Talk:List of Batman supporting characters

message: Considering that the "Batman Family" is the main bulk/subject of the page maybe we should move it to the top and GCPD under it (probably before "Other Superheroes")?   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Totallyprocrastinating (talk • contribs) 19:51, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I vaguely remember her being killed. I think someone from the Society killed her when they were after Batgirl. It's one of the last issues of Batgirl, when it's set in Bludhaven and right before she went on the quest to find the League of Assassins. --Chris Griswold 00:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Did he ever hang out with Batman? You know, fighting people and punching them and kicking them and solving crimes? That kind of thing? --Chris Griswold 00:43, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Anarky was sort of fighting crime, but he was mostly doing his own thing.  but i don't think batman approved and sent him to some sort of detention center.  Exvicious 03:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is coming a bit late, but it bares mentioning for future readers.  Anarky was something of a wildcard.  He was against both Batman, and other villains, and so was never a sidekick or associated figure.  The question to ask is, was he ever a supporting character.  During the late 90's, Anarky got a boost in media exposure, becoming featured in his own miniseries, trade paperback, and ongoing series.  The ongoing series failed, and the character fell into obscurity.  In 2008, the character has been slated to be used in a December issue of Robin #181 (two months from this post.)  Time will tell if Anarky will be used more, or be sentenced into obscurity again.  Editors may feel that his brief exposure during the 90s is enough to place him in the "former supporting character" section.  I might be bold and do it myself, one of these days, if no one else does.--Cast (talk) 18:10, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bat Family? 

message: :Now that it [[[Batman Family]] & Supporting characters of Batman] has been merged, can we get back to the discussion of what it should be called? It seemed to me that people were leaning toward merging to Supporting characters of Batman. --Chris Griswold 20:47, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Batman Family is what it was referred to by the DCU, and it even had it's own comic for a while. I support the current name. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 00:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Why exactly was this moved before consensus was reached here, less than a day after the discussion was opened?  The merge debate ended up in favor of Batman Family with an agreement to discuss a namespace move later. ~CS 09:50, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

text: At any rate -- I agree with Ipstenu, that the name should remain at Batman Family.  I believe this term is far more inclusive than just the inner-circle, and is not the subset, but the umbrella title. ~CS 09:50, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Right.  Here's what I said on the day of the merge: "Since the specific issue of what page to merge into is at 2 to 1 for Batman Family I'm merging there. If there are objections, we can have another poll in a day or two to suggest a name change. ~CS 18:57, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I agree with Chris' proposal of making the pagename Batman supporting characters rather than Supporting characters of Batman, however.

message: At this point I feel it is presumptive to conclude that all of Cass's behavior OYL are attributed to the drugging by Deathstroke.  Setting aside arguments that she may be injected with other materials other than that of Rose and/or Rose's own abilites to fight her father's chemical and Machivellian manipulation, mind control does not necessarily yield that she is not still innately evil.  Cassie could still be the killer leader of the League of Assassins and was brainwashed/drugged to pull her away from the group.  In short, until we see conclusively that she is not acting of her own fruition for EVERYTHING OYL, we shouldn't attribute Slade as the sole cause. 66.109.248.114

message: I am not much of a comic book reader but more of a DCAU type of fan.  I do find the "Batman family" section a little confusing.  I know there are multiple earths the DC multiverse.  And to claim that there is a "current" Batman family doesn't seem to make much sense.  Current in what universe?
I don't mind a Batman family section, however I do feel adding generic section which covers the supporting characters Bruce Wayne being Batman, Grayson being Nightwing/Robin, etc would probably make sense. Oldag07 (talk) 03:15, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: To be honest I'm a little confused by it as well. The term originally was applied to the Bats, the butler, and the lone bird. The way it is being applied here... I really want to see cites to reliable secondary sources that it includes the Outsiders, Bard, and any other costumed hero in Gotham. Otherwise that entire section needs to be re structured. - J Greb (talk) 04:05, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Earlier, I noticed this message after one of the tables in this list:
:"I am repositioning the content to a more organized place. The boxes of supporting characters are organized in order: characters of the current DC canon, the characters from the old DC canon."
Because of the rule about talk in articles, I had to remove that.
Currently, I am confused about who wrote this and why, since the person who wrote it did not say or imply anything about who they were in the article; looking at it right now, it seems as though it could be about the addition of a few of the sections in the article that are in it at this time; however, I think that it could also indicate how the creation of these sections might not be finished. I also don't know much about current editing discussions or proposals involving this list right now, since I just found it while looking for something to copy edit for GOCE, so  could whoever wrote it (or someone else who knows about this comment's purpose and implications) please specify so that I can make sure that I don't accidentally take away from any progress on this article currently being made by other editors?
