Batman: Battle for the Cowl

[Ore-sama]

[HIDE]I just read the information on one of the new series after Battle for the Cowl, Batman and Robin, and it said that there will be a newer, "light-hearted and spontaneous" Batman and a newer, "scowling, bad-ass" Robin. I don't think Jason would be Batman due to major personality differences and Nightwing is way too dark to be the new Batman, so I thoguht it could be Tim Drake. But now I'm actually thinking Nightwing because of Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul's biological son. Why? Because when I saw the teaser image for Batman and Robin, I saw that the new Robin is much younger than Tim, around Damian's age to be precise, and Damian's got a personality that suites the new Robin and if you read the comics, Nightwing has sorta 'taken him under his wing". So Dick could be the new Batman and and Damian could be the new Robin.[/HIDE]

Well according to what I've read Grant Morrison said "It will be reminiscent of Adam West's Batman".

How could you think it might be Hush? He is at Wayne Enterprise and some private jail, that's where Nightwing and Robin throw him in.

...maybe he has escape. I don't know.

My bet would be Jason.

The Batman with the guns and ammo is either suppose to be Hush or Jason.

 

[ForeverRed]

^ Either way.

Here's the preview of #2.

[Rainboy]

Ed Benes on Batman? Ew. I'm so sick of his art. I don't know why he's so popular, his art just comes off as lazy, sloppy, and rushed all at the same time.

 

[Eldar]

Looks like the new batman has been revealed [hide] to no suprise as Dick Grayson. [/hide]

 

[VengeanceGOD]

If Dick is gonna be Batman, and Damian is going to be Robin, what the hell is Tim doing? Red Robin?

 

[Skyknight]

If Dick is gonna be Batman, and Damian is going to be Robin, what the hell is Tim doing? Red Robin?

Tim would have the most reason to seek out Bruce, plus he's young enough to react against the madness that's unfolded in Bruce's abcense

 

[ForeverRed]

If Dick is gonna be Batman, and Damian is going to be Robin, what the hell is Tim doing? Red Robin?

That's exactly what I'm expecting. I have a feeling that Jason Todd might be the Red Robin. That'd be so badass.

If not, then Tim could be one.

BTW, I got two Battle for the Cowl comic books today.

Oracle: The Cure, Part 1 of 3.
Commissioner Gordon

I read both. That was pretty interesting. Can't wait for Oracle: The Cure, Part 2 and others.
