BlackGeekdom Science-Fiction from a Different Perspective

So we finally know who will replace Batman the orginal Robin – Dick Grayson.   Was this a surprise to anyone ?  I didn’t think so I will say that Tony Daniel did a great job with art and the writing.    His  story wasn’t necessarily a Batman it was a story about a great man and the burden that it places on his sons.    While reading this I  kept thinking about the TV show Dallas and the battles between JR and Bobby over their fathers oil company Ewing Oil.     Tim, Dick and Jason have all have their issue with dealing with Bruce’s loss.   Tim wants it but he’s not ready , Jason isn’t emotionally stable enough to do the  job the way it needs to be done.   That leaves Dick as the only choice for job, despite Bruce’s request that he not don the mantle of the bat.    

So here’s the new status quo of the Bat family:

Dick Grayson aka Nightwing is now Batman 

Damien Wayne is now Robin  (Damien is Batman’s son if your confused read Batman and Son)

Tim Drake is now Red Robin

Jason Todd is dead (as if falling into a river can kill you in comic book)
