Bruce Wayne isn’t exactly a model father, which explains why he and his son Damian haven’t been on great terms in recent years. But father and son are finally reunited and ready to kick off a new era of crime-fighting in the upcoming Batman and Robin.
The latest volume of Batman and Robin picks up in the aftermath of crossovers like Lazarus Planet and Knight Terrors. Batman and his son have put side their differences, just in time to confront a new wave of terror in Gotham City.

The new series is written by Joshua Williamson (Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, Superman) and drawn by Simone Di Meo (Batman: White Knight Presents – The Red Hood). Here’s DC’s official description for the new series:
Father and son. Bruce and Damian. Batman and Robin. From Batman vs. Robin to Knight Terrors, a lot has happened to the Dynamic Duo, but now they are back together and ready to fight crime in Gotham—just in time for Batman’s most monstrous rogues to team up to turn the city into an urban jungle! A new villain watches from the shadows, intent on revenge, with a plot to turn one of Batman’s greatest assets against him! Can Damian help his father solve the case before it’s too late?
Batman and Robin #1 is priced at $4.99 for the regular version and $5.99 for the cardstock variants. This issue will be released on Tuesday, September 12.
