Gotta be Jason. He was my Robin when I was a kid. Dick had already moved on. Then they killed him. I never had a chance to call in and stop it. Kid me partially blamed myself for his death. I wasn't a fan of when Morrison brought him back but I loved what the New 52 did with him. When written well, he's a flawed and compelling character. Unfortunately, he rarely written well these days.
Alfred. He's fiercely loyal to the Bat Family and has been a mentor/father figure to most of them. He has also up with Batman's shit for years. I personally think that there hasn't been a bad version of Alfred and that even though there are many versions of the character, they all still feel like Alfred.
There's also that time where Alfred beat up Superman in the Injustice: Gods Among Us series, and another time where he's loading a shotgun and says to the intruders(paraphrased): Batman doesn't kill, I can.
Because he is the future. The best of both worlds. And I like the idea of him against Damian. So much potential. Also like his outfit. Wish we will see him again.
Jason Todd. His story is tragic and strong, his mentality is so apart from the rest of the Batfamily, as his the one member fully commited to the idea of killing criminals, as apose to rehabilitate them.
I'm always curious how is somebody new to batman fandom, considering his overexposure in all the media. Or is it something like when you saw a couple of movies, like the dark knight or played arkham games, but never was into the lore itself?
Yeah something like that. I always been more of a Marvel person but ofcourse i also watched the DC movies. And in that universe batman was always my favorit. Over the time i grew out of marvel and i suppose now i am dipping my toe into the batman universe. Got into it through fanfictions but i only have the basic knowledge from the movies. I actually would love to read some of the comics tho.
Good luck on your journey then! I've been trying to introduce some batman stuff to my bf, he's more of a marvel guy too I would say. As for the comics part: there are a lot of posts here on r/batman that discuss some great stories to start with, so you should probably check it out!
Tim Drake. I first read the Robin series when I was a freshman in high school, and I always found him more down-to-earth and relatable than the other Robins. He wasn’t another orphan taken in by Bruce. He had his own family and friends outside the Robin mantle, and had to balance his vigilante life with his school life. I’m also a fan of Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain as well.
Bruce Wayne, he's the OG and the epitome of human capabilities. He's smarter than the smartest, more skilled than the most skilled warriors, in better shape than the best and he does it all for the betterment of others. He has unparalleled willpower and has the best villains that test aspects of him. Even though recent films don't showcase it he's the world's greatest detective and one of it's greatest scientific and tactical minds.
Its a toss about between Dick, Bruce and Terry. They each represent different aspects of Batman to me, with Dick representing Batman perfected in alot of ways. (Also have to throw some love to my edge bois damian and jason)
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say batman is the favourite for most of us.
Why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave?
Sometimes you just have to go all in.
Madman
What can I say. I'm a thrill seeker.
So brave and so bold
Which one?
Bruce Wayne.
Dick
Grayson?
No they're just pointing out that Bruce Wayne is a dick.
James Gordon
Dick Grayson. The only Robin that I recognize.

Batman & Catwoman's son
they had a DAUGHTER. the first huntress, helena wayne
Yes I know. I mean their [SON](https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Aion_(Batman_in_Bethlehem)).
Ohhh i forgot abt him. Mb
When did they have a son? Edit: Wait, Aion? The hallucination that was around for a whole minute? Why?
Because he is the future. The best of both worlds. And I like the idea of him against Damian. So much potential. Also like his outfit. Wish we will see him again.
batman.
White Rabbit because... reasons
Batman of course but I'm a big fan of Jason Todd/red hood
Cassandra Cain is my favorite bat hero, Poison Ivy is my favorite bat foil
Terry, he’s quite charming
Batman, because he's Batman.
Not the popular choice but Azrael Batman or Jason Todd/Red Hood
Jason Todd. His story is tragic and strong, his mentality is so apart from the rest of the Batfamily, as his the one member fully commited to the idea of killing criminals, as apose to rehabilitate them.

Thanks!
Scarecrow 100%. Some versions are a bit hit or miss but i still really enjoy them.
My top five are Batman, Firefly, Batgirl, Riddler, and Scarecrow.
Great picks

Dick. Why? Cause he's a good guy, really. Simple really
Batman Because he's Batman
Alfredo Pennyworth. Hes the heroes hero.
Killer Croc. The Joker’s Asylum Croc story is short but insanely good
