He trains a young man to become the new Batman and through him we get to continue the adventures of Batman, even though it&#8217;s not Bruce Wayne at the forefront.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s already been publicly stated that there will be a young soldier who is inspired by MC. That soldier is on the Infinity and eventually becomes a leader. I suspect that this solider will be MC&#8217;s successor.
