28:28 I find it interesting how almost none of the women in any way connected to the bat-family enter it with Batman's blessing at first. Barbara Gordon and Kate Kane are inspired buy him but not welcomed into the fold initially. Cassandra Cain is also not on his short list of people he's super fond of putting the bats on until he is. Stephanie Brown did the whole spoiler thing before becoming a Robin and then Batgirl. Harper Row (I kinda miss her) does her thing without Batman's blessing at first, too. Meanwhile the robins are usually accepted pretty easily. The only guy who doesn't almost-immediately get the Batman seal of approval is Jean-Paul Valley.

That’s because he didn’t take in any of the girls. He never trained Barbara, Cass was kinda taken in by Barbara more and he didn’t want Kate to do it. The Robins were trained by him and taken by in by him. Dick Grayson was as a choice, so was Jason Todd. Tim rlly wasn’t but it was because Batman needed him. Damian...... well it’s his son, and technically Dick took him in as Robin first so also technically not a choice either and also Grayson helped Damian a lotttt into evolving into a good, workable character. (Also none of the girls are orphans. And we all know Batman loves orphans.)

Just thought of a storyline where they should re introduce Babylon Tower now ruled over by the court of Owls who have decided to use a new virus to eradicate the poor of Gotham, making a war basically between them and Deacon Blackfires cult of homeless. Big twist is that the owls think they’d be safe in their tower but don’t realise Ras Al Ghul has infiltrated their whole operation and is releasing the virus all over Gotham so even the Tower isn’t safe.
