Well one of the others was onboarded at around the same time as Onyx and was a literal supervillain who forced herself in the no-no way on Nightwing as far as I remember, so I'm not sure how good an point that one is

[@AverageEldritchEntity]

​The reply above refers to Tarantula, I believe- who wound up leaving for Blüdhaven anyway. The third is the aforementioned Mother Panic.

[@somethingwithultra7231]

Everything aside, I think that Ragman story was easily the best of these in terms of actual integration. You not only have a sensible villain that isn't some weird overpowered secret society that Bruce somehow NEVER detected. But you also seem to have him actually being on the trail, just a bit late as he's not directly involved as Ragman is. I kinda get that they can't do that type of meetup with every vigilante who gets their own series, and it would probably undermine it alot. But it really just always calls into question why the hell he's not anywhere near these conflicts considering all of his resources.

[@roadkill6778]

He does with in the shadows. Maybe he watches but doesn’t intervene to see how they handle themselves and if they’d be a possible ally or just a protector in his absence. Gotham is a big city after all

[@paulakroy2635]

Honestly all of these gotham centric heroes could easily form a new iteration of tye outsiders insead of a seperate team their a network of gotham based heroes think the shadow's network of agents helping him with intel, surveilance transport etc. Some of them even teaming up with members of the batfamily on ocassion. As for the numerous undisclosed secret sociwties controlling gotham my take is the the court of owl either infiltrates said organizations or allows then to exist in order to keep the bat distracted from their activities.

[@DoomedPaladin]

I like Whistler. I imagine Gotham dogs are probably as tough as the humans of the city. There could have been some very interesting storylines involving dog-afflicting diseases; mad scientist experimentation; actual werewolves; demonic crossbreeds from all the hellhounds summoned by insane cults; and run-ins with packs of hyenas that have formed from The Joker and Harley losing their pets (Bud and Lou) every time they get dragged back to Arkham. She could've been DC's Squirrel Girl with the right writer.

[@katsomeday1]

I didn't know about Whistle, but I really like the idea of a hero with a janky power, not too much in the way of resources and problems in their personal life. This is a person who has to get really creative to save the day and since they're not in a position to deal with a world shattering threat, it gives the creative team more time to go into into character development stuff.

[@tumultoustortellini]

Ngl, I could feasibly see Ragman and whistle team up to take on whoever in gotham. Ragman is the powerhouse, Whistle is the brain and tenatious mascot that can bring him back from the brink. A less balanced duo than batman and robin, but with the possibility for just as much depth. You could even make the balance grow over time by expanding her powerset; maybe whistle can gain a stricter control over animals over time, something like skitter/Taylor Herbert from Worm. Another idea for expansion is that she can soul bond with a certain amount of animals over time. A dog gave her control over dogs, but then maybe she does so w/ a pigeon and gets the powers of gliding, or speed (but like her arms have to be tucked or smth quirky), or a squirrel and etc

[@danielramsey6141]

Won’t lie, I love how The Creeper’s insanity is expanded upon in future DC comics! Even the New Batman Animated Series adds this change by letting some of the Joker Chemicals Change him! These changes make him far more interesting!
