What will happen to Nightwing in April?

The following post contains spoilers.

Nightwing #30

The DC Comics April Solicitations are up and the fate of Nightwing is still a mystery. The only clear information is that the 30th issue is the final of the series and deals with the aftermath of the Forever Evil event. In Forever Evil #1, Nightwing was capture by the Crime Syndicate and had his secret identity exposed.

The cover for issue 30 suggest that Nightwing dies, but with recent apearance in the Young Justice cartoon, the popular Injustice game and rumor about the character poping in the Man of Steel sequel and the TV show Arrow, does DC really wants to kill the character now? I don't think so.

Killing the character does not make sense but leaving him as it is makes even less. If he is rescued, he can't keep on being Dick Grayson, it would endanger the secrets of the whole Bat-Family. He has to become someone else.

In November, DC released the famous "Batsgiving" teaser, a spread page featuring various members of the Bat-Family. Nightwing did not appeared in the image, but a mysterious blonde man weraing a mask resembling Grayson's was sitting besides Red Robin. This doesn't look like a coloring mistake but a clue. Dick dyes his hair and assumes a new blonde identity, maybe John Blake.

 John Blake was the idealistic cop introduced in the movie The Dark Knight Rises. He filled the role of apprentice and successor to Bruce Wayne, similar to Grayson in the comics. John Blakes is an alias even in the movie, the character's real name was Robin.

DC (and Marvel) love to introduce characters from other media into their comic books (like Harley Quinn, X-23 and Agent Coulson). If they want to introduce John Blake into comics, this is the best opportunity. But we all know that nothing in comics is permanent and in a couple of years a black haired Dick Grayson will dash over the rooftops as Nightwing again.
