"spending his days working at the Lucius Fox Center for Gotham Youth.
Bruce Wayne has no recollection of being Batman."
It's not everyday we see Bruce pull an Oliver, usually considered the other way around.
Not a big fan of the bat but, i really feel happy for him. I think Batman DOES deserve a break. Why would Superman want to destroy that peace? He of all people, the REAL superman, not the one writers have in mind, should understand the gift-curse paradox. He strives for a human life as Clark Kent, he believes he can have both, happiness and responsibility. Unfortunately, being what he is, Superman can't just stand by and let his powers go to waste. But Batman initially chose what he became, and now if he can move past that guilt and torment, if he can finally fall asleep, then yeah Batman ought to have that. He's not immortal. He's done his time and if he does anymore, he'll likely go crazy. That's WAAAY too much stress for one guy.
Like Alfred says, it's time to pass the baton on, and there's a whole incorporation full of people that are capable of doing the job (though Commish Gordon is the last of those choices.) Batwing, Nightwing, Tim, Barbera, Spoiler, that brat, Cain, as a TEAM,... could accomplish more or nearly as much, however you want to call it, as the Batman. Though Nightwing has said it before, even when he wore the cowl, Bruce is THE Batman, Nightwing certainly can't fill his combat boots alone. But I believe Tim and Damian, and Cassandra Cain are formidable. Oracle has her own skills, Batwing has tech, and influence in politics and all that. Heck, even Alfred can do his part. Game's not over, let Bruce rest, at least for a while.
