Batman vs. Robin by Mark Waid and Mahmud Asrar

[Hypo]

Batman vs. Robin comic coming this

According to Waid, the series spins out of events in the first arc of his current Batman/Superman: World’s Finest series with artist Dan Mora, which sees the Dark Knight and a number of other heroes – including, of course, Superman and the original Robin – face off against the historical threat of the Devil Nezha himself.

The new mini will run five oversized issues starting in September and see Damian and his father have to come to terms with something outside their regular day-to-day crimefighting.

"What I can say is that the first arc of World's Finest is, was, and always has been, designed deliberately to lead into what is going to be Batman vs. Robin," the writer teases. "What I was trying to do with Batman versus Robin was try to take them into a realm that I'm not used to seeing them in, which is dark magic sorcery, rather than science, rather than logic and detective stuff. We've seen Batman and sort of peripheral magic, but I want to get into the down and dirty of it."

Why am I feeling that it's going to lead to Alfred's resurrection?
Anyway, I'm not a fan of making another Bruce/Damian conflict, but it's Waid, so, it's must read for me. And it's nice to see, that Flatline is going to be here as well.

That seems like the most obvious place for this story to go right? Especially with this being a event series with oversized issues, I feel like Waid could have just took over the Robin book if this was just a small story. But with it apparently being in the works since before he started worlds finest, gotta imagine this story will have big implications. I’m really excited!

With Tim playing partner in Zdarsky's run, Dick getting some real prominence as Robin in Waid's own Batman And Superman, and between this and Shadow War DC still making an effort to tell stories with Damian working with Bruce - the role of Robin as Batman's partner is getting more love than it has for years, and I'm all for it.

I won't pretend not to be biased, though - if we're doing a Batman And Robin story spinning about of that Batman and Superman arc, there better be some prominent Nightwing!

Really we're just missing some healthy, good, Bruce and Jason content.

We’re already past that damain decided against it

I'm immediately reminded of the animated movie.

I'm kind of surprised Waid is writing a "current" story (even if it's building from his Batman/Superman run) and that he seems to be continuing from both that and Williamson' story from Shadow War and Robin.

I guess with Tim as Zdarsky's Robin, things between Bruce and Damian are still going to be tense.

Also, is that Zatanna next to Flatline?
