      Who will be the new Batman?

      For those who dont knew due not reading comics Batman just die a month ago (or something like that -_-) killed by Darkside
      so Bruce Wayne will no longer be batman for a long time
      next month will start a 3 month comic named the Battle of the Cowl
      which will pretty much be a three way battle between the three Robins to see who gets to be the new batman

      for those who dont know who they are here is a short explanation on each

      Dick grayson

      the first robin, he founded the Teen titans and then change his name to nightwing, became a police man for a while he protected Blüdhaven a city next to gotham but way worst
      after a depression due that he left the vigilante Tarantula kills the mob boss Blockboster and later get ¨raped¨ by her he became a guardsman for one of the city`s mafia boss, he then turn breifley into Renegate but after he made a deal with the vilain Deathstroke to train his daughter he turns back, he made another deal with Deathstroke, get all supervillains out of Blüdhaven in exchange of his daughters sake
      he manage to clean his city of any supervillain or mafia crime only to see the city being completly destroyed by a nuclear attack from Chemo and the SoSV
      he moves to new york and became its protector and later reforms his old group of Titans only to leave after 10 issues, he left NY and return to gotham cause it needs him much more

      Jason Todd

      Jason Todd is better known as the Robin who died, jason finded out that his mom was still alive and his seach for her let him to find out that she was being coerced by the joker, the joker captures jason and beat the hell out of him with a crowbar and leave him in a storage with a bomb which kills him and his mom, due a reality fracture provoced by Superboy-Prime jason was brought back to life but the damage on his head due to joker`s beatup leave him kinda lost and mentally ill after coming back, he became a vagabond onthe crime alley but he is later found by talia al gul, Talia uses one of the lazarus pit to cure Jason
      after coming back he became Red hood (Joker´s code name before falling in the chemicals pit) he became a vigilante killing crimebosses, stealling goods and money from them and became a grave menace to all gotham underworld, he later captures the Joker and beat the hell out of him with a crow bar, he confronts batman, nightwing, and the new Robin.
      during countdown to Final Crisis he travel to other realities with Donna Troy (ex-Wondergirl) and Kyle Rainer (green lantern) in one he encounters a batman who has become a vigilante after his reality Jason todd got killed, he gave him the Red Robin suit but he get rid of it after returning to his own dimension

      Tim Drake

      Tim Drake became robin after deducing batmans and nightwings real identity
      different from the other robin´s Tim still had living family, he live with his father and still became Robin at his back, later his father discover his secret and he left robins suit, this let to his former girlfriend stephanie (spoiler) became the new robin, a plan to help him recover his mood to be robin, later stephanie gets captured by the Mob lord BlackMask, tortures her and kill her, Tim return to be Robin, later due the events of identity crisis Tim loses his father too
      and finally his best friend Conner Kent Superboy dies during Infinite crisis
      all this led to Tim to become angry, cold and desperate to the point of trying to clone Conner an use the Lazarus pit to return his friends and finally
      Later Spoiler returns as a result that she had faked her dead to prevent other teens to follow their steps, she and Tim started dated again but Tim change led them to bad terms
      Tim forces stephanie to leave her spoiler suit and take a much more harder way to be a Robin, ways that result on using scarecrow gas, liberate Jason Todd from prison among others

        @Ravager:

        so Bruce Wayne will no longer be batman for a long time

        A year at best.

        And it will be Dick. It has t be. That's what he has been coming to for the last few years.

          This belongs in the american comics thread. Bruce isn't even out of the picture, he just won't be interacting with the other DCU characters.

          Anyways, the answer is Dick with Damian as Robin.

              It SHOULD be Cassandra, aka current Batgirl. Batman never trained the others to replace him, and all three have gone on to have their own missions in life, but Cassandra has always followed the most closely in Bruce's steps. But that's not happening so:

              Tim has never expressed a want to be Batman, already knows he'll be a crappy Batman based on events in Teen Titans, and has a hard time coping with loss so he'll probably try to bring Bruce back. If anything he'll be Red Robin.

              Jason Todd wants to be Batman badly but he won't be in the cowl for very long because Dick and Tim will stop him. (he and Superboy Prime should go start the annoying whiny bitch club)

              In the end it'll be Dick aka Nightwing, who at first thinks Batman can't be replaced and through the dramatic events of Battle for the Cowl comes to realize that Gotham needs a Batman and ultimately takes the mantle. And as RuNa said Damien will be Robin.

              ArticUNO ZapDOS MolTRES!!!!!!!!

              Holy crap, I never noticed that!

                  Stupid. I haven't read Batman since the HUSH Arc (I know, long time), but back then it seemed clear that Tim Drake would not only replace Batman, but become a much better detective. Sad that so much build up for him was ruined with deaths upon deaths (fake or otherwise).

                    ok, in some ways I agree with you, but gogo did make a good point. Plus, it is so unexpected and interesting. I mean, of coarse she's not a man, but if she can fill the boots, who cares as long as the job gets done, right.

                      Kay, guys, I know we're all rooting for one of the Robins, but DC IS kind of hinting at other characters within the Bat family vying for the position, and I do think that it would be kind of douchey to rule them out for this poll. Not that it matters to me, I vote for Dick now and forever for next Bats, but other people have other opinions, ya know?

                        It is not an opinion. It is a FACT that Dick will be Batman, Damian will be Robin, and Tim will be Red Robin.

                          actually i should have put a 4 option like ¨others¨in case of a surprice but on an interview one of the writters comment this to a question

                          • Will the whole DC Universe be involved in Battle for the Cowl? Daniel: Not really. We're going to see a few of the central characters like Tim Drake, Dick Grayson and Jason Todd as the main focus of the story. The battle is pretty much a three-way battle. It's going to be limited to just Gotham City. It's a very personal battle.

                          thought there are other guys that will be wearing batman costumes on the serie like two face

                            It's a teaser for the whole "Battle for the Cowl" storyline. BTW, I have that poster (I got it at NYCC).

                            Notice Alfred there? That's referencing his position in "Batman and the Outsiders". The whole poster is filled with clues, not a straight-forward thing on what will happen.

                              Damien should be Batman, that psychotic mofo would scare the crap out of villains.

                                Seriously, DC needs to work Beyond into their official universe. That show was great.

                                Banner by 8bit of Otakuboards. I'm using it here too because it's that awesome.
