I've done some digging and most fingers point to Grayson/Nightwing being Batman at the end of the arc....Any opinions?

I've said it before and I stay firm, Nightwing will become Batman, they've hinted/left clues since the last year:

1-Will Nightwing be in R.I.P?

Yeah, you'll see alot of Dick Grayson in the Batman book during R.I.P and after-Morrison

Note how he didn't say that Nightwing would be in the batman book

2-What would people think if "hypotetically" speaking, Bruce Wayne died and Dick Grayson took over the mantle?-Dan Didio

3-"I knew that I would never be as good as my father or Dick Grayson, but I knew that I couldn't leave Gotham without a Batman"-Damian Wayne during Batman number 666

I think Tim will become the next Batman and Dick should just be Nightwing.

I believe that Tim Drake will take the mantle of Nightwing, he was introduced as a NW fanboy and I can see him willing to accept taking that mantle while he hates the idea of becoming Batman

in the litlle text of Batman 682 it said the "next age of the dark knight begins or does it..." it might mean Batman is still Bruce Wayne

Yes.Cap dies..gets replaced by his sidekick.Batman dies...get's replaced by his sidekick.Only think that would make it more like what Cap did is if Jason Todd would have become Batman.

That's like the only similarity between the two.

Batman will not be publically assasinated, DC hasn't had a CW, Nightwing wasn't a Soviet soldier.......

Any way you cut it..it's the same thing.Major street level hero gets killed than replaced by his sidekick that he basically raised.

I know..I'm just saying that when I heard the title RIP I knew the conclusion would be someone else becoming Batman..whether he died or not.I was actually thinking he would retire...but I should known from the title,he would be killed.

No, he won't. He established his own identity/character many years ago. He'll never become Batman, cause that's not who he is.

DC whanted too kill off Nightwing mant times but they always decide he is too important in the DC world wich agree making him the next batmna would solve that crisis Tim drake could become Nightwing and Batmans brat could be the next Robin they are all in the respective age for it all too happen.

Dick is in is early 30s this when Bruce first started as Batman, Tim is in is 18/19 this is when Robin became Nightwing and Damian is in is 13ns making him the right age too become batman, but i still doubt any of this would happen, Bruce will be Batmna for a few more years i think....

NO.

It's a sliding timescale.

Dick is only in his twenties.
Bruce is in his late thirties.
Tim is around 16/17.
