Batman is dead! I cant believe it, Crisis issue # 6....hell he is worse than dead, he is trapped in an infinite loop virtual life! Darkseid is must be as powerful as the demon! Is there any hope for Bruce to return? I dont like **** to take on the Batman's Cowl, I hope he wakes up someday. Sorry I just realized this, as Batman : AA really rejuvenated my interest in Batman.

He is but me personally I would rather him stay as Nightwing, I can't think of him being Batman.....It doesn't compute..
That and none of the Robins could ever be Nightwing...ever...

People shouldn't ignore "Batman and Robin" comic, it has excelent writing, great story and it will play a great part in Bruce's return.

Also he isn't KIA... well thats what the DC universe people believe but us readers know he is MIA instead.

So guys read the comics, before you comment, and so what if I have the joker as my avatar? Who cares? And come on... Batman and Robin is sweet, and guys read stories with Grayson AS Batman before you comment bad about him as Batman, please.

First off, if *anyone* is worthy to hold the mantle or to be passed the mantle of Batman it's Richard Grayson. He is the most worthy heir and I honestly don't think it makes sense for anyone else to fill the shoes when Bruce can't. Were Bruce to be permanently removed from the DCU Grayson would carry on the legacy honorably. Also, Batman & Robin is a pretty good read so far and I'd suggest picking it up to see how Grayson handles things. Makes for a great story.

This is one of those topics that vexes me greatly. I have long preached (and am probably wrong might I add) that Batman is dead. I backed up why he is dead because of some events that happened in Green Lantern 43 when William Hand first becomes the avatar for the Black Lantern Corp. He says he hears all the names of the dead and Bruce Wayne was one of them. But now that Red Robin 4 has came out I am don't know what to think. I wish it could have been handled better in Final Crisis because Bruce's death was very heroic taking out a god only to then be trapped in time. It feels like his "death" was not as meaningful. Morrison is making up for that awful story (Final Crisis) with Batman and Robin.

Grayson as Batman is awesome until Wayne returns
but I'm am having a problem with all these other replacements. When did the soap opera writers start writing for DC?
Damian Wayne is Robin, Chris Kent is Nightwing (Chris Kents story seems like a bad joke to me), and now stephanie brown is not dead but is the new Batgirl?
What next the Joker will die and the new joker will be the Riddler and the new Riddler will be Jokers and Harley eligimate son?
I just want to go back were Bruce is Batman, DG is Nightwing, Tim Drake is Robin, Helena is Huntress, Barbara is Oracle, and fine Stephanie can be Batgirl

Even when they bring back Bruce, I think they are gonna keep Grayson as Batman. Personally, **** Grayson is one of my favorite characters in the DC Universe, and find it only right for him to follow in the steps of Bruce Wayne. With Tim Drake as Red Robin and Damian as Robin, I don't see DC going back to the way things were. But I like Grayson as Batman; it would seem wrong to relinquish his title of Batman after he fought for not only the battle of the cowl, but for his life as well. Him and Damian bring a fresh new approach to Batman and Robin, along with a new environment with the Bat Bunker. If **** continued to operate out of the Batcave, then I would believe that ****'s run as Batman would be temporary and short-lived.

Also, in an ad I saw in Blackest Night: Superman #2 for Justice League of America # 38, they showcased not only a Batman in Graysons altered uniform (which obviously means its **** and not Bruce), but they also had a different Wonder Woman in all black (maybe Donna Troy?) and a new Superman in a red costume and blue cape, with the House of El crest on the left chest. All more the reason that I believe Grayson as Batman is here to stay.

In addition, I think DC has even bigger plans for Bruce Wayne...

Yeah, nothing is wrong with Richard. He's just like Batman except not as you know...unrevealing. Richard is the new Batman and you will accept this, if you believe otherwise, then you've got a suprise instored for you. :rolleyes:

Blackestnight11 the new Wonder Woman and "Superman" are Donna Troy (Teen Titans member) and Mon-el. Superman is too busy handling New Krypton so Mon-el is protecting the Earth. Funny the guy doesn't have a kryptonite weakness but i think he's weak towards lead, haha.

I love Richard as Batman. He's such an interesting character tho the early writing made him seem like a newbie who hadn't learned a damn thing, im looking at "Batman" comic where he is pretty much still training. We all know Bruce is coming back eventually, but hey what if he doesn't return as Batman right immediatly? Maybe the comic world will have two Batmans? Who knows really. The Richard Grayson Batman comics are selling like hotcakes so DC is atleast happy with Richard being the Batman. ;) :) And so are the comic fans who buy and read them.

Haha. =P You don't watch Batman: The Brave and the Bold? Basicly an angry Batman fanboy complains about the show and Paul Dini thru Bat-mite replies with: "Batman's rich history allows him to be interpreted in a multitude of ways. To be sure, this is a lighter incarnation, but it's certainly no less valid and true to the character's roots as the tortured avenger crying out for mommy and daddy."

Anyhow to me. Bruce Wayne making himself immortal would be so out of character, i would drop reading the writer's Batman comics if anyone would ever do that.

As far as Bruce becoming immortal, what would you think about him becoming the Spectre? That rumor was going around before RIP came out and I think it would work. If Hal Jordan could do it, Batman could. He's got the perfect personality to be the incarnation of divine vengeance and if I remember right, the last Spectre either turned human or died in Final Crisis (not sure which), so the position is open.

I'd like to see that happen, with Grayson and Damien remaining as Batman and Robin.

Actually,the Spectre is currently a Black Lantern,and the whole "Batman doesn't kill" thing would kind of prevent him from being the spirit of Vengeance.

Actually,the Spectre is currently a Black Lantern,and the whole "Batman doesn't kill" thing would kind of prevent him from being the spirit of Vengeance.Do you mean Crispus Allen (the most recent human host) is a Black Lantern? I haven't come across this yet, but I'm not seeing how the Spirit of Vengeance itself would be vulnerable to being taken over by the Black Lanterns.

Also, they could work around Bruce as the Spectre not killing people -- I don't think it's necessarily a requirement that the Spectre kills, just that he usually does because he's outside of any human notion of morality.

edit: Answered my own question (http://www.comicvine.com/black-lantern-corps/65-50743/) - The Spectre's host, Crispus Allen, was even taken by the Corps.According to this, it wasn't the Spectre that got taken over, it was its human host. Which leaves the position of Spectre open for Wayne.

After reading Blackest Night #3 and with the speculation of the white light Indigo-1 was talking about, I peronally think that Bruce Wayne will become the White Lantern, or as some may call it, the "white knight." I know there has been talk of a white lantern for some time, but in Batman: Streets of Gotham #3 (I think its #3) Tommy Elliot, who is impersonating Bruce Wayne, Goes on a rant to **** Grayson and claims Bruce Wayne to be Gotham's "White Knight," where both words are in bold font, putting even more of an emphasis on the speculation.

Black Hand is raising the dead from their grave's while holding Bruce Wayne's skull in his hand...I fully believe Wayne is going to play a pivotal part in the Blackest Night, and I think it will be his transition form "Dark" Knight to "White" Knight.

Since Green Lantern: Rebirth, Geoff Johns has been working his way to this moment. In Green Lantern: Revenge of the Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan tries to help Bruce overcome his greatest fear and put the worst night of his life behind him: the death of his parents. Where as The Green Arrow was only able to make a single arrow fire before being very fatigued, Bruce was able to will the ring to do much more, creating a visual of his parents (as well as sporting a hybrid Batman/GL suit). Not being able to overcome the night that the Batman was born, Bruce gives Hal the ring back and tells him "He can't do it.....not yet." Seeming unharmed and not fatigued at all, it shows how much willpower is manifested inside of him. That may seem trivial, but in Green Lantern: Wanted: Hal Jordan, Batman is the first being selected out of Sector 2814 to join the Sinestro Corps. This makes sense: Batman preys on the fears of others, just as the Sinestro Corps. This is a true instance that shows how amazing Bruce Wayne really is: to have the willpower to override the ability to instill fear in others; the same notion he relies on in his war against crime. Although they are just moments, they should not be overlooked.

Indigo-1 states that members of all Corps must come together to reignite the White Light of Creation: all colors of the emotional spectrum. Three people instantly come to mind as candidates of inviduals who show all aspects of the emotional spectrum: Hal Jordan, Bruce Wayne, and Clark Kent. Being it hard to make a case where Superman has ever shown signs of Avarice in his life, it really only narrows down to Jordan and Wayne...

I believe this is the moment where Bruce comes back and finally overcomes the night his parents died. It is only fitting, for if he comes back, he will more than likely face their risen corpses. I also think to overcome his parent's death, the night in which the Batman was born inside of Bruce, the Batman inside of Bruce must die as he overcomes his greatest fear, plunging him out of the darkness of death and into the light of life.

I have no idea what will happen, I am just stating my opinions based on what I know has happened. But like I said, I bet they didn't pick Bruce Wayne's skull for Black Hand to tote around for nothing...

Drazar

09-29-2009, 12:30 AM

Didn't Geoff Johns deny White Lanterns already? Sure #3 introduced the white light of creation, but White Lanterns? It just seems.... so obvious, know what im saying?

We know that people who died within peace can't be raised as Black Lanterns, hence Black Hand is using Bruce's skull as a connection to everyone it seems Batman joking to himself with the words "gotcha" before Darkseid "killed him" gave Bruce inner peace.

Also i doubt we will ever see Batman overcome his parents' death, then he would just be Bruce Wayne, not Batman. =P
