Why does Batman have so many kids?
>>153177911because writers are uncreative hacks, and their only idea is "hey what if Robin"
because the only way modern writers can think of to have a "long term legacy" is to put a character they created into a position where every year corporate has to put them in one panel acknowledging they still exist in the universe because they don't want fans complaining>are you erasing black batman sidekick???? um racist?????????
>>153178046You say that, but DC are the ones who turned Duke into a February exclusive character.
>>153177911Because the people in charge think they’re in the publishing business which caters to female tastes by default, and women will not consume media about a lone wolf character. “Families” are now de rigueur for this reason, not just in comics. Everything is quipping and group dynamics and Hogwarts.
>>153177911Because the most popular iteration of Batman is always the whole "brooding loner" type so the idea of Bruce somehow ending up with a large adopted family after losing his own is a popular idea.
>>153177911The bigger issue is that writers ignore the distinct dynamics of Bruce's relationship with the characters. Bruce and Jason are distant and often adversarial, Bruce is paternalistic and hands-off with Cass, his relationship with Tim was always closer to mentor than family figure, he has variable levels of appreciation for Steph but doesn't really have any attachment to her, and his relationship with Damian can be rather formal and stiff.
>>153177911That's a common misconception! This is actually his haremYou know how a lot of guys will watch an anime and gush of how a waifu is better than another and no one cares about the bland protagonist? DC has the exact same for tumblr with the batkids

>>153177911People that like batfamily shit like bloat for the sake of bloat
>>153177911he won't let another orphan be alone. Life always finds a wayn.
>>153177911cuz he can't control his Batdick
>>153178218What does duke bring to the table other than fried chicken audience ?Dont start me on "He patrols gotham during the day"Batman acts during the day when needed but its the cops that earn they paychecks during the sunglight hoursBesides nothing happens during daylight in gothamEveryone is prepping for the night to sell their guns,set off the explosives or cum into the water supply with joker toxin There are too many batbratsSend Spoiler and Chinese batgirl to titans for seasoning,send duke to new york with rest of the blacks and retcon it and break tim drakes knees so he has to use a wheelchair
>>153177911>why does the man that's traumatized by losing his parents jump at the chance to be an adoptive father, taking in orphans and troubled kids?
>>153177991Fpbp
>>153177911Because he's a slut slinging cock around anytime he can.
>>153183032What's funny is that isn't really true in canon; he was legal guardian of Dick and Jason, but Tim's family was around until he was ~18, Cass mostly lives on her own or with Barbara, he never took in Steph, Damian is his biokid, and Duke at best gets to use the spare room.
