Placidity
In an alternate reality, there are no super-powered heroes or villains, only Batman and his enemies. With the numbers of villains increasing, Batman's task of keeping the city safe seems increasingly impossible. Batman has started to look for suitable candidates to train to take up his mantle.
In this reality, the following people have no super-powers, no complex histories, just ordinary citizens (no skills, training etc). But they have the same personalities, intelligence and human potential as they do in our current Earth reality.
- Assume They are all aged 20 and are perfectly healthy.
Who would you pick to be the successor of the Dark Knight?
Batman will then train whoever he picks for 10 years and teach him everything he knows.
- Peter Parker
- Logan
- Steve Rogers
- Tony Stark
- Clark Kent
- Matt Murdock
- Scott Summers
- Frank Castle
. . .
Again, since there are no super powers involved you are choosing purely on personalities, values/morals/ethics, intelligence and human potential.
An example of things to consider - even though Batman may be able to influence their personalities over the period of mentoring, training etc, Frank Castle while very capable, may not be a good choice since he is unlikely to stick with Batman's no-kill rule.
