Ace the Bat-Hound is a series of dogs used by Bruce Wayne over his career as Batman.
History
The earliest known Ace is a shepherd type dog used during the early part of Dick Grayson's tenure as Robin.[1]
Years later, Wayne acquired a mastiff which had originally been a guide dog belonging to a blind Native American named Black Wolf. The dog remained most of the time in the Batcave along with Harold and they kept each other company, specially during the time when Jean-Paul Valley took over the mantle of the Bat.[2]
Ace would help Batman on cases and was seen to be very affectionate towards his owner and vice versa, but this Ace disappeared after the events of the "No Man's Land".
In a potential near future, after Wayne has retired due to age, a different Ace is his sole companion at Wayne Manor.[3]

Notes
- The earlier Ace was first shown in Batman Incorporated #4 (April 2011) by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham. The appearance is based on the pre-Crisis Ace.
- The third Ace first appeared in Batman Beyond (Volume 3) #1 (August 2010) by Adam Beechen and Ryan Benjamin. Interviews preceding the series launch had contradicting continuity information. There was a stated intention for the series to be firmly rooted in the near future of New Earth, but also incorporate the entirety of the DCAU continuity from which the Batman Beyond characters and setting were drawn.
- During the events of Final Crisis, Ace is seen with other forgotten characters in Limbo.
