Batman and Robin #1

Batman and Robin make a striking pair on this Dutch collected edition from RW Uitgeverij, with a brooding, cape-swept Batman looming in the foreground and a fiercely determined Robin — wings spread, sai drawn — leaping into action behind him against a smoldering crimson sky. Patrick Gleason's cover pencils and Mick Gray's inks give both figures a dynamic, kinetic energy that perfectly captures the tension between the Dark Knight's grim resolve and his young partner's aggressive spirit. Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason bring their talents together in "Geboren Moordenaar" (Born to Kill), promising a compelling look at the complicated bond between Batman and Robin.
