DC's famous Year One strand returns in October with a brand new series focused on the dynamic duo. Batman and Robin: Year One is a 12-issue limited series from the superstar team of writer Mark Waid, Fire Power artist Chris Samnee (who also co-plotted the new series), and colorist Matheus Lopes that flashes back to the first 12 months of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson's partnership.
"While Batman and Robin are the stars of this tale and get most of the panel time, at its heart, this isn't a Batman/Robin story, it's a Bruce/Dick story," said Mark Waid in a statement from DC. "It takes place only a month or two after Bruce adopted Dick, and it's sinking in for Bruce that he has no idea how to be a father to a kid that age. He has no role model – his own father was long dead by the time he was Dick's age. Nothing he's ever done has prepared him for this, and Alfred – wise as he is – doesn't have much experience here either."
