    I'm really just curious on what the general consensus on his place in The Family. Personally, I've always considered Batmans' true future replacement to always be Terry, while a lot of my friends say it should be Dick. I've heard people say it should be Damian. I've even heard Tim thrown out a couple of times, (almost never hear of Jason though.)

    So, I'm curious. Where do you think Terry fits in? Is he the real replacement for Bruce Wayne or no?

    Well, since Future's End is canon, then yes Terry is the replacement for Bruce although it seemed as though Bruce hadn't given up the cowl yet.

    Terry. Dick belongs as Nightwing. Damian is dead and would be an absolutely horrible Batman. Tim doesn't even like batman sometimes, I doubt he wants to be him.

    no one when dick became batman for a year it clearly shown that Dick wasnt really a fit for Batman it still joked around when he tried to be threatening it wasnt convincing and like Superman told him he was just walking around in Bruce's skin

    Damian is dead

    and Terry is just a lame character Bruce even being an old man was far more interesting

    Terry because Batman is his persona just as much as it is Bruce's imo. Dick for an immediate successor cause I can't see anyone else whos more prepared to fill the role.

    It should be no one but Terry because hes the only one who wants to be Batman actually.

    Dick is not Batman. He is best as Nightwing and Jason wants nothing to do with Batman. Tim doesn't want to become Batman either, he is own person and you can already telll that he will become a force to be reckoned with like Batman when he grows up.

    All of them are better off as their own persona. They are not Batman except for abilities and talent.
