Ever since Bruce Wayne started his war against crime, one cop that's been there since the beginning was Jim Gordon.
While this member of the GCPD tried to catch the vigilante at times, he eventually realized that the Dark Knight had good intentions and decided to work with him rather than against him. Read Batman: Year One to see this arc in action. However, being the active character he is, often finds himself right in the fray alongside the Caped Crusader. He also managed to be one of the most reasonable cops in Gotham, as most of them are either crooked or are working for their own agendas.
While he was the most hated Robin when first introduced, Jason Todd slowly became one of the best DC characters, moving through numerous arcs in his lifetime. Originally meeting Batman when he tried to steal the tires off the Batmobile, he was brought to the Batcave and trained to be the next young ward. Due to his arrogant nature, many of the comic fans voted to have him killed off. He was kidnapped by The Joker and you all know the rest. After being resurrected as Red Hood, he was trained around the world even by people stronger than Ra's al Ghul.
Armed with guns, a red mask, and a chip on his shoulder, Red Hood isn't afraid to do what's necessary to get the job done, even if that means working with the other members of the Bat-Family. Batman didn't have a father for long, but after being isolated in Wayne Manor for all those years, it was Alfred Pennyworth who raised him.
While teaching him the ways of society and basic human decency, Bruce Wayne eventually grew up and didn't Alfred to help him in the same way. As Batman, Bruce instead consults Alfred as his number two and most important member of the Bat-Family. He ensures that all of the proper equipment is cleaned and that Bruce is patched up each and every night.
He also serves as a grandfather figure to all of the Robins who enter in the Batcave. He has helped with many of Batman's cases as well, and in some incarnations, is ex-military, so he can fight too. Tim Drake has a history with the Batman lore. He was there when the Flying Graysons were murdered during their performance. After that day, his life was changed.
He quickly deduced that it was Dick Grayson as the Boy Wonder. After trying to get Batman and Dick Grayson to reconcile during their falling out, it was clear that it wasn't going to happen. Because of this, Tim took the mantle of Robin and became vital to the Dark Knight's mission. He was a great fighter, but his best skills were in his detective work.
He proved a crucial aspect to solving many crimes and would continue his career later on as Red Robin. Before all of the complicated villains and antics took over Gotham City, Batman was operating on a small scale. It was at this time that Jim Gordon adopted his niece, Barbara, after her parents were killed. Knowing that her uncle was working with the Dark Knight, Barbara became intent on joining his crusade.
She took martial arts classes and honed her skills for many years. Then she crafted her own Batsuit and joined the night as Batgirl. She was a very early sidekick of Bruce Wayne's, but their time together wouldn't last long.
The Joker would end up paralyzing her from the waist down. However, she didn't take this as an opportunity to give up, as she would later become the technical support for Batman, known as Oracle. She remains a vital aspect of the Bat-Family after being retconned back into the suit. After years of reading Batman stories and seeing his relationships with other heroes, we knew that there was no other pick for the top spot than Dick Grayson.
Being the first Robin, this classic sidekick helped out Batman while learning to improve his skills. He did eventually have a fallout with the Dark Knight, but used the opportunity to improve and become a better hero as a result.
