    I disagree with your disagreements"
    Nightwing is the only guy suitable to take Bats place.

    Besides, Have you not said in a thread before "I've never read a Batman comic OR a Captain America comic"?

    I agree with the statment of dick being the only one capable of becoming Batman i mean who knows Batman longer then him and Alfred, no one + dick is as good of a detective as bruce the only one who surpeses them is Tim Drake but in terms of Combat Batman and Nightwing win in that area, between the 3 Dick is the most balanced os them all and i mean u had too see this coming the 1st robin becoming Batman it was due for a long time already, it will be interisting if tim remains as Robin and suports Dick i wonder how that will afect their relationship???

    What's the difference of been Nightwing or Batman? the only difference is the cities and that he will wear a full mask and cape.... Gotham wont be a big deal since he was in Gotham to begin with.. he wont be some noob stranger trying to defend Gotham.

    .... Nightwing is more than ready sh!t he is Nightwing damit! but I really hope someone else take the bat mantel I like Nightwing better than Batman..

    Nightwing won't become Batman. Nightwing is and has been an established character of his own from the as far back as the eighties. He won't become Batman. Bruce is and will always and forever be Batman, and has many more years left in him as the Caped Crusader.

    It has nothing to do with me writing Batman. Dick/Nightwing has grown out of Batman's shadow/sidekick years ago, and has even stated to Bruce personally that he has no desire to fill his shoes and become the Batman. He's done before after Nightfall, when Dick filled in for Bruce after Bruce and company sorted out Sean Paul Valley, and Bruce, after stuffing up the first time and giving to to Azreal, stated to Dick that although he's defeated him, he wasn't quite ready to jump back into the Batsuit, and asked Dick to MOMENTARILY fill in for him till he comes back, and Dick agreed to do that on that basis, and he did a fine job, but I don't think that Dick ever had or ever will have the desire to become Batman. Just my take on it from everything i've read on them both.

    only difference is the outfit and some features in attitude and judgment, but my post was referring to the Gadgets, Martial arts, mystery etc. they are the same because Bruce was the one who taught him how to work, well most part anyway

    the biggest difference would be Dick's acrobatics I think..

    I agree with you and I really hope is this way. I really think Nightwing is better and they should let Dick be nightwing and find someone else to be Bats.. maybe let Tim do it; it would be awesome since Damian would be furious.. Imagine Tim as Batman and Damian roaming Gotham in a Batman suit as well fallowing the rivalry... that would be sweet...


    A lot of people like Tim since he does great detective work,  I think he should be Bats with Nightwing or Barbara's supervision from time to time that be interesting.. well that's what I think XD

    Yea it does...It doesn't matter what you think because you don't know for sure what DC will do with Batman so you can't just say Nightwing won't be Batman because if DC wants to make that way they will do it..who the hell are you to say what will and what will not happen?

    He's not saying it's a fact, it's just what he thinks it's not like he said everyone was retarded and he knew for sure that such and such would happen.
    Anyway, I think he'll do a poor job as batman, just because one changes their costume it doesn't make one any better at fighting crime (unless your costume helps you fight crime and your new one is even stronger then the old, which isn't the case for nightwing). I believe he will be overwhelmed and need help then a few volumes later bruce will show up again. If bruce wasn't needed, I don't think he'd be Batman.

    If you mean as a character, the only comics I've ever thought were bad were the spirit and scooby doo so I don't think I'll even notice.

    I guess your writing Batman?"

    It has nothing to do with me writing Batman. Dick/Nightwing has grown out of Batman's shadow/sidekick years ago, and has even stated to Bruce personally that he has no desire to fill his shoes and become the Batman. He's done before after Nightfall, when Dick filled in for Bruce after Bruce and company sorted out Sean Paul Valley, and Bruce, after stuffing up the first time and giving to to Azreal, stated to Dick that although he's defeated him, he wasn't quite ready to jump back into the Batsuit, and asked Dick to MOMENTARILY fill in for him till he comes back, and Dick agreed to do that on that basis, and he did a fine job, but I don't think that Dick ever had or ever will have the desire to become Batman. Just my take on it from everything i've read on them both."
    Yea it does...It doesn't matter what you think because you don't know for sure what DC will do with Batman so you can't just say Nightwing won't be Batman because if DC wants to make that way they will do it..who the hell are you to say what will and what will not happen?"
    He's not saying it's a fact, it's just what he thinks it's not like he said everyone was retarded and he knew for sure that such and such would happen.
    Anyway, I think he'll do a poor job as batman, just because one changes their costume it doesn't make one any better at fighting crime (unless your costume helps you fight crime and your new one is even stronger then the old, which isn't the case for nightwing). I believe he will be overwhelmed and need help then a few volumes later bruce will show up again. If bruce wasn't needed, I don't think he'd be Batman.

    If you mean as a character, the only comics I've ever thought were bad were the spirit and scooby doo so I don't think I'll even notice.

    He didn't have to say it was fact, the words "NIGHTWING WILL NOT BE BATMAN" Is opinion as fact.There wasn't an IMO in there or an "I think" nothing like that.That is a statement that is either true or false.I don't want Nightwing to be Batman..frankly I could careless if anyone ever became Batman again...my problem was with that statement.
