what do you think the future holds for dick ?
in batman beyond things dont turn out so well and in the future miller universe things dont turn out well
i personally think dick does not deserve such a bad future for such a nice character
Dick Grayson
Character » Dick Grayson appears in 9479 issues.
As the first Robin, Dick Grayson was the most famous sidekick in comic book history. As he ventured forth on his own, he formed the Teen Titans and became their leader. When the boy became a man, he became the independent hero known as Nightwing.
how do you think the future dick will turn out?
The only reason I like Dick as Batman is for the mainstream appeal, ppl are finally taking notice. I think they dropped the ball on Nightwing and Tomasi was on the cusp of revolutionizing his series when Bruce up and died. All those crossovers really screwed him over, the shadow of the bat would draw him back in even though he had his own agenda. I'd like more than anything to see Nightwing again, but if and when he comes back the brilliant leader/detective niche must hold. He shouldn't be looked down upon after all his accomplishments. Thats why I vote blue power ring. He won't be overpowered since the ring provides limited flight capability(in his case maybe he can construct gliders under his arms through willpower/hope) and limited protective aura(it could help his resilience to bullets and lower level metas like Slade who could man handle him in the spandex).
But it has to be gimmicky, like instead of just a ring the guardians of the universe in their infinite knowledge should design it in the form of a utility belt to play to his strength of gadgetry. Besides Grayson is essentialy a beacon of hope in a dark dark world, so it just feels right anyways. I also thought it would be interesing since the themes correlate. Take for instance the Bird emblem he wore in The New Adventures of Batman/Teen Titans/The Batman
First off the bat(see what I did there?), the suits colors coordinate nicely and you can easily modify it to appear as one of a Blue Lantern. The Bird symbol could stay and signify Adara-the representation of Hope in the emotional spectrum, to give it some meaning. Placement of the traditional BL logo goes on his belt buckle instead since the chest space is occupied.
Also note that every member of the BL corps plays a faith based/religious role, Warth=Hindu God, Brother Hynm=Shaolin Monk, Saint walker=Christianity Fish, Sister Sercy=Muslim woman, ...Dick could just as easily grow his hair out and be the messiah lol. He doesn't need to be all jesus freak though, the purpose would be for him to instill hope unto others, something he does naturally & since he's got all the DC heroes on speed dial, the ability to rally comes in handy wherever his travails would lead him. I've always liked the idea of a globe trotting Nightwing. One, since he was born in a circus and that was a way of life for him and two, for reasons I listed above-he could do frequent team ups with just about any hero he encounters ala batman brave and the bold(except Dick could actually pull it off in the comics since he's a fun character). It would put some good distance between him and the bat thats for sure.
Make him a frontrunner in the JLA, don't just bring the big 3 back. The ring would make all the difference for him as a leader. It's power can give him improved manueverability for directing his troops in a heated battle, not that he needs it~and he can glide! Batman beyond style.
Because his utility belt is only a variant of the actual ring itself, it should be uniquely limited to its correspondence with a green lantern. Maybe he can't harness it's true power but he can use it for defensive tasks like creating safety nets/energy batarangs or more tedious things like constructing forensics equipment on the go. There's a lot of potential to be had for a BL Nightwing. Bruce has worn the green, yellow and white ring so it's only fair.
"hopefully bruce actually does cut his head off sooner or later. "
Slade is'nt amused.

"@daredevil21134: I would hate this. Dick Grayson needs desperately to be his own man.. If Nightwing spearheaded the JLA he would gain so much credibility. Or even better--team him up with his best bud, Wally West for a mini I'm sure ppl would love that "
He should create a new badass identity after being batman,even if we revert to the old status quo then do so in a way that it feels like the characters have progressed.

Not Dick necessarily, Nightwing Jason Todd gains strange mutant powers
So editorial is crazy enough to pull off such a thing, even if its for a short while
