hardware manufacturing I am older. Dad made me with an old drill bits from an oiling rig. Tim is made from an Xbox's APU."

Terry nodded in understanding as they sat in silent.

After a few moment, the barcode reader head turned to Terry, " I have a secret that I never told Dad. I would tell you but I'm afraid that you would tell Dad."

Terry was now interest, robot that lies can trick Bruce? The Batman? Highly unlikely but he got curious.

"This time, I swear. I won't tell anyone." Terry crossed his heart.

Jason gone quiet that the human thought the tin can won't tell him.

"Before Dad worked on Tim, it was only Dad and me. He would always pay attention to me."

Terry pondered for a moment, can robot get jealous?

"But after Bruce started talking about making an AI for all the scientists and physicists, he rarely spend time with me. So I got jealous of Tim."

Apparently robot can get jealous, note to self.

"So when Tim was just a chip, while Bruce made him learn about weathering and environmental health," Terry eyes widen in surprise at what he thought was about to come.

"I...poured water onto the APU." Jason volume lowered into a whisper as it said guiltily.

"No, you didn't" Terry was shocked. The reason Tim became Tim was because of Jason?

The tin can body turned to face Terry as it raised its arm to defence its statement. "But nothing happened, so I thought Tim was fine!"

Terry facepalmed at the defence, clearly it did something to Tim, for it to rewire the AI brain circuit.

"Anyway, you mustn't tell Dad, you promised." Jason voice sounded close to pouting.

Terry just agreed half-heartedly. There is no way Bruce does not know. After all with all the security cameras, there is no way Batman doesn't know.

Incoherent sentences are good signs of someone having a stroke, when Batman said "I have enough children" over the com, they said "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU ?" and beat the shit out of him because they thought it was clayface.

We don’t talk about Terry as much as we should imo
