**I mean, I always thought I had a decent knowledge of the Bat-Family. There were the four Robins (Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian), there’s the GOAT Alfred, and also Catwoman (Selina), who is kind of in and out of the whole thing. Then there's Batgirl/Oracle (Barbara), the Bat-Hound (Ace), and, when they choose to bring him up, Batman Beyond (Terry).**
**Now, I’m seeing all these new Bat-people. I always knew the joke about Batman and orphans, but how many people are there now, and when did they start to appear? I mean, there is a red-haired Batwoman, there is a Batwing, there is a guy who is just called Signal, and there are these two other girls who are now claiming to be 'Batgirl'—I think one of them was once called Spoiler, and I could go on and on.**
**Overall, I am so confused. How many of these people are canon at once? How many of them are canon at all? I haven’t read the comics much recently. I know Alfred is dead and that there was a Flashpoint Thomas Wayne in the main DC, but I don’t remember all these guys appearing before, yet I see them online. So, what is what? How does Batman just get first dibs on all these orphans? How old must he be now from having so many kids, and how does no one notice this seeming 'Bat-takeover' of Gotham?**
**Sorry if this all sounds like it's easy to explain. I know I missed a lot of stuff, I just genuinely don’t get where all these people came from, and I thought they were stretching it when they came up with a fourth Robin.** (I mean look in the image I found is that CLAYFACE IN THE BAT-FAMILY????)
