Batman and the Bat-Family are the most efficient group of crimefighters around. Starting with Dick Grayson's Robin, Batman has trained vigilantes, passing on his knowledge and techniques to create partners to help him clean up Gotham City. The various members of the Bat-Family have proven to be the best non-powered heroes out there, their training and skills making them stand above their peers.
The Bat-Family is a tenacious bunch, but some outstrip the others. They're the ones who never stop, who barely have any life outside crimefighting. They've devoted themselves to cleaning up Gotham and nothing can stop them.
10 Batwoman's Drive Isn't As Strong As Other Bat-Family Members
Kate Kane is a scion of the wealthy Kane family. Leaving her family to join the military, she excelled as a soldier before returning to Gotham. She took up the mantle of Batwoman and began to work with the Bat-Family. She's a tough fighter and a smart detective, but there's a big difference in tenacity between her and the other Bat-Family members.

9 Tim Drake Chose Being Robin
Batman isn't the only smart DC detective, and he might not even be the best detective in the Bat-Family. That is potentially Tim Drake. Drake grew up in Gotham City and idolized Batman and Robin. After Jason Todd's death, Drake wanted to be the one who replaced him. He eventually was able to figure out Batman's identity and presented himself, asking to be Robin.
That right there is why he's less tenacious than other Bat-Family members. Drake wasn't driven to protect Gotham because of tragedy. He just wanted to be Robin. He proved to be a great hero, but he can never have the tenacity of other members of the Bat-Family.
8 The Signal Started Strong But Backed Off A Bit
Duke Thomas made a splash in Gotham City, helping Batman as a child and eventually starting the "We Are Robin" movement. As its leader, he was the one who stayed with being vigilante and started working with Batman more and more. He'd eventually get his own codename, the Signal, and became Gotham's daylight protector, using his photokinetic skills to fight crime when other members of the Bat-Family aren't around.
The Signal is a tenacious hero, as proven by how he got his start. He stuck with heroics and gained a bigger stature in the Bat-Family. He's more driven than most heroes outside Gotham, but among the Bat-Family, he ranks on the lower end of the tenacity spectrum.

5 Cassandra Cain Has No Other Life Than The Bat-Family
Cassandra Cain is the greatest fighter in the Bat-Family. With David Cain and Lady Shiva as parents, she is a trained killer but broke away from that life. She took the mantle of Batgirl and fought to have a life outside the path her parents forged for her. She's committed to her life in the Bat-Family because she has nothing else.

4 Nightwing Knows Little Else But Being A Superhero

His tenacity has been built by his years in the superhero community. Helping people has become a part of him and he'll never stop.
3 Red Hood's Life Has Been Marred By Evil
Jason Todd became Robin because of his chutzpah; he was caught trying to steal the wheels off the Batmobile and Batman respected the young boy. Todd was an angry kid and that colored his time as Robin. His death at the hands of Joker and subsequent resurrection only intensified his anger and caused him to turn to villainy before rejoining the Bat-Family as its most violent member.
Red Hood's tenacity is without question. His life has been marred by the villains of Gotham and that's reason enough for him to keep fighting. Red Hood's entire life is being a crimefighter in a way that few other members of Bat-Family can match, insuring his devotion to the cause.
