DC Announces ‘Batman and Robin: Year One’ Miniseries
Mark Waid & Chris Samnee will be teaming up again for DC Comics! The publisher announced their new project will be Batman and Robin: Year One, a new 12-issue miniseries launching October 16th. Keep scrolling to check out art from the first issue, as well as covers by Mikel Janín, Matteo Scalera, Karl Kerschl, and Lee Weeks.
“While Batman and Robin are the stars of this tale and get most of the panel time, at its heart, this isn’t a Batman/Robin story, it’s a Bruce/Dick story,” said Mark Waid. “It takes place only a month or two after Bruce adopted Dick, and it’s sinking in for Bruce that he has no idea how to be a father to a kid that age. He has no role model—his own father was long dead by the time he was Dick’s age. Nothing he’s ever done has prepared him for this, and Alfred—wise as he is—doesn’t have much experience here either.”
The publisher shared the below synopsis for the new series:
In Batman and Robin: Year One, while Bruce Wayne adjusts to the realities of adopting orphan Dick Grayson, a mysterious new crime boss called the General has come to Gotham to claim the city by disrupting and destroying its other mobs. But what is his connection to Two-Face? Batman and his new sidekick, Robin, are out for answers, but it’ll take everything they have to navigate both sides of their relationship as father and son and dynamic duo, with Dick Grayson’s present and future hanging in the balance!
