There's something so beautiful about Cass' belief in people. Not only is it consistently rewarded, but it's often the very thing that allows people to change:

Batgirl (2000) #36 / Detective Comics #972

Her belief isn't enough for her, but it's enough for so many others.

So according to ghost-maker, only 5 living people have seen his whole face and only 3 know his real name.

let’s fact check that.

obviously Bruce knows both his name and face so there should be 2 more people who know his name and four(?) more who know his face.

Angel-Breaker also knows his name evidenced below, and we can presume she also has seen his face(they’re ex-lovers btw, if anyone is unaware)

(she calls him ‘khoa bear’ im shitting myself)

the third and in theory final person who knows Khoa’s name is Ras al ghul

but as you can see Talia is right there!, and so is that rando with the sword. And I’m aware that in shadow wars ras al ghul was killed, but I’m like 80% sure that ghost-maker said only 3 people knew his name before ras’ death.

also I’m aware that batman: the knight has multiple discrepancies with ghost-maker’s original introduction, so I guess this is me pointing out another. 

https://www.tumblr.com/thepineconelord/713683317919203328/ever-since-tynion-iv-stopped-writing-ghost-maker?source=share anyway here’s a post where I point more out more of those

I think a lot of things with ghost-maker like who knows his name/face are going to get muddled and changed, mainly because tynion left dc and ghost-maker doesn’t have one stable creative team writing him anymore.

anyway I would go through everyone who has seen his face but that’s too much work, I’d love to hear other’s thoughts on this

It's interesting to me that Jason is the one Bat who is characterised as a drinker (plus Ric Grayson, but the point of making Ric hang out drinking in a bar was to specifically distinguish him from Dick).

This is very noticeable, particularly given Jason has repeatedly started off crossover events by...being in a bar, ever since 2015.

Here's Batman & Robin Eternal #1:

Jason: So that was fun, who wants a drink? Tim: I'm sixteen, Jason. Jason: It's Gotham city, Tim. I can find a place.

Note here Jason is probably 21 years old, given the only objection raised here is that Tim is underage, not Jason.

This is followed by Jason actually hanging out in said dive bar (and NOT with Tim) in Batman & Robin Eternal #2, where he encounters Cass (they're trying to track her down):

And then even more maturely, after having a fight with Cass in Batman & Robin Eternal #3 (in which Jason gets pulled off Cass by Dick before Cass can take him apart)...Jason then decides he's going to refill his pint glass and...drink more beer in this conversation?

Great life choice, Jason. Definitely what was needed while Harper's bleeding out.

And this is not the only example!

Here he is actually getting said 16 year old Tim into a bar while they’re scouting for information in Gamorra in Batman and Robin Eternal #7.

Tim is clearly uncomfortable and drinking Coca-Cola. Jason’s having a beer.

Here's Robin War #1, where Tim's trying to track Jason down. Guess where he is.

Having shots of some unidentified spirit in this bar (I'm presuming whiskey or bourbon) and getting into bar fights with people about what being Robin is about. The perfect prelude to *checks notes* getting on a motorcycle and heading off to spy on what the We Are Robin kids are up to.

Then here's the latest I've encountered, in Alfred Pennyworth R.I.P.: Tim sets up a wake in a sleazy bar for Alfred as they need somewhere "off the beaten path" and Alfred stipulated in his will he wanted them all to come together for a night off. (That was...a choice, Tim. You couldn't think of a different neutral ground? Ollie got HIS in the Warriors' back room, when they needed to keep that on the low down 25 years earlier)

Despite this, everyone's specified to be drinking ginger ale...except guess who.

Hello Jason. (And yeah Dick is still Ric here but don't worry he gets his memories back basically immediately after this story, they just specified it happened before the memories returned probably because it was drafted by people who didn't know the exact timetable of when Jurgens was doing that).
