R.I.P Bruce Wayne

Spoiler was blonde, Jason Todd was the Robin who died in the famous death in the family storyline.............

The red head that looks like a dyke is probably Carrie Kelly, my favorite Robin.

So lets assume the scenario I mentioned takes place. I have asked what you guys think would or should happen, but what do you think the writers would do, have Robin replace Batman? Have Nightwing replace Batman? Or have either Nightwing merely taking up the role by altering his suit slightly?

I think what should happen would be Nightwing, as I said, and I think the writers would do that as well. Nightwing is the senior member of the team right now, and in the shock of Bruce's death, everyone will be looking for someone to turn to. If Gordon is still alive, he would contact Nightwing. Oracle would contact Nightwing, etc. Everyone would come straight to Grayson, because he has matured enough that he will think you know what...they need Batman in Gotham...alright old man, Batman isn't going to die.

Dick is the closest thing to Batman right now and he is the one that knows the most, is the best skilled for the job and so forth. I think he would alter the suit slightly, to make it some sort of mix between his and the Batman suit. Keep the cowl and cape and all that, and maybe redo the logo and make it blue in the center or something, you know what I mean. I don't think he would just say "well Nightwing is in charge now" cause that's not scary, Batman used his fear against his opponents, and how can you be afraid of two nouns being put together? lol

Oh no, Morning Beak is after me!!!

I think the frustration of Bruce's death, and the grief, would help convert Dick into a more sinister hero. Not having that man to fall back on, losing his mentor and brother/father would make him become Batman.

I agree partially with that, Im not sure if Nightwing would suddenly go all evil and brooding and therfore become Batman, However I think he would become Batman in some way............

Well no, I didn't mean he'd be evil, just that he'd have, at least temporarily, a rage in him and wouldn't be as light-hearted as he usually is. Right now one of the only things that separates him from Bruce is that brooding nature like you said, and with Wayne's death I think it would push Grayson over that ledge for a little while.

Is that your own opinion or is that how you think the writers would do it............

Part of it is my opinion but I think that's how the writers would do it. Sometimes it seems like they can make really weird choices but I think for the most part, they try to keep it logical as if it were the real world. That's why we have characters that die and so forth. Grayson didn't stay Robin forever, Jason Todd was killed early on, etc.
