Which Robin *right now* would best replace Batman?

[Lightning Strike]

There's a rumor circulating that DC is going to kill Batman off and replace him with someone else like Marvel did with Captain America.

So, if DC did do that, which Robin (former or current) would best be suited to don the mantle of Batman and continue his crusade?

Personally, I wouldn't want ANY of them to become Batman. I definitely would NOT want Nightwing to become Batman (it would be way out of character for him to do so), Tim is not ready, Cassandra is a mess emotionally, and even if they bring Stephanie back, she's too inexperienced in every facet.

The best replacement right now for Batman would be Jason. He's ready and very capable. But I doubt DC would do it since they just coined him "Red Robin". Thoughts?

Todd and Dick are the only 2 capable of doing the job. I think Grayson would be a good choice but, i think they will go a different way.

[Dr. Solar]

I think the only people capable would be Jason or Dick.

Both don't really feel right to me though in one way or the other. I think I would prefer Jason, I'm sure that would put a nice spin on it. Especially with Dick being Jason's peer/superior.

Maybe Wolverine will do it.

Grayson would be a horrible choice. He always said that he never wants to be Batman. That he wants to be his own man. Taking up the mantle of Batman would fly in the face of Grayson's continuity.

Ya well great men are not driven to power it is thrust apon them

I could see him doing it reluctantly out of some sense of responsibility or tradition or in Bruce's honor, but not because he wants to.

[Drift]

There is no man that could fulfill the role to the same capacity that Bruce does.

Jason is too selfish
Dick won't
Tim, as mentioned is not ready
Cas can't because it is bat-MAN, there is already a batwoman.

That leaves only one option...
















BATMITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Azrael again

Do you have a link to this rumor? I don't see a repeat of back being broken, and I think DD at DC has to much respect to do that to the character.

I heard tha Warner Bros (DC's parent company) told them to forget that
idea, now there saying that Martian Manhunter and/or Aquaman will bite
the bullet.

[Drift]

Kill Aquaman.
He has been succeeded by his son anyway.

[Daniel Jackson]

I wish they would just stick to writing good stories and quit with the whole "let's kill off an icon to sell some books fast" game. Bruce Wayne is Batman, Clark Kent is Superman, Steve Roger is Captain America... period.

Back when I was reading Batman, Dick was the obvious successor. Would work for me unless things have changed since then.

No! Not the Martian Manhunter!

Seriously, he's one of the DC characters I actually like.

The easiest answer would be what power doesn't he have?
He has flight, super speed, super strength, invulnerability (except when it comes to fire), telepathy, shape shifting, invisibility, intangibility and Martian vision.

[Chiclo]

Martian Manhunter has almost as many powers as Superman.

No word on superbaking or superweaving, though.

I've re-visited the Stupor Powers section at Superdickery lately.

[superman-prime]

And he has some supes does not have

[Lightning Strike]

And he has some supes does not have

IMO, J'onn is more powerful than Superman, unfortunately, they never write him that way even though it's painfully obvious that he is.
