Bruce Wayne Quits Batman
DC Comics

Following the spine-bending events of Knightfall, Bruce Wayne took another hiatus from the Batman role to do a little soul searching.

This time he was more discerning when passing on the torch, handing it to the original Robin Dick Grayson, who had long since graduated with Nightwing honours.

Grayson was a more natural fit for the role, donning the classic costume and defeating Killer Croc with the help of Tim Drake's Robin.

The ex-Boy Wonder proved himself worthy of the mantle and remains a fan favourite as far as alternative Batmen go, but everyone was relived to see Bruce return to the cape and cowl.
