His snarky remarks are sorely missed by this fan. To steal a quote, "We'll all miss him. And pray for a resurrection."

There's so much more going on with her than what's on the surface, and it's that multi-faceted aspect that I think makes her so popular. Yes, she's primarily made out to be a kinky nutcase, but she frequently shows heart & genuine emotion, and she IS a rather brilliant psychiatrist. She's a great example of why not to judge a book by it's cover.
-
The War Games crossover took a rather bland, uninteresting character & turned him into a legit threat, and then Judd Winnick came along & made him into a must-read, satirical ego-maniac. Only for Tony Daniel to come along & ruin :-/
-
If she was real, I'd want her as my female BFF.
-
Can't have a Bat-list without including the man himself, right? Like so many others, he's my favorite of all time, period. The first comics I ever owned when I was very, very young were Bat-books & I've been a fan since.
-
A picture of savage splendor. With the right writer, he can easily be an A-list villain.
-
The Bat-family's other every-man. A more flawed & often angrier Dick Grayson. And often easier to identify with as well.
-
Who hasn't wanted to be an immortal, filthy rich, powerful master combatant at least once in their life?
-
Unfettered indulgence. He has a freedom that allows him to follow his every whim, be it mundane, grandiose, or atrocious. He knows no bounds & refuses to be tethered by limitations.
-
Of all the women Bruce Wayne has dated, Silver has always seemed the most realistic to me. I love the way Kevin Smith wrote her & was quite shocked to see the very last page of Widening Gyre #6. I hope that's just a flesh wound.
-
She's hot, she's rich, smart as a whip, and deadly dangerous. The allure is obvious.
-
The anchor, the one we can identify with. It's easy to envy his skills, popularity within social circles, the easy going respect, & his ability to score high with women, but despite the character's many positive qualities, he's as decidedly human as you or I - - He has moments of doubt that readers can easily relate to, sometimes even on the same scale, other times on a cosmic level, but it's within those moments where often times we can relate to him the easiest, which really helps to put you IN to the story.
-
The original Azrael, not that pretender Lane. Jean Paul would wipe the floor with him! He had one of the coolest costumes in comics history & has the distinction of being one of the only guys to beat down both Batman AND Bane in a fair fight.
-
Power, cunning, and honor. He commands respect like no other. Second only to The Bat.
