Just saw this myself. If true, I think it's ridiculous for DC to do. They've already played this card, albeit they didn't kill Batman, just broke his back, but I digress.

However, if this happens, I really, REALLY hope they don't replace him with Robin. Tim is good, but he's NOT ready to take over the mantle of Batman. I think everyone would want to see Dick as Batman, but I'd rather he not do it. Dick has always said that he never wants to replace Batman. He wants to be his own man.
The one who would make this scenario VERY intriquing would be Todd. I think Todd out of all of them, would make the most sense and interesting.
