Robin is Back in 'Robin Rises'!

Damien Wayne is gone. Batman has no Robin. DC obviously doesn’t think that should stand, and is officially bringing the Boy Wonder back with Robin Rises! Next week kicks off the new arc with Robin Rises: Omega #1 and concludes in December with Robin Rises: Alpha #2. Writer Peter Tomasi recently spilled about what to expect:

"The way I thought was best to achieve this, was to have the opening pages of Robin Rises: Omega give us a quick recap without getting too bogged down in minutiae and really drive home what’s at stake emotionally and physically for Batman as we spent the next five months on the insane mission of restoring the Dynamic Duo, with the awesome visuals of Andy Kubert and Patrick Gleason. So new readers and even our regular readers can be up to speed and still be plugged into the interpersonal relationships between all the characters of our story.Here’s the quick issue checklist: Robin Rises: Omega #1 by Andy Kubert andBatman and Robin #33 in July, followed by Batman and Robin #34 thru #37 in August through December all by Patrick Gleason, then followed by the conclusion in Robin Rises: Alpha #2, again by Andy Kubert. The DCU-wide September Futures End issue does not play into our story."

It was only a matter of time before Batman had a young ward by his side. He hasn’t been without a Robin in some form since the early 1940’s and the sidekick has been an integral part of the Caped Crusader’s genesis.
