Did anybody actually want Bruce to 'die' and Dick to be Batman? Dick certainly didn't. He loved being Nightwing. This is his worst nightmare, and he's admitted as much. Sure, he's the natural heir to the cowl, but don't pretend like this is the step on his career path. Ugh.
I won't get into the Batgirl teases. He better be bluffing, is all I'm saying.
