I like the idea of the family. It makes sense he would have help 9except for Robin maybe) and it adds fun to the concept.

The more the merrier.

Anyone who thinks Batman should be a loner doesn't understand Batman.

If Batman doesn't have a family, who are they going to kill and maim?

Pile em in I say

I like them, when used sparingly. He shouldn't team up with the whole gang all the time, or even Robin all the time.

I am a fan of all of them. I even like when Alfred dons a mask to go out and help!

Batman Family used to be one of the comic books I was most eager to get each month.

To answer the real question: to be most effective, Batman would have
to have a small army of helpers, I think. So, yes on the "Family."

Me too. I am not a fan of the psycho Batman, to me if you get to that point where you need to make it that real, you need to stop reading superhero comic books. Dressing up in superhero costumes to fight crime is an inherently childish idea and there is nothing wrong with that type of escapism.

Plus for a man who lost his family, to me it makes sense he would have another family around him. And it makes warped sense that he would raise a child after losing his parents.

And it's fun, I love all the Batwoman, Batgirl, Nightwing stuff. Keep it coming.
