At MegaCon 2023, DC announced a new Batman and Robin series launching later this year. The new series, from writer Joshua Williamson and artist Simone Di Meo, will follow the current events and developments of recent series. Plus, Damian Wayne’s Robin is finally getting his own Robin Mobile.
The Adventures of Batman and Robin
Beyond the debut of a Robin Mobile, not much else is known about this upcoming series. We do know that Williamson and Di Meo will follow the recent events of Batman vs. Robin and Lazarus Planet. Only this time around, Bruce Wayne is teaming up with his son to investigate all the craziness that Gotham has to offer.
Batman and Robin recently starred in the five-issue miniseries Batman vs. Robin. The series, from writer Mark Waid and artist Mahmud Asrar, saw several versions of Robin, including Damian Wayne, possessed by the Devil Nezha. While Batman was able to save Damian on Lazarus Island, the battle led to some serious consequences for the caped crusader. The island’s volcano erupted, leading into the Lazarus Planet event.
DC’s Lazarus Planet event featured numerous creators and several one-shots. The event focused on the Lazarus Resin that fell on the planet. This Resin either granted superpowers, took them away, or transformed them completely to whomever it touched. This led to Damian having heat vision for a while and Batman became a vampire. The event ended with the death and resurrection of Batman and saw him teaming up with Damian to patrol Gotham once again.
Robin Mobile, Oh My!
News of this series also came with the news that Robin would be getting some awesome wheels of his own. Damian is getting his own Robin Mobile, designed my Di Meo. Previews of the series, and the Mobile, were shared by CBR and show off the impressive new Robin toy.
The Robin Mobile looks a little more rudimentary than the sleek Batmobile, but still hero-worthy. It will be interesting to see what Damian’s Robin can get up to in this new vehicle.
