It’s funny how Nightwing’s fans like myself care more about Nightwing than DC does.
Didio wanted to kill him in the last Crisis he admits that he just didn’t get the character. So he wanted to kill him. 
I dig Outsiders, but Nightwing gets punked in there again and again. Taken out by a poison dart? Jason Todd ready to blow his brains out with a gun to his head? Well some of it can be excused of course if the Nightwing on Outsiders does turn out to be Jason Todd like a few people are thinking. Which would be really funny, when Supergirl was crushing on Nightwing on her book a while ago, that would mean she had a thing for Jason Todd. 
And really DC, why put Frank Miller to write Batman and Robin? Everyone knows he hates Dick Grayson, he’s not exactly shy about that. He had Batman toss him in the Batcave when he found him and told him to eat rats. And, um… hey DC, did you read Dark Night 2 and what became of Dick Grayson there? I’m not going to go into a whole DK2 bit whether you like it or hate it but would you let this guy write Dick Grayson? I wouldn’t let him touch Grayson with a ten foot pole(but I bet you Didio would…)
Now, don’t get me wrong, I love Wolfman’s writing in Nightwing, MUCH needed improvement. But what is basically going to happen under Wolfman is that he will be popular with the ladies, people in his comic will like him and he is going to beast on a whole bunch of newbies not proving how strong he is. They won’t have him take down a major gun like say, Deathstroke because the way things are it would just decrease Deathstroke’s popularity.
This is if Wolfman / Nightwing history repeats himself. Lots of people have written Wolfman that they do want to see him beat up SOMEONE major in the DC Verse to give him the props he richly diserves. We’ll see when his next arc begins. The arc he just did was mostly to repare a lot of damage done on the book so now he can enter new ground (well as much new ground as the powers that be at DC let him get away with…)
He is supposed to be one of DC’s best fighters after Batman, he just doesn’t get props like that. Hell even Green Arrow gets to take out Deathstroke with an arrow to the eye and Nightwing never does anything big like that.
So really, fat chance of Dick Grayson becoming Batman for even 2 seconds under the current DC administration.
I think he would make a good Batman, but I see him as a much more, ‘sane’ Batman. He wouldn’t make being Batman his entire life like Bruce did. Even Batman’s death would not turn him that way. He would still fit as a Batman though, if you look at Bruce in any of his books right now they are softening his character a bit after the Crisis. Why he even said “Thank You” to a fellow JLA member! :wow:
But again, he is a little too likeable. Like I always say, because he lost his family early in life he is always looking for that dynamic in his life which is why he works well with teams, because of this he even has better leadership qualities than Bruce. Writing him like Batman, well that’s a problem in itself. Lots of writers like the hack that is Devin Grayson write him like he’s junior Batman, it just doesn’t fit. I’m not saying it can’t be done, but I haven’t seen it.
Heh, in the Batman and Captain America crossover Bats fought with Cap during World War II. Then later in our time when Captain America was found in ice he was discoverd by Dick Grayson who now was Batman and Bruce’s son became Robin. Well, in a perfect world…
