Batman's son Robin must prove to his father-as well as his previous mantle-holders-that he's worthy of being the newest Boy Wonder. Damian Wayne, a.k.a.

Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason's #1 New York Times bestseller BATMAN & ROBIN is now collected together, as the critically acclaimed series is repackaged here in a hardcover omnibus edition. Damian Wayne, the secret child of Bruce Wayne and his sworn enemy, Talia al Ghul, was trained from birth to kill and raised to rule the world. At the age of ten, Damian turned his back on his mother's megalomaniacal ambitions and joined his father's crusade against crime. Since then, the precocious new Robin has chafed under the unfamiliar restraints imposed by Batman's strict moral code--and struggled to accept the unique comforts of his strange new family. He also faces deadly challenges at every turn--from the league of assassins led by his immortal grandfather to the unstoppable insanity of the Joker, from the universe's most dangerous New God to his three suspicious predecessors, Damian must be prepared to battle them all. Good and evil. Triumph and tragedy. Death and rebirth. This is Batman and Robin as you've never seen them before. Collects BATMAN AND ROBIN #20-22, BATMAN AND ROBIN #0-40, BATMAN AND ROBIN #23, BATMAN AND ROBIN ANNUAL #1-3, ROBIN RISES: OMEGA #1, ROBIN RISES: ALPHA #1, SECRET ORIGINS #4 and DETECTIVE COMICS #27.

Then, Grant Morrison connects BATMAN & ROBIN with the best-selling THE RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE for the climactic showdown between Batman and The Black Glove. And in an epic tale illustrated by acclaimed artist David Finch, learn what happens to Dick Grayson after the "real" Batman returns.
