Nightwing Black Bat Batgirl Cassandra Cain Batman Red Robin Tim Drake
Many have long argued that Nightwing, as Batman’s first partner and the original Robin, is the rightful heir to the cowl when the Dark Knight steps down or meets his end. Even DC has backed this notion, showcasing Dick Grayson donning the cowl during moments when Bruce Wayne was believed dead or out of commission. But with one comic, it’s become undeniable: Batgirl Cassandra Cain is the true successor to the Dark Knight.

These subtle echoes of the Dark Knight make it increasingly clear that Batgirl is his true successor—particularly for one reason that also reveals why Nightwing can never fully step into the role: Cassandra’s unwavering claim to Gotham as her own.
The Two Definitive Reasons Dick Grayson Should NEVER Inherit the Batman Mantle Comic Panel of Dick Grayson Admitting He Doesn't Want To Be Batman Comes From Batman and Robin #2 ✕ Remove Ads One of the main reasons—perhaps the most important—why Dick Grayson should be disqualified from succeeding Bruce as Batman is simple: he doesn’t want the role.
✕ Remove Ads On morality alone, there’s a strong case for disqualifying both Dick Grayson and Jason Todd as potential successors. Both have demonstrated that they see exceptions to Batman’s “No-Kill” rule. Jason, of course, is the more extreme example, having adopted anti-heroic beliefs that certain criminals deserve to die. However, even Dick has shown that, under enough pressure, he will cross the line—as seen in Joker: Last Laugh #6 , where he kills the Joker.
