Richard Grayson(the first Robin and formerly Nightwing) is now the new BATMAN! The new Robin is a little sociopath named Damion, Bruce Wayne's illegitimate son who was raised by the League of Shadows. And Timothy Drake Wayne(The 3rd Robin) is now Red Robin.

Wasn’t Jason Todd the first one, or are we not to speak of him. Everyone wanted him dead and forgotten.

Jason was the second Robin, who later went on to become Red Hood.

My mistake, they put him from another universe. There is about six Robins so far. You think start listing legacy heroes since there is a big number of the passing the baton in DC. Let it be known the Richard Dick Grayson First to be Robin Second to be Nightwing (jimmy olson) Second, to become batman and continue the legacy. ( We are not counting superman, Alfred, or that time in order to trick person who expected it was Bruce. And counting Terry Mcginnis afterward because he become batman in the future) Should we keep a count for the legacy heroes and villains?

Ah, the same thing happened to Kamen Rider Skull. Narumi Sokichi, a detective in the windy city of Fuuto, has taken up an identity that not even his partner, Hidari Shotaro, knows about, embracing the pure hard-boiled manliness that is the Skull Gaia Memory, and the form it takes when combined with the detective; KAMEN RIDER SKULL When Narumi Sokichi is defeated when not in the Skull costume, his partner is left to his own devices, to continue the detective work in the windy city of Fuuto. Taking in a mysterious partner whom he named Phillip, Hidari Shotaro acquires the Joker Gaia Memory, and is thus able to become the next-generation's masked hero; KAMEN RIDER JOKER "So, are you ready to count up for your crimes?"

Batman,Inc. got renewed as part of the retcon, it just won't be back until next year. DC wouldn't scrap one of their bestselling titles, it's just being reworked at present. Not to say that parts of the reboot don't suck completely. Making Dick Nightwing again seems cold, and leaving both Cassandra Cain(Batgirl IV) and Stephanie Brown(Robin IV, Batgirl V) without books is absolutely harsh. For the record, I hate the reboot, but maybe I'm just upset that a lot of my favorite characters are getting scrapped and a lot of my favorite books are being brought to an early end. I'll give DC a chance, but I have a feeling I'm going to take a break from the DCU after the reboot...unless of course the rumor that Gail Simone is going to cram Renee Montoya, Steph, and Cass into the new Batgirl as supporting characters is true, then I'll probably be satisfied. As for the new Teen Titans book they have coming, I'm really not feeling it. The redesigns look awful, and it just doesn't come across as being very interesting even though it features two of my favorite DCU characters(Connor Kent and Tim Drake). I dunno, it felt like all of the characters in the old DCU were just starting to find their proper places, and now DC's gone and messed things up. I remain hopeful that the reboot will turn out okay. But I'm not keeping my fingers crossed. EDIT: Here's the cover for Teen Titans #1, due out in September. A few questions. 1.What the hell is Connor Kent wearing? 2.What the hell is with that crappy Tattoo. 3.No seriously, what the hell? 4.Which Kid Flash is that...I'm genuinely interested in that actually, depending on who it is his interactions with Tim and Connor could be interesting. 5.Why is Donna Troy on this team? Honestly, I'm not in favor of removing anyone from continuity, but I HATE Donna Troy and I don't want her in one of the few books I might read. 6.Who are the new characters and why do they look like the just got spat out of "Youngblood" 7.Why did DC think this was a good idea? Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but as Obi-Wan once...twice...okay, several times...said, "I have a bad feeling about this."

To answer your question three they need Wonder Woman character. Of course they could just have added a new Amazon for it. Champ, I am afraid to ask but can explain a little of your hatred. I don’t have that much knowledge on Teen Titans so I can’t judge. Teen Titans is one of the things that got rebooted Linkara is in rage because of that. He made retrospective about that. The past of it was erase Looking at new teen titans go cartoon I think I have figured it out. It is flanderization. Going for the extreme, thou fun as it is, you lose what made the character, and Fixing it is going to be a real hassle.

I've been reading the New52 since it started, and it did have a lot of problems, most notably, the loss of legacies. DC is attempting to fix that with the current event, REBIRTH. Changes: -New52 Superman is dead, and replaced by the Pre-Flashpoint Superman(whose stories I grew up reading). He was trapped by Brainiac in a dimension outside the Multiverse when the Flashpoint changed everything. -The return of Wally West, the original Kid Flash and post-Crisis Flash. He was trapped in the Speed Force when the Flashpoint occured, and had been watching the events of the New52. He is also aware of a presence that attacked when everything rebooted, stealing 10 years of love and hope from the DCU, resulting in its present state. -Batman has learned that there are not one, but have been THREE Jokers. He does not know what this means yet. Each Joker is from a different era in comic history. -The enemy is presumably Dr. Manhattan, a reality warping superhuman from the story "Watchmen". It may be his hand holding the breaking hourglass in the image below. Dr. Manhattan is the most powerful being in his universe, able to create and destroy at will, essentially a god by all definitions of the term. The setup for REBIRTH:

The Blood splatter is a motif utilized in Watchmen, typically against a yellow circle, most notably the smiley face pin. The Pin belonged to one of the Watchmen, The Comedian, who is murdered in the beginning of the story. The significance of the watch is a countdown to doomsday, a direct reference to the Doomsday Clock. At the end of Watchmen, the clock strikes 12, when the character Ozymandias executes a devastating attack on humanity, and ushers in world peace. Rorschach is killed by Dr. Manhattan to keep the attack a secret... Watchmen ends ominously though... The book the boy is about to pick up was sent by Rorschach, before his death. Now the clock is ticking for the DC Universe. Bruce and Barry are on the case. They may learn the story of the Watchmen, and why Dr. Manhattan stole the love and hope from their universe.

Well yeah, I know the significance of the blood spatter and it's positioning reminiscent of the "11th hour" on the doomsday clock, but I'm wondering why they had to try to make a weaksauce reference by making the blood spatter at the 1:00 position, like 'Beyond doomsday"
