First let me say I am not a super-comic-book-guy.
But off the top of my head there is:
Batman
Nightwing/Robin#1 (Dick Grayson)
Robin#2 (Jason Todd, aka "the bad Robin")
Robin#3 (Tim Drake)
Batgirl#1/Oracle (Barbara Gordon)
Batgirl#2 (Cassandra? mouth is sewn shut on costume)
Probably more Robins and Batgirls
Huntress (don't know name)
Azrael (don't know name, took over for Batman for a while)
Com. Gordon / Police Force
Alfred
The guy who fixes the Batmobile/Batboat/Batplane/Batpogostick/etc...
All of whom are (probably) currently alive in at least one of the Batman Comics.
Not too shabby for a shut in loaner.
In the interest of fairness, I must point out that Superman has quite the list himself, but I'm not as big a fan, so I'll leave that to someone else.
