Mark Waid pits Batman versus Robin in September
The series spins out of the events of Waid's Batman/Superman: World’s Finest and the current 'Shadow War' Batman-Robin-Deathstroke, Inc. crossover by writer Joshua Williamson.
"Deep in the heart of Lazarus Island, the demonic legacy of the al Ghul family line has at last been freed, and the Devil Nezha is out for blood," reads DC's description of Batman vs. Robin.
In a bid to reclaim total domination over Earth, Nezha 'supercharges' magic and anyone who uses it gets overtaken by a demonic evil that "super-charges" their magical abilities to dangerous, unpredictable, and even deadly levels.
Damian falls into Nezha's clutches and Bruce is haunted by the return of an old friend while the father and son are pitted against one another.

Mark Waid and Mahmud Asrar? DC might be flooding the market with Batman but the creators they hire to work on the Batbooks are more often than not really top notch.
I am really looking forward to this.
Does this mean Damian's solo book is no more?

The eyebrows on the Steve Beach cover though. Wild.
