    Since Dick is still going to be Batman, along with Bruce, are we going to get a new Nightwing, or is the role going to be retired?

    I don't think we will see someone else become Nightwing because it's not a mantle, it's not meant to be passed on. But then again knowing DC it probably will become a mantle. I think it would be interesting to see Damian mature and take on the mantle of Nightwing.

    Because Bruce and Dick are both Batman are their costumes slightly different or exactly the same?

    think it would be cool if Damien took up the name, sort of honor Dick in way since he was the only one who took an intrest in him

    This. I personally would like to see two Batgirl's, I don't see why not if there are going to be two Batmen, but if not, I think this would be an interesting choice, plus I just want to see her interacting with the Bat-Family again, and at least speak to Bruce.

    I say no, no more Nightwing. It's not a mantle that can be passed on, it defies the very kryptonian originss of the name. A man who was cast out of his family took up the mantle, to proove to his  familyy he was as good as any of them. 
     
    Nightwing wouldn't work because the whole the Batfamily is closer, the only way is if  someone took up the mantle in honor of what Dick did in his tenure as Nightwing, and the only one I could see doing that is Damian. I don't see Cassandra becoming Nightwing, her relationship with Grayson was rocky.

    @KZR:  Dick has a more classic costume right now with a grey suit and black trunks and black bat while Bruce has an all grey suit and the old oval yellow and black symbol right now. 
     
    They only time they had the exact same costume was when Bruce first returned in Batman and Robin.

    @entropy_aegis:  That's because they handled her character very poorly before RIP happened and made alot of her fans mad, so they are probably kicking themselves trying to come up with a redemption story to please said fans.

    And why did they handle her poorly my dear sir?cassandra is IMO one of those frenzy characters who lose their purpose after the frenzy is over(in this case martial arts),only gail simone seems like she can write cass.

    @joshmightbe: He's already been Nightwing before, and Jason was never  cast out like Dick was when Bruce fired him as Robin, Jason left and has repeatedly chosen  not to come back. 
     
    @Avenging-X-Bolt: No, I shall be the new nightwing, chicks dig the costume.

    I'm on the boat here thinking that eventually, Dick would probably return to being Nightwing. I am just looking forward to seeing if how all this Batman Inc. pans out, as we have 2 main Batmen which is just weird still for me. 
     
    Damian being Nightwing? interesting.

    The Robin mantle should be retired. From then on Batman's sidekick should be called Nightwing.

    @JediBatman: But that defeatsnthe point of nightwing, Robin is needed by batman, nightwing isn't  its what oone particular robin needed  when he grew past that role.  
     
    Besides robin is iconic, nightwing isn't.

    @JediBatman:
    I sort of like having Batman with a Robin 
    it's like the moniqer of when someone is in training as Batman's ward 
    Nightwing is like the next step in the evolution 
    (not that it's a mantle as of yet, just a codename) 
    Nightwing is the Robin who has learned what he can from batman and is on his own now, a free agent 
    like Batwoman as opposed to Batgirl

    Would like to see Damian try it for a while...fails, then Dick realizes he has to be Nightwing. And somehow this whole Batman Inc. story line just ends...I love Dick Grayson as Nightwing, but Bruce Wayne should stay the only Batman. I will admit that seeing Damian as Nightwing would be good fun, though.

    I personally wouldn't mind Cassandra being Nightwing, or like War Killer suggested, be Batgirl again along with Stephanie. I mean, it's the least DC can do instead of her doing nothing in Hong Kong.

    inorder for damian to be nightwing he would have to have a falling with batman and i dont see that with dick as bats but more likely with bruce.after not being able to handle his father but not wanting to go to his mothers side ,he decides to do his thing picking up the mantle of his former mentor.

    Issue number 4, the issue is pretty much setting up a bunch of plots that are coming and make reference to the whole batman incorporated thing
    As far as the series i liked the hush storyline but the first 3 issues of the ongoing series haven't thrilled me(only the 3rd issue matters for that arc)
    I could see the first arc being on the TV show
    Positives:
    Dick Grayson is involved with new arc
    Batman incorporated is in continuity
    Max has an interesting plot for herself
    Danah is getting some development FINALLY

    @EnSabahNurX: Hush Beyond? I found it horrible, it seemed like they were trying hard to blend events from the comics and animated universe together and failed, and Bruce Wayne was still completely out of character, sending out batrobots without testing them once? And the whole relying on old batman villians instead of original villians just didn't thrill me. But I'll check out issue 4 .
