Pretty your poetry. Robin's head looks like he contracted an adolescent form of hydrocephalus.

Then it's just not me. Something is totally wrong with Robin's head, though why I find it "aZn" I don't know. 
However, more or less, those kind of heads are only found on animated pictures of comedic entertainment, namely cartoons, where such cranium shapes are approved. In comics, they aren't. Unless you expect us to laugh at Robin.

Grant Morrison Discusses Batman & Robin
DC's blockbuster writer reveals first details about the flagship Dark Knight series starring a new Batman and a new Robin.
by Richard George
IGN Comics: The most obvious question is perhaps the most routine – what can you tell us about your plans for the new Batman & Robin series? How would you describe the tone and feel of the book compared to your previous Batman arcs like "Batman & Son" or "R.I.P"?
Grant Morrison: 'Batman and Robin', which opens with the 3-part 'Batman Reborn' arc, is maybe more poppy, and more colourful, but it's also creepier. It's like David Lynch doing the Batman TV show. The story arcs are 4 short 3-part 'events', which combine to tell a longer, 12 part mystery.
IGN Comics: With the June relaunch of the Batman franchise comes a new Batman and a new Robin. DC will kill us for revealing their identities, but can you describe, as much as you can, the new relationship/chemistry between this Batman and Robin and how it would relate to previous Dynamic Duos?
Morrison: It's much more…contentious. This is a very different Batman and Robin team from any that we've seen before. It's almost a reverse of the traditional dynamic, with a more light-hearted and spontaneous Batman and a scowling, badass Robin. Expect fireworks and violence.
IGN Comics: We've chatted at length with you in the past about your plans for Batman and how you view your work on the series as a long novel. Despite this being a new series, do you view this as a direct continuation of the previous work or would you consider this the beginning of a new novel?
Morrison: This is the next book in what will be a 5-volume series beginning 'Batman & Son' but it can be read on its own too. 'Batman and Robin' welcomes new readers!
IGN Comics: Do you consider Batman & Robin, despite featuring new people under the mask, yet another lens on the life of Bruce Wayne?
Morrison: No, this isn't about Bruce Wayne at all, except in as much as it deals with his absence.
IGN Comics: One of the things your Batman work has done this far is really dig into the past of the franchise, resurrecting old concepts and breathing new life into them. Will you still be doing that now that Bruce is no longer wearing the mask?
Morrison: 'Batman and Robin' mostly features all new characters, villains and situation – although some were previously glimpsed in Batman #666 - but it builds on everything that's gone before.
IGN Comics: You've also mentioned to us that Bruce and Batman are inseparable – will a large part of Batman & Robin deal with the fact that this new hero can't actually be Batman?
Morrison: Absolutely. That's part of the fun of this particular iteration of the character. No one can live up to Bruce Wayne's standards.
IGN Comics: Because of his major role in R.I.P. we have to ask – will the Joker play into your plans for the series?
Morrison: Frank Quitely's coming back to the book to wrap up our year-long storyline and I think we'd all love to see his take on the Joker, so yeah, I'd like to think I can make that happen in some way.
IGN Comics: Frank Quitely has worked with you numerous times, and we believe this would be his first Batman related work with you since JLA Earth 2. What is it about Frank's art that makes him the ideal creative partner for so many of your projects? What does he bring specifically to Batman & Robin?
Morrison: We're friends and he instinctively understands what I'm looking for. In terms of 'Batman and Robin', I'm sure readers are familiar with Frank's previous Batman work on Batman and know that he was made for this character.
Specifically for the project, I've asked Frank to choreograph the flow of the action in his own way, rather than dictate detailed panel compositions like usually do, and I've asked him to re-introduce the much-maligned sound effects to superhero comics but in a way that integrates them more closely with the art. 'Batman and Robin' is a shorter, pacier collaboration so we've tried to keep it looser and more open than 'All Star Superman'. |

There would be nothing scarier than the Joker drawn by Quitely.

I like it. I mean. The drection that this is taking... It does look to have more camp. I'm looking at this through ASS goggles. All-Star Superman, that is. It's called Batman & Robin for a reason, and I'm looking forward to the new dynamic of the duo.
Ho ho ho I am so witty.
PS. It's totally Damien. Why do you think they've given him that upside-down mask for his entire existence?
IT'S TO THROW US OFF, DAMMIT

I see Robin traded his green pixie boots for doc martens.
Good choice, steel toed caps for when he needs to kick the your poetry out of hardened Gotham criminals.
I agree with Lucas. I think it's Damien on account of the boots and the liberty spikes hair-do, that little punk.

Of course it's Damien. There are no other 12-year-olds in the Bat family and that Robin fits that build. Tim's too big and old.

I miss dourface-no-smile Bruce already.

Grayson doesn't have the cojones to train his pecs to deflect bullets.

After three issues of Dickbats and Robian, Quitely will bow out for Philip Tan.

bought the first issue
this definitely has potential
quitely's art is perfect for the mood of the book
and we've got ourselves a new villain that's almost on the level of the clown prince of crime himself in terms of creepiness
will follow

Really good issue. Also re-read it a couple of times.
I only noticed that Dick doesn't look very fit, physically, with his bat-costume compare to his Nightwing one. Looks like a sweatshirt for me.  |

it's quitely art
i'm actually cool with it with how he doesn't make the costumes absolutely skin-tight, showing off all the ripped muscles, like most other superhero comics artists
doesn't make sense for most clothing and especially when it comes to characters like batman who actually wear armor underneath the costume

Quitely art is quite fine - if you're not counting lips. This guy's worse than Adam Warren.
"quite"HAHAHA

Strong first issue. Liked how Quitely played around with the onomatopoeia.
