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?
Batman
Character » Batman appears in 23645 issues.
Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
Is there going to be a new Nightwing
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.
"Cassandra? "
DC does'nt know what to do with her and who can blame them.

"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
@KZR: different
" Cassandra? "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.
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.
@Avenging-X-Bolt: No, I shall be the new nightwing, chicks dig the costume.
" @nightwing91: In that case Jason would be the only one to fit the bill and it would probably really piss Dick off "
No Jason is fine as Red Hood
" @StarKiller809 said:^agreed" I would love it if Dick Grayson went back to being Nightwing and Batman became the only Batman "I think this eventually will happen. That whole Batmen thing seems pretty ridiculous to me. "
Besides robin is iconic, nightwing isn't.
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.
" @EnSabahNurX: Wasn't it just the mask? "nope in the current issue he actually wears the entire costume
what if nightwing became like "passage". like you have to take up the nightwing identity and be tested before you can become your own hero...think aobut it could be cool
" @EnSabahNurX: I've avoided the series because it's seemed to avoid what made the show great, got an issue number I may need to pick this up just to see for myself, and it seems like a extension of the idea from the show where he wore the Nightwing mask. "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
