This September, Tim Drake's story will continue in his own series, Tim Drake: Robin. Spinning out of the events of Batman Urban Legends and the recently released Tim Drake Pride Special, writer Meghan Fitzmartin looks set to tell the next chapter of Tim's story alongside fan-favourite artist Riley Rossmo (Harley Quinn).
The kinetic, high-energy series promises to put this Robin centre stage as a mystery over a year in the making takes shape. A new villain who's been hounding Tim from afar decides to take things up close and personal, putting Bernard and everyone else Tim cares about in peril.
All that, and Tim finally carves out a corner of Gotham City just for himself, and sets up shop in his very own...murder-shack-boat?
DC Comics has also assembled a Rogues' Gallery of artists to capture all of Tim's iconic looks over the years, with a One Year Later Era variant by Jorge Jimenez, a 1:25 Debut Era variant by Sweeney Boo, a 1:50 Young Justice Era variant by Dan Mora, and a 1:100 Teen Titans Era variant by Jamal Campbell, with the main cover by Ricardo López Ortiz. You can see those below.
It's great to see Tim Drake take centre stage like this, especially after the hero recently came out as bisexual. That was considered a huge moment in the character's history, and is a creative decision that's been embraced by comic book fans. Don't fret about the DC Universe's other Robin, though, as Damian Wayne's story will continue in the pages of Batman Vs. Robin.
Tim Drake: Robin #1 arrives in comic book stores on September 27.
