well it has to be Dick grayson taking the mantle ; I forget where I saw it but there is a video out there that states that Tim believes that Bruce is alive and that he will start looking for him….just like the new Red Robin

Plus Jason Todd has been outed as the gun toting Batman(something neither Dick or Tim will let happen; they both respect the non-fatal ways of Bruce…excluding Darksied that is)

and Jason would make a better arch-enemy to Dick than anything

Tony’s under a lot of pressure. Writing, drawing, deadlines, people trying to weasil spoilers out of him, & lost of art theft.

I’m trying to get him onto DeviantArt. If he posts art there & you post it here, DA will get on your ass about it. I’ve already lost favored sites of a few artists who shut their sites down because they were sick of finding their art on forums, posted without permission. You can get sued for that you know?

It’s got to be Dick. Jason is warped. Is the Batman family going to just forgive all his transgressions and hand over the cowl to a crazy man? Plus it needs to be Dick. The whole thing about the sidekick deal is that you’re one day supposed to take over when the big guy is gone. The former Kid-Flash became the Flash didn’t he?

Didn’t we already have this storyline 10 years ago? ‘Prodigal’?

Except Prodigal stinks. That warrants a remake in my mind.

Between the serious points being made, the pretty decent snark, and the multiple uses of “Dick,” this may well be the best comment thread I have ever read.

its JASON folks. dicks worked to hard as nightwing to just ditch it. i see Dick as JASons mentor in all of this. i think Jasons learned his lesson back in COuntDown and is ready to grow up. even if im wrong, WInnick, DAMian as RObin and MORRISON and QUitley team return… dude BATMAN Comics kick ass again. awsome.

This is not a huge surprise. I’m not following the series but those who were complained weeks ago that the book was telegraphing that the outcome would be Dick as Batman.

Well, that didn’t seem obvious from the get go?

But now that Dick has been drawn into the Cowl he has his otherwise perfect record tainted. Perfect record as in he hasn’t been killed off and resurrected multiple times. Or turned into a criminal or reform later.

Who knows what emotional burden and psychological trauma he’ll inherit by undertaking the Cowl.

Its their job to shine the world’s biggest spotlight on it? See, that’s why DC/Marvel never tell anyone anything, because we act like we deserve to know every little detail. Tony’s not on the wrong side; all the fans who just *have* to know everything before it happens are.

But they’ll never admit that.
————

That’s absurd. Robot 6 was reporting the news, which it usually does. “Shining the biggest spotlight on it” is what it’s supposed to do. Let everyone know what’s going on in the comic world. It’s part of why they exist.

It’s not fans wanting everything now. It’s a group doing their duty. Tony let the info slip, and he’s paying.

Let’s put it another way. If one person goes to the site, and see’s the image, whose fault is that? Tony’s? Or the guy for wanting to know every single thing?

When Dan DiDio lets info slip at Cons, whose fault is that? Newsarama’s, for telling everyone else?

You’re a blind, deaf monkey if you can’t tell that it’s Dick and Damian on the cover to Batman & Robin #1

I don’t think that CBR did anything wrong. Tony Daniel posted that image for the world to see. As a media outlet it would be crazy if they didn’t say anything about it. You just have to be careful what you post on the web these days. I think people are getting to upset for no reason at all.

I remember working with Tony at a con when he was doing Spawn….
He got into a shouting match because a dealer wouldn’t take a check from him. Mind you, not everyone would take a check at a con, but when your “real” name is NOT Tony Daniel but you are wearing a name badge that says it is… he never tried explaining the stage name, but went off on a long rant about not getting respect.

Dick is the most deserving of succeeding Bruce Wayne as Batman, just as Bucky Barnes is most deserving of succeeding Steve Rogers as Captain America. Anyone else taking the mantle of the bat is ludicrous, Jason Todd is not the mentoring type, and neither is Tim Drake. Dick’s attitude to Damien is the same Attitude that Bruce has toward Dick in the hugely popular All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder.

I saw the Solictitation for Red Robin, and i have to say, bringing a character from Kingdom Come to DC is wrong, The Kansas Disaster hasn’t happened, Gog/Magog hasn’t killed the Joker yet after the Joker set off a nuke in Metropolis. The Kingdom Come Universe is part of Hypertime as explained in the conclusion of ‘The Kingdom’ Storyline. We know that Nightstar will never be born. Dick already said in The Titans, he doesn’t love Kory. I know Jason Todd is an Excellent Detective, but when i saw him wearing the batman outfit hunting down Two-Face in the subway, i knew Tim won’t be the new batman, because he was wearing the Classic Golden Age costume.

Richard Grayson deserves the costume even if it costs him, his sense of humanity for the time being, he spent more time working also side bruce than anyone, if anyone deserves to honor Bruce’s Legacy, it’s Dick, in the words of Stan Lee, nuff said.

Somebody said Captain America. Let’s face it, Civil War sucked and it wasn’t going to do Cap’s title any good to die after such an embarrassing crossover. I don’t know how good DC’s crossovers were, but I doubt they were as bad.

As for Bats, I read some of Morrison’s stuff. Cofusing, but good. I think Tony Daniel is great. He’s art is great and didn’t we all love him playing C3PO?

Nightwing would make total sense, he does seem a little too soft, so he needs to be toughed up some more in his first year.

“Shorts are black + black ribbed for texture”?

Sounds like something else that costs $2.99…
