In 2022, one of comics’ greatest storytellers presented a heartfelt, beautiful and epic retelling of the early days of the Dynamic Duo, delving into the history of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson. On June 11, the Eisner award-winning team (Descender) of Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen reunite to tell the story of Batman’s most tortured and complex Robin, as DC has today announced plans to publish Robin & Batman: Jason Todd, a three-issue DC limited series, available at participating comic book shops and digital retailers.
Batman has a new Robin, Jason Todd. Jason is a rash, impulsive and reckless kid with a troubled past, who Batman was certain could be molded into Gotham’s next protector. But can the Dark Knight save Jason Todd from the darkness within himself? And when a mysterious new villain, shrouded in white cloth and mystery, sets his sights on Jason, Batman realizes that even he has what it takes to train the anger and torment out of his new young ward.
The debut issue features a main cover by series artist Dustin Nguyen, with variant covers by Nguyen and series writer Jeff Lemire, Rafael Albuquerque and John McCrea. Take a look at the cover designs in the gallery below:
Robin & Batman: Jason Todd #1 will be available for preorder at participating comic book shops and digital retailers March 21, and debuts Wednesday, June 11.
