Yeah I probably would have ranked the detective team way lower. Just not something I really see the vision for. Like the interactions are potentially interesting but I feel like we don't often see a team of detectives for a reason. A team of detectives is like a team of golfers imo. They tend to work better alone with the other people giving them support in ways that aren't about detecting.

I guess the key for a detective agency comic to work for me would be carefully deciding cases in ways such that only one or two of the detectives actually is capable of taking the role of the lead detective. I feel like a dude like Constantine working with a dude like Batman will have a lot of potential cases where one can't solve the other's case, but like The Question or Jessica Jones I'm not sure they're able to do anything Batman couldn't do alone, you know?

Depth of character is way more important to me than quality of skills. I've read 80 years of Batman being the best detective. Even Poirot and Holmes are wrong or need assistance from time to time, and this would be a title about breadth of cases, not one case an issue. Like I said it's about a web of conspiracy. And I don't know how much more clearly I can explain that Batman can't be the detective that some of these others are.

Teams ONLY exist because of interactions. And every detective mind here is unique and different.
