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.”

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

Ideally? No one. Bruce Wayne retired, so has the cowl, and someone else has taken up his duty protecting Gotham in their own way.
Most likely? Bruce is somehow still Batman or Dick is Batman.Last edited by lemonpeace; 10-31-2018 at 09:08 AM.
THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki
also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.
currently following:
- DC: Red Hood: The Hill
- Marvel: TBD
- Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

I am surprised to see that more people voted Damian than Dick.
