    Default In 2039, who wears the cowl?

    Batman's 100th anniversary is less than 21 years away.

    Picture this:

    It is the year 2039. Incredibly, DC has NOT further hard-rebooted its continuity the years between now and then.

    Who should be wearing the cowl by then, and why?

    Poll forthcoming.

    Me:

    Bruce Wayne or bust.

    I will always root for the single-identity hero over any legacy mantle (or will settle for a merger of all legacies into one hybrid, in the case of say, the Flash).

    But that's just me.

    Helena Wayne of Earth Prime or Damian.

    Bruce should be too old (he was too old 50 years ago, but whatever), and Dick has his own thing with Nightwing.

    And yes, still holding out hope that Helena Wayne of the main continuity makes her debut.

    Bruce will have become bat god by then and one of his sons will become his human avatar.

    100th Anniversary, 200th Anniversary, reboot, no reboot..Bruce Wayne is Batman.
    Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft

    Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

    Bruce Wayne; Batman # 26 Vol 1 (1,944) had a future Batman who was the 20th Descendant to be given the name Bruce Wayne. The real question is if the Expansion Of Robin’s has stopped. Damian at the age of 13 is as safe as Dick Grayson was for 40+ Years. An 18 Y/O Damian will become Nightwing because Bruce Wayne can simply exist in universes where there are no Robin’s

    Bruce Wayne mate, all the way. You can put whoever behind the cowl, in the end, Batman will ALWAYS be Bruce Wayne.
    My favorite characters of all time are Bruce Wayne and Dracula.

    Should be Damian, but it probably would be Bruce, he is fighting the Joker after pushing the batfamily away because of his secrets and manipulations.

    I voted Damian [though his Dad is still around doing something like marriage]

    However I suspect it will still be Bruce as Batman. He's western comics most valuable character.

    Bruce Wayne is destined to wear the cowl forever.

    One day he’ll die, be replaced by a clone Bruce whose in his prime and continue the war his predecessor started.

    Mantle should have fallen to Pre Red Robin Tim by then.
