Dick Grayson as Batman
(2009-2010)
Following Bruce's seeming death in Final Crisis, Dick Grayson reluctantly took up the mantle, despite instructions Bruce left for him not to do so.
Batman's ''last'' Cape & cowl
The cape and cowl of the suit last worn by Batman (Bruce Wayne) before he 'died' during Final Crisis are prominently displayed in the proceedings after Final Crisis.
Bruce Wayne's last suit actually refers to two suits; one worn by Bruce as he was thrown through time by Darkseid's Omega Sanction and one worn by the corpse of a Bruce Wayne clone that Darkseid had the Earth's population believe was Bruce.

Grayson made some modifications to the Batsuit to better suit his combat style.
Having always hated capes, the first thing he disposed of when creating his Nightwing identity, he has substantially reduced its weight, presumably sacrificing the semi-established bullet- and fire-proof nature. A further modification was made, making it what Grayson calls a "paracape" acting like a parachute and able to slow down a rapid descent. The other noticeable change is made to the utility belt, which now sports a bat-shaped belt buckle and has mechanical compartments, as opposed to the fabric pouches Bruce had last been seen using.
Also, the gloves which Bruce used during his tenure have been replaced by gauntlet-type wrist attachments, their coloring making them appear similar to the original Batman's glove color scheme. These attachments feature two scallops while Bruce's traditionally has three (although that there are some artists draw three scallops).
