I doubt that dick grayson is going to be batman, he is already his own hero, and it seems that tim is going to be the new red robin, which im cool with. I think it will give tim the opportunity to grow even more as a his own hero and a character. As for batman and robin, i think that jason todd will be batman and damien will be robin, and i hear that Barbara is coming back as batgirl.

unless they change it to where Dick is acting more like himself then a stand in for Bruce like he did in Prodical I dont see why he needs to be Batman again unless DC is trying to hide the fact that Prodial even happened. I’d hate to see Dick be batman again he felt uncomfortable and it was all an act for him. But to raise Damien and train him that be interesting tho I always thought it should be Batgirl who should handle damien.
As for the new Azrael i’m not all that clear on his jean paul valleys back ground but was He was a husband and a father? because thats what the solicts say.

anyway where is everyone getting all this info on whats coming up I want to read it too

i really enjoyed this. i absolutely love tim. but i dont want his to be batman. i think that dick has the best ability to actually grow as a character under the cowl. (and if the tomorrow arc of TT was any indication- tim will just go a bit nuts under it.-which i dont want at all)
i DO want conner to come back tho. and bart. . .
i agree with Jacin. i hate what they r doing right now. bruce will be back. he has to be back and damian is a little shit.
i know this is a side note but has it been confirmed about wats happening to Oracle? so much is floating around but i cant find anything solid.

@ Brad: I agree that Tim’s been the best Robin thus far (I like Mr. Grayson better as Nightwing than I ever did having him as Robin). I, personally, hate what they’re doing with all of the characters right now, though.

I’ve enjoyed Tim Drake since he got the job. It’s been a while since I picked up one but it looks like this will be well worth it. Personally i’ve always liked Tim the best of all Robins.

I still don’t see the point of this, no matter how well done it is. You have a dark, driven Batman already, so why take him out of the picture, grab a different character with his own issues and personality, and force him to become a shorter version of the Batman you just tossed aside?

There was a cover shot, I think from the first issue of Battle for the Cowl, that looks like DC thinks Damian can be turned into a goofy comic-relief Robin. Not with that character’s background. This is starting to feel like someone took all the masks and cowls from the Batfolk, laid them out in a row, and made the worst possible casting decisions to fill them. I just hope they can, and are willing to, get everyone back where they need to be after this has run its course and Bruce comes back as Batman. (Bonus points if it involves Conner Kent announcing that he has returned, and Dick can have the Nightwing name back again.)

New Azarael is just that Azrael, brought back from the dead by a higher power. Dick IS going to be the new Batman and Damian WILL become the new Robin. The “Robin” comic will end and it will be called “Red Robin” from now on….

I would say that this is a bit of a tease here with tim donning the red robin cape and cowl. there is still a good chance that he will become batman in battle for the cowl. especially with kingdom come things coming true, then dick may eventually be red robin. personally I dont want to see dick as batman because he has already done it. I would much more enjoy it if they would give tim or jason a shot. which may come true with the rumor out that it is jason todd that becomes batman and that damian either kills him or is responsible for his death which then leads to bruce coming back as batman. I think the bigger questions right now are who is the new azrael and who is the owlman soon to be seen in the outsiders.

Rift: You are probably right about this being a downer if you are hoping for an uplifting series. You might want to try Booster Gold as it is pretty light.

You know, I don’t mean to say that I disagree with the review, but I’m sick of dark stories.

I need to start reading something more positive and uplifting.

It’s probably not the right place to say this, but that’s the way I felt after reading about Tim Drake becoming Red Robin.
