The idea has to do with Finn's grandfather, who I remember you said made a lot of sense for Finn to be close to (and you're so right!).

I started watching Batman Beyond a while ago (great show, you should give it a look), which is where the inspiration for my idea came from. In the show, an elder Bruce Wayne coaches a high school student to take on the mantle of Batman. (Lol, I kind of imagine Finn sounding like Will Friedle's Terry McGinnis now...)

My idea for Finn was that maybe his grandpa could radio him pointers during investigations, teach him fighting techniques at home, or just simply be a source for advice. I'm not sure how his grandpa would have the experience/knowledge himself - he could be a retired war vet, or a prizefighter that never recovered from an injury in the ring, a cop who eventually turned in his badge, all of the above...anything. Heck, he can help out Willow as well!
