DC has announced Batman & Robin: Year One – Dynamic Duos, a new 12-issue monthly series from Mark Waid and Chris Samnee, set to launch August 12, 2026. The series continues the story of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson following their earlier Year One run, digging deeper into the early days of the Dynamic Duo.
Batman and Robin are already established as a crime-fighting team in Gotham, but new trouble is brewing. A group of street kids begins causing chaos across the city, forcing the duo to investigate who is behind it and what is driving them. The mystery points to a larger force pulling the strings, setting up a new challenge for both heroes.
Batman & Robin: Year One was one of the better comics in recent memory, and the combination of Waid and Samnee was pitch perfect for the retro-vibe of the series.
Whenever the two work together, it always results in great comics (see their amazing run on Daredevil), so I’m delighted to see the combo again, especially in a continuity-light series. I mean, how can you not look at that cover art and smile, and say “That’s COMICS™.”?
If you haven’t read the first series, I very much recommend the collected edition, available here. For the rest of us, let’s look forward to August!
