[...] him, the actor, as it does with the writers and Christopher Nolan, the director. In the comics, “Who Will Wear the Cowl?” was far more of an important question than it has been in the movies. It really could be anyone [...]

BLATANT rip-off of the Death of Captain America arc!

Not too worried about it. In the DC universe, A-listers don’t stay gone for long. Hell, they brought back Hal Jordan, Connor Kent, AND Barry Allen.

Bruce’ll be back. This is just a “stunt” arc to sell more issues, just like Death of Superman, and just like Death of Captain America.

i dont think that dick grayson can ever replace batman. they need to resurrect him from the dead somehow like what they did to superman, green arrow & the green lantern.

Gee I’m having a feeling of deja vous! It seems that this was done already. Could it have been the whole Knighfall/Knightquest storyline again? DC could not have come up with some new ideas?

It better not be Jean Paul Valley… We all remember what happened when they tried to pull that off last time, and hopefully so does everyone at DC. Dick Grayson’s too obvious (though by far the best choice), and I would have gone with Jason Todd until I saw the ad for Red Robin #1 (this HAS to be Todd, doesn’t it?). I think that Morrison’s set it up for Drake and Damien as Batman and Robin, which actually doesn’t sound too bad. Sure, Dick Grayson gets short shrift, but it sounds like he’s going to have his hands full pursuing Todd in RR#1 (hinted at in the description). I’m disappointed that Morrison’s going to be doing the new Batman and Robin series though, and you think DC would have know better than to give him another flagship shot after he came up with that travesty Final Crisis and made Batman RIP such a painful read – I’m really not looking forward to more of Morrison’s confusing simplicity (characters named something like Dr. Bad, Evil Man and Super Good Patriot who all happen to be three versions of Bathound back from the grave. Shudder).

Personally, i Think that no one could replace Bruce Wayne. He’s different than Dick and Tim. He has more passion for a job as Batman and has many resources that hepled him keep his life in balance. Well, If its gonna be a battle my money goes to Dick. He understood Bruce the most and the motives behing the role of Batman and in a way he deals with the same problem except he unlike Bruce let himself get close to poeple. I don’t think that Tim will get the Cape. He’s an emotional mess and he’s sucks at balancing his life outside the Batcave. When the time comes to see If he deserves to be Batman he won’t make it.

They can’t replace Bruce Wayne. Thats like more than 50 years of history with the guy. Readers would be pissed. I know I would. Dick will probably get it until Bruce returns.

This is how I would write it. Dick, Tim, Jason, Hush, Daimen, and Jean Paul Valley all don the cloak and battle it out royal rumble style for the title. #1 selling comic of all time. I’m a genius.

Quote: “Grayson will be a good and solid Batman, with weaknesses. Weaknesses that Tim will strengthen as Robin.”

If Grayson has weaknesses, it’s on par with what Batman had when he was first a rookie at wearking the Cowl. And no one can say that Batman was never a rookie. Even as talented as the guy is…everybody has a beginning. And if Tim does strengthen Grayson, it is in exactly the same light that the original Boy Wonder & Oracle have strengthened Batman over the years. But in any event, both Bruce & Dick have survived on their own….with or without partners……although we all know that they have each saved each other on occasion.

Just my opinion. But I will say this, the Dick Grayson character is what pulled me back into collecting comics….roughly a year ago…..so I hope that DC continues to do the character justice.

I say it again, it is goig to be Dick…and after some research, I think this predictio is going to be pretty close….
Dick is going to become Batman, taking Daimen as his Robin, if anyone can straighten that little snot out it’s Dick, Bruce didn’t have the paitence…Tim will likely take on the role of Red Robin…why…not sure personally I’d give Tim an all new, orginal ID to call his own, instead of a left over Kingdom Come ID…Jason Todd, I don’t know what to think about him….I think if the right writer got a hold of him they could cool him down, but then, he’d just be a slightly younger clone of Dick….so Jason should just remain as the Red Hood…that is a good identity for him, or they could kill him again, and this time keep him dead…but I’m not holding my breath for that…he causes to much controversy and controversy, sells. So….
Dick: Batman
Tim: Red Robin
Jason: Red Hood
Daimen: Robin
and everyone else…well they on their own…
