What would people think about a category for Batman's supporting characters, like Tim Drake, Dick Grayson, Selina Kyle, Alfred Pennyworth, etc etc? I think it would be helpful and useful to link them all together in a group. Cubzrule (talk) 05:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's a non-starter. The supporting character cats that had existed got turfed through CfD as clutter and impractical/impossible to maintain. There were also concerns raised about how to classify a character as "Supporting".
There's the same problem with collecting foes/villains/opponents into a category, a neutral term winds up with most DC characters, heroes and villains, included.
In both cases there are list articles, and both can be serviced, to a limited extent, with {{Batman}}.
