Since Duke refuses to go away how would you go about making him a worthwhile character? Or at least not redundant in an already overstuffed Bat family?
He tends to the Batcotton fields.

Have him and Damien have a duel to the death. Hopefully both die.
How about he moves to somewhere else?
Turns out contact/ingestion of Duke's thick, salty jism allows Gotham Girl to tap into his semen's life force, allowing GG to access her powers for a limited time without draining her own life.
Every new Robin gets nothing but hate. Give it time and /co/ will bitch about the next addition/change to Batman's family.
Keep letting different writers try him over the next year and if none it works out then just harper row the character.

five him a 4 or 5 years and bam! He takes the express bus to limbo.

Give him a better costume than that tacticool shit.

Move him to another city. Put him somewhere away from the Batfamily so he can do his own thing. At this point there's so many of them that it's a wonder Gotham has any crime at all.
why does he need this
none of the other members of the extended batfam get this much flak just for existing and being underutilized

>dick, jason, and damian off doing their own thing
>tim is busy being "dead"
Duke is just a fill in while the other Robins are busy with their own lives.

I really don't care about Duke.
What I want to know is when DC will remove Snyder, King and Tynion off Batman and give us much needed new bloods? Because I really can't stand Batman books anymore.
>>90782872
he's never going to succeed as a concept as long as his stories are relegated to back ups and he's fighting for page time with the 4 (now 3) Robins when he does appear in Batman mostly doing Alfred's job.
they finally got Tim out of the way, it's time to move Lark into the male lead in detective comics, just make the team Lark, Cass, Steph and Clay and add one more (Harper Row?) to be the wildcard. the bats can fuck off and Lark can be built up as the POV character new to the Batman world.
>>90782872
have 'Lark' turn out to be a psuedo-Joker identity and have it that him filling that role satisfies whatever cosmic demand there is that Gotham must have a joker, meaning the real Joker can't come back until someone kills Larktwo weeks later DC realizes they've turned him into a Black & White Minstrel pastiche and enter panic mode
Damian is now batboy. Duke is now his robin.

How is King not new blood?
Continue I am Robin, and replace him with Reiko was the main character.
>>90785926
I wasn't counting King, but he isn't exactly a new blood either since he worked in Grayson.
Batman is in desperate need for someone new who has no connection to Snyder and actually cares about the character.
