Dick Grayson, confirmed as the new Batman?

[Matrix]

This is Grant Morrison here, he practically thinks everything is non-canon unless he wrote it. I highly doubt Morrison would refer to that little stint back then when writing that piece of dialogue.

true

You need to read Morrison's storylines a lot more thoroughly if you think that. He is NOT referring to Dick breifly taking over in the 1990s, Morrison's futures usually relate to what he's writing in the present. Damien's future, currently, until there's another crisis, is the set-peice for the future of the D.C universe as far as Batman is concerned.

This can be changed of course. For example, it's the future Jean Grey that changes the past in his final New X-Men arc, where as Scott originally left Emma, Jean plants the thought of embracing Emma into his head so he doesnt leave the X-Men.

It helps when some fans can embrace change even for a little while.



From a publication standpoint, it probably is. When Marvel killed off Steve Rogers, there was no writer walking out of the company over it, and Cap's title itself just shrugged and moved forward beyond issue 25.



No wonder. Damien's future is badass

i can embrace it. its just weird seeing a guy who you grew up knowing as batman, is now gone? idk its just diffficult to embrace. after a couple of issues ill be ok.

Does anyone know what month Dick Grayson's run as Batman begins? I don't want to miss the first debut issue. *sighs* this is what happens when someone like me don't keep up.

Just read the second portion of "Last Rites"...and nothing happens to Bruce there either. Once he figures out what The Lobe is doing with him, he gives him the go-ahead to begin the cloning process. The legion of clones self-destruct being unable to cope being Batman without "Bruce Waye's soul". The Lobe, realizing it's going to be executed for failiure, destroys the lab and frees Bruce. Bruce is now a one-man army on Apokolips, armed with a god-killing bullet. The story is concluded in issue seven of Final Crisis.

It also explains how Bruce survived the helicopter explosion in RIP's cop-out ending

So all this hype led up to a presumed dead scenario?

 

[Skyknight]

Didio knew RIP didnt conclude with Bruce's death, he lied to the public in order to generate sales because FC, on schedule, would have tied in with Bruce's fate there. But we know FC went into it's well documented period of delays and editorial mandted rewrites.

I'm not sure whether to blame Dan or Morrison for the crappy direction of the Bat-verse...I mean, I can't remember the last good story I read from the guy (his New X-men run probably...?), but then again, Dan is the one who approves all of this. I am just beginning not to care, especially since Robin is being screwed in the process.

So it looks like Dick Grayson will just become A Batman. Same goes for Tim and maybe even Jason and Hush.

If I were to guess ordering the Batmen from left to right I'd say it would be Tim, Dick, Harvey Dent, and Jason. Why is Harley there though?

I think Morrison is a bit out of control and DiDio is...DiDio.

As for this thing, whatever DC. What ever.
