I'd Have Kept Hardback Bock in the Bat-Books

One of the things that has always puzzled me was the decision to promote Hardback Bock OUT of the Bat-Books, and then replace him with Crispus Allen, who, while a good character himself, really did not present much more, character-wise, than Bock ever did.

Bock was a good character, and a nice tie to the "before No Man's Land" Gotham, and a man who managed to get THROUGH No Man's Land...and his reward is character limbo?

I think Bock deserved better, I think he deserved a role in Gotham Central.
