Robins is officially the winner of DC's Round Robin competition.
The six-issue series starring all of Batman's former protégés is written by Tim Seeley (Grayson, Suicide Squad: King Shark) with artwork by Baldemar Rivas (Unearth). Robins is the first DC series to showcase all of the characters in mainstream continuity who have served as Robin from 1940 to 2021 -- including Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown and Damian Wayne.
The five members of the Bat-Family are ambushed as they meet to discuss the trials and tribulations of sidekick life, and the unknown assailant claims that she was Robin before all of them. The Robins must unite to figure out who she is, as well as what it means to wear the red, yellow and green costume and fight by Batman's side.
The Round Robin competition, which ran from March to May, allowed fans to vote over story concepts that would be turned into miniseries later in the year. Robins beat out 15 other potentials, including the likes of Green Lanterns: Underworld on Fire by Sina Grace and V. Ken Marion, Blue Beetle: Graduation Day by Josh Trujillo and Adrian Gutierrez, and Suicide Squad Seven by Rex Ogle and Diogenes Neves.
Robins #1 will be available to DC Universe Infinite subscribers on Oct. 26. The first issue hits comic shops on Nov. 16.
