with the hype leading up to the launch, fanboys started speculating who would wear the mantle of the Bat if the powers that be sidelines Bruce Wayne (c'mon, will there never be a Batman?). now that Batman R.I.P. has concluded (with much gnashing of teeth, i assume), the world is bereft of a Batman (this just after ruling the box office last summer). so who's gonna put the hurt on the Bat rogues gallery?
well, ok, that was just cheating - a mere hallucination triggered by the always-ambivalent Harvey Dent. but still.
the stigma of being the first (heeehee) Boy Wonder still shadows Nightwing, but he has paid his dues after all these years. he's the backup plan when the JLA goes down, and he doesn't have the hangups of his mentor. just tell he won't be growling intelligibly a-la Christian Bale. and if this is just one long big gimmick (Bruce Wayne was hiding in his head all along?), it would be intriguing to see Nightwing wear the cape for awhile.

Dick Grayson FTW!
Battle for the Cowl starts ... oh, just get on with it, DiDio. 'fess up, you're copying Ed Brubaker's Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes star turn on Captain America.
