Batman and Robin. They go together like *insert favorite combination here*. They are the original dynamic duo, even though the role of Robin (and on occasion Batman) has been played by many. The most recent Robin of course was Damian Wayne, son of the Batman! Damian was a fan favorite for the most part as he met his cloned maker back in 2013 with Batman Inc #8. The folks over at Hero Complex have reported that this coming July, a one-shot called "Robin Rises: Omega" will be hitting the shelves and bringing Robin back into the mix of things. Peter J Tomasi and Andy Kubert will be bringing Batman's sidekick back to us. Which Robin? That is the question that is being left unanswered for now.
If you have been reading the "Batman And Robin" series as of late, you will know that Batman has been on "The Hunt For Robin" chasing after Ra's al Ghul, who has confiscated Damian's corpse. While this, coupled with Kuberts recent "Damian: Son Of Batman" mini-series that showed Damian in a possible future where he takes on the mantle of Batman. These would make it safe to assume the Robin returning will be Damian. However, don't forget that after Damian's demise, former "R" bearer Carrie Kelley made her New 52 debut, even dawning a Robin costume for a party. She is a possible choice as well. Oh, and of course there is the fact Peter J Tomasi, said, "Let’s just say that we are most definitely bringing back a Robin for Batman’s 75th anniversary," and also added, "everything that occurs in this epic story all has seeds that Pat Gleason
and I planted back during our first arc in “Batman and Robin: Born To
Kill."
That was not only a good way to hype the upcoming book, but also intrigues us to go back and look for the planted seeds. Will it be Damian, just with everything that Bruce had taught him lost? Is it going to be Carrie Kelley taking on a full-time role in the New 52? Or did we miss something? Perhaps a seed so small we overlooked and there will be a new Robin? Guess we will have to wait and see. Anything is possible, just take a look at what is happening with the original Robin HERE (Warning! Spoiler Alert!). It is almost safe to assume that regardless of who the returning Robin will be, with this creative team, it will be one heck of a story. Also helps that Tomasi also said this about it, "There’s no gimmicks. We’re telling a character-centric action-adventure story that new readers can easily jump on board due to the way we constructed the opening pages of "Robin Rises: Omega"." And for those against the return of Damian, your points will likely be valid, however remember these things; Damian's death was planned before the relaunch, and although his last name is Wayne, he is still an al Ghul. Making him a slight exception to the preferred rule of not bring back the dead in comic books.
