So one week today we'll know the ultimate fate of Bruce Wayne.
One week today DC sells out there star hero for comic book sales, one wee today it all ends for The Dark Knight.
One week from today, Grant Morrisson kills Batman.
Nightwing, Robin and Birds of Prey all end this month in a shock announcement by DC.
No reason was given as to why.
Bruce Wayne won't die, but he'll suffer more of a 'spiritual death'.
So whose gonna take his place?
Nightwing aka Dick Grayson.......probably.

It's the fateful, final "Batman" Last Rites" issue featuring an "Origins and Omens" backup! As Robin, Dick Grayson fought alongside Batman as part of the dynamic duo, the greatest crime-fighting team in history. As Nightwing, he teamed up with his peers to combat injustice in the Titans and the Outsiders. Now, Dick Grayson faces the most important battle of his life. Batman is dead. The Mantle of the Bat must be passed, but it will require all of Dick's training and skills to carry out the last wishes of Bruce Wayne and protect Gotham City. Will it be enough to protect himself from the dangers that await
him? Or is this the last the world will see of Nightwing?
FINAL ISSUE • On sale February 4 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
ROBIN #183 FINAL ISSUE • On sale February 18 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US

A "Batman: Last Rites" tie-in and featuring an "Origins and Omens" backup story! Gotham City has found a new hero and his name is Robin - but with a battle for Batman's cowl looming, is Tim Drake ready to become something more? Guest-starring Jason Todd and Lady Shiva. And don't worry, this final issue doesn't mark the end of Robin - it's just the start of an all-new beginning!
Battle for the Cowl will involve Hush, Nightwing, Catwoman, Tim Drake and Jason Todd.
But there really is only one possible replacement for Bruce Wayne as the Bat, isn't there?
Alfred. Yes Alfred. Okay maybe not the butler but it would be hilarious to see Alfred throw down with Gotham's ugliest.
No we're talking Dick Grayson. That's right Dick Grayson.
He has to be the next Batman. He's got the history, the skills, the respect, the tragedy and is almost Bruce's equal in every respect.
He did it once in Prodigal Son, but can he truly be Batman?
Yeah probably, until the next crisis when Bruce returns as good ol' batty!
Exciting times ahead for Bat fans!
