in your Bruce App, you never specifically state that Bruce was an only child, leaving it POSSIBLE that Thomas and Martha could have had another child. The Park Row killing by Cyrus Gold and Joe Chill is a great catalyst and emotional trigger. Plus it would be interesting to see a partnership between Thomas and Bruce that slowly devolves due to opposing views on how to save Gotham.

I can't speak for Gowi, but this has bad idea written all over. Especially with Bruce already tied to both Rade and mine characters. You'd not only have to deal with Bruce but also with Dick and Harley. Plus how would Thomas find out that Bruce is both his brother and Batman? I mean this may seem like a good idea but it has 'New 52' stamped all over it. Which leaves a bad taste in my mouth personally since I think the New 52 was one of the worst things to happen to DC in years (And I'm still pissed over the Joker, Damian and now Dick. Best thing to come out of the New 52 was the NIght of the Owls and the new Harley Quinn series which is the only monthly I'm currently reading.)

*DISCLAIMER: This is all my opinion so if you don't agree, I respect that. (At least I'll say I respect that while ranting about it somewhere else :P)
