@stronger: How is it mocking Batman. She isn't going out and trying to ruin Batman's name. She was inspired by him, and her father chose the name for her. She has saved the city, and deserves the symbol. Besides, DOTF has basically scattered the Bat-fam, so just because they aren't all goody goody with Bruce does that mean they have to turn in their uniforms?
Batwoman serves as a symbol of the Bat, without being tied down by what Batman wants to do. It is exactly what Babs did as Batgirl, but when Batman asked her to join him, she said yes. besides, i dont think he has a huge probem with it
The bat-family isn't tied down to what Batman wants to do.They are free to fight the crime however they want.
Everyone does what he wants to do,Nightwing is in Chigago,Red Hood uses guns Tim Drake goes off with the Titans whenever he wants.While I agree there orders from Batman not to do some particular things,everyone fights the crime the way he wants to.Also they have full support from Waynetech and Batman himself.
I don't why Batwoman isn't free if she alies herself with him,in your opinion.....
Because she is different from the Family. They trained and grew up with Bruce, and are aligned with him due to their loyalty and feelings towards him. Kate has never interacted with Batman past the few conversations she has had with him. She doesn't like the way he is, how his system works, and she doesnt think he trusts her. She sees the flaws that Bruce has, which is why the family is broken following DOTF. Ironically, Kate herself is acting like Batman as she is shutting out anyone she doesnt trust the way Bruce is sometimes. The difference is that Bruce has more experience and takes time for his trust to form. In Kate's situation, where she has acted as a lone agent while using the symbol of the Bat, if she were apart of the Family she would be tied down, because at the end of the day the big orders would come down through Batman. yes i think he would allow her to have her own investigations and what not, but if something big were happening or Batman disapporved of something, she would ahve to answer to him.
Now, this would only work if the Family were intact, and as of now Bruce is pretty much on his own so Batwoman joining him would be pretty out of touch. But as for when he asked her to join him when he did, the way that Kate was brought up in the vigilante's life, it makes sense for her to be on her own. She is very similar to Batman in his early days, and with someone who is as independent and head strong as Kate, it doesn't make sense for her to work "under" batman.
I like the idea of the Family, but I dont like the idea that the heroes have to work under batman, which for Batman Inc means that they would.
