Preboot Batkids and the Batman mantle:

Barbara Gordon: most similar to original Batman for spying & controlling tendencies.

Dick Grayson: most accepted by other heroes as legitimate successor to Batman mantle.

Helena Bertinelli: actually made herself into The Bat of her own volition when Bruce left Gotham after the quake.

Cassandra Cain: most likely successor to uphold Batman as a symbol of fear & hope.

Jason Todd: most obsessed with Gotham and closest match to world tour of earning skills.

Stephanie Brown: most likely to act the same as Bruce as Batman.

Tim Drake: running away from the Batman mantle the hardest despite Bruce trying to drag him into it.

Damian al Ghul-Wayne: thinks he's supposed to be Batman someday the most.
