📘 Series Summary

In the wake of Final Crisis and the apparent death of Bruce Wayne, the mantle of the Bat passes to his first ward, Dick Grayson. This legendary series, launched by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, introduces a revolutionary new Dynamic Duo: a lighter, more acrobatic Batman paired with a dark, brooding, and lethal Robin—Damian Wayne. This "Batman Reborn" era flipped the classic character archetypes on their head, providing a fresh and kinetic perspective on the legends of Gotham.

Grayson and Damian face a new wave of nightmarish villains, most notably the grotesque Professor Pyg and the vengeful Scarlet. The narrative serves as the spine of Morrison's wider Bat-epic, leading through the mystery of the "Domino Killer" and the return of the Black Glove, eventually culminating in the 16-part Return of Bruce Wayne saga. Following Morrison's departure at issue #16, the series continued with top-tier talent like Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason, who laid the groundwork for their definitive New 52 run by focusing on the deepening father-son bond between the Waynes.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • Features the first appearance of Professor Pyg (#1), one of the most terrifying additions to the modern rogues gallery.
  • Defined by Frank Quitely's masterful, high-detail artwork in the opening arc, creating a "pop-art" Gotham aesthetic.
  • The definitive era of Dick Grayson as Batman, widely considered one of the character's best narrative cycles.
  • Includes the "Batman Must Die!" arc (#13–15), featuring the return of The Joker and the sinister Dr. Hurt.
  • Introduces The Absence and The White Knight, expanding the mythology with complex new antagonists.
  • Serves as the narrative bridge between the Batman R.I.P. event and the launch of Batman Incorporated.
