Batman and Robin (comic book)Batman and Robin is an Americancomic bookongoing 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 #6. While writing for this title, Morrison simultaneously wrote the miniseries The Return of Bruce Wayne and finished his run on the title with issue #1. Batman Incorporated.[3]Paul Cornell and Scott Mc.

Style and tone[edit]In an interview with IGN before the release of the first issue, Morrison detailed that the tone of the series would be a "reverse" of the normal dynamic between Batman and Robin, with, "a more light- hearted and spontaneous Batman and a scowling, bad ass Robin." Morrison also divulged that this is a continuation of his previous work on the Batman character, although this is a different title than what he wrote previously. Killer Croc, also known as Waylon Jones, is a high profile criminal and one of Batman's most. Batman is a superhero co-created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger and published by DC.![]() This is the next book in what will be a 5- volume series beginning [with] Batman and Son, but it can be read on its own too. Batman and Robin welcomes new readers!" Morrison also said that even though the series deals with familiar identities, the series features all new villains and situations, but also revealed that some villains were glimpsed in Batman #6. When asked if the series would deal with the new Batman being unable to fill Bruce Wayne's proverbial shoes, Morrison answered, "When I started out I had that in mind, and I thought we'd finally prove that nobody else could be Batman. But I do believe certain aspects of RIP were about how nobody but this guy could be Batman. I think with this, it's fun to start by seeing what happens when someone else tries. Sometimes it goes wrong, and sometimes it goes really well. Some of the things these guys do are things that Bruce Wayne would never have thought to do."[5][6] In regards to using Frank Quitely as the opening artist, Morrison described the difference between this particular collaboration with previous ones, specifically on JLA Earth- 2 and All- Star Superman. For instance, Morrison asked Quitely to choreograph the flow of the action in his own way, rather than through Morrison's normally heavily detailed scripts.[5]In regards to the style, Morrison said, "I've asked [Quitely] to re- introduce the much- maligned sound effects to superhero comics, but in a way that integrates them more closely with the art."[5] He also described Batman and Robin as, "a shorter, pacier collaboration so we've tried to keep it looser and more open than All- Star Superman.[5]Morrison confirmed that following Quitely's run on the first three issues, Philip Tan would be the artist for the next three issues, an arc entitled "Revenge of the Red Hood,"[7] with Cameron Stewart as the artist for "Blackest Knight," the third arc,[8][9] followed by Andy Clarke drawing the fourth arc titled "Batman vs. Robin" and Quitely coming back to the book sometime after.[1. Frazer Irving took over for the fifth arc "Batman Must Die" starting in issue #1. In an interview with USA Today, Morrison outlined the future of the titles, saying "I'm doing at least another year of stories with Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne in the Batman and Robin book before that book starts to dovetail with Return and we rush headlong and screaming into the next big, earth- shattering, game- changing twist in the life of Batman."[1. Batman was nominated for the Emmy Award for outstanding comedy series in its first year, losing out to CBS' The Dick Van Dyke Show. A 20th Century Fox movie was. It was announced Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason would take over the title after Grant Morrison,[1. Morrison will go onto a different title.[1. Dick Grayson will continue his role as Batman concurrently with Bruce Wayne, and remain the star of Batman and Robin.[1. Continuity with R. I. P., Bruce Wayne[edit]With this title being Morrison's primary work in the Batman world for nearly two years, the writer has stated that this is a direct continuation of his Batman work: "With the collections out, we’ve got "Batman and Son",' we’ve got The Black Glove, we’ve got "Batman R. I. P.", and then we’ve got this one, Batman and Robin, and then, hopefully, there will be a final volume, a fifth volume."[1. In regards to the fate of Bruce Wayne, Morrison stated that he would be dealing with that in the future. Bruce is still out there. Final Crisis revealed Bruce is still out there and he’s got to make his way back in some way."[1. Morrison also made the case for fans that disapprove of having a Batman that is not Bruce Wayne. We’re not really entertaining the notion that Bruce won’t be back at some time. This isn’t like Captain America with the Winter Soldier story and Cap’s really gone. This is an ongoing story, another chapter in the life of Batman, so I think even people who are fans of Bruce and who think no one else can be Batman will be entertained by this. And be intrigued to see who it is."[1. Morrison eventually brought Wayne back in a mini- series in which the title promised the character's return,[1.
