Batman and Robin is an American comic book ongoing series, created by Grant Morrison and featuring Batman and Robin. The debut of the series followed the events of "Batman R.I.P.", Final Crisis, and "Battle for the Cowl" in which the original Batman, Bruce Wayne, apparently died at the hands of DC Comics villain Darkseid and features the winner of the "Battle for the Cowl" as the new Batman.[1] The conclusion of Battle for the Cowl shows Dick Grayson ascending to the role of Batman, while Damian Wayne becomes the new Robin.[2]
Morrison returned to writing the characters after being the ongoing writer on Batman from issues #655–658 and #663–683. While writing for this title, Morrison simultaneously wrote the miniseries The Return of Bruce Wayne and finished their run on the title with issue #16, before moving onto the next phase of their narrative in Batman Incorporated.[3] Paul Cornell and Scott McDaniel created a three-issue arc before the new ongoing creative team, the former Green Lantern Corps duo of writer Peter Tomasi and artist Patrick Gleason, began their run with February 2011's issue #20.[4]
Tomasi and Gleason launched a second volume of the series in conjunction with The New 52, a DC Universe line-wide relaunch in 2011 featuring Bruce Wayne as Batman and Damian Wayne as Robin. That series concluded after 40 issues and a series of other one-shots, as well as an annual. A third volume was launched in 2023 with Bruce and Damian Wayne as the lead characters in conjunction with the Dawn of DC initiative by writer Joshua Williamson and artist Simone Di Meo.
