Batman’s legacy becomes Nightwing’s nightmare.
It's no secret that Batman has a high opinion of himself and believes there's no one better suited to solve Gotham's crime problems. In a cruel twist of fate, Batman's former partner Dick Grayson suffers from Batman's arrogant plan to save himself in the Batman Beyond universe.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Batman's particular brand of superhero vigilantism continuously activates his narcissism and belief that he needs to develop a plan where he alone remains the "Caped Crusader" in perpetuity. This leads to the idea, as depicted in 2011's Detective Comics #27 by Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy, of the Batman "Rule of Two.
Nightwing Becomes a Victim of Amanda Waller — and Batman's Mistakes In the Batman Beyond universe, however, the cloning plan is carried out to its logical end — with major consequences for Dick Grayson.
The problem with cloning programs is that, without proper training and indoctrination, the clones are always susceptible to developing freewill and choosing their own paths. In the case of Waller's Nightwing clone army, one clone escapes and uses his retained knowledge of Batman and Nightwing to wreak mass havoc across Neo-Gotham — as the new Hush. It's interesting to see how the issue of Batman's legacy is developed and contemplated across all three titles.
Conversely, in the alternate Batman Beyond timeline, Wayne's clone program idea is co-opted and actualized by Waller. The only difference is that Batman is swapped out for an unknowing Dick Grayson — who, after being injured, quit the "superhero business" altogether, but now must suffer the nightmare of his own legacy being corruped for nefarious ends.
