Here is the situation. Batman fought a load of major criminals eg. Joker, Two-face, Riddler, Bane etc etc A bomb was accidentally dropped during the commotion. All are killed including Batman.
Who steps up to become the next Bats? Nightwing? Robin? Batgirl? Huntress? Alfred? lol
Personally I think that Nightwing will but what are your opinions?
Ok, if they did it the smart way, this is how I see it.
Now, you say all of Batman's major villains, and Bruce, are killed, correct? And the question is, who steps up as Batman?
Dick Grayson does. He was his first and best pupil, and to honor him, he'll abandon his reign as Nightwing to Tim Drake, and get Tim to start training a new Robin. Grayson will become Batman, honor Batman in the correct ways with the funeral services and whatnot, and move into his estate with Alfred and Tim, and the new eventual Robin.
That's the only way I see things happening, with that, Grayson's death brings Tim as Batman, and Tim's death brings the "new Robin" as Batman. So forth. From then on in, there will always be a Batman, or a Batman pupil of some sort.
I agree with this. Always two there are. No more, no less. A master, and an apprentice.
Personally. I hate it when they resurrect people after killing them off. I'm hoping the reason why is obvious so I'm not going to explain it. This has been done with Superman heaps of times and it makes me cringe, it's so cheap. To my knowledge it's never been done with Batman and hopefully it never will.
And Joker1237, the guy is asking a hypothetical question. It's not a question of whether it would happen or not, it's a question of the results.

Something I've always wondered, if it follows what I said I'd see happening, is whether or not they would hire another butler when Alfred dies. He helps them out A LOT, so would they hire someone else to tend for those things, as well as take over Wayne Industries?
..you know with all the laughing your doing...i'm starting to think you're the joker! it's true isn't it????don't worry you're secrest safe with me

Ok first of all i'd like to mention Superman/Batman Generations...great comics.....Dick stepped up there although other stuff happened and Bruce had a son......anyways...
Now your Scenario:
Depends, if Tim is old enough he will step up to it...he would be the perfect choice, and he would do a pretty good job.
Dick is Nightwing...that'S established...he won't..or at least shouldn't be Batman.....
I could also see a scenario where Batgirl would step up wit guidance of Oracle and and Tim....would be rather interesting....
Although...maybe since all his major villains are gone there'S no need for a Batman.....who knows....
A Green Lantern in Gotham would be great also.....
I think he would out of respect though. After all, Nightwing wouldn't even come close to existing without the years of tutelage from Bruce. Dick would just be a wreckless punk that was put in jail for getting revenge by shooting someone or something, or maybe even a supervillain himself. It was Batman that did everything for Grayson, everything from training him, to being a surrogate father, to providing for his meals and the roof over his head and so forth. I think Grayson would take it up, seeing as he respects him, and he's the senior member of the entire squad, and the best qualified.
