Yes, but again, my point is that turning Bruce into an Oracle figure won't instantly devalue him as a character, especially if they already have someone else running around in the cowl-and-cape that fans like.
As I understand it, Dick Grason's run under the Bat-Mask has been well received, so that point is covered already.
I'll put this in simpler terms. Fans don't care what Bruce Wayne does outside of his "core" books that affect him as an overall character and in continuity. Batman Beyond is an alternate universe and people realize it is just for fun and will have no affect on what happens to Bruce Wayne.
Bruce Wayne will always be Bruce Wayne. DC will always keep Bruce Wayne as the World's Greatest Detective in his books in continuity. Anything out of continuity, people realize is just for a good read
