Batman and Robin #4

Part of DC's New 52 relaunch, Batman and Robin #4 arrives in February 2012 with a striking cover by Patrick Gleason and Mick Gray that puts Damian Wayne front and center — Robin's cowl pulled back to reveal a snarling, defiant face as a massive swarm of bats fills a blood-red sky behind him. The city of Gotham stretches out below in cool blues, while Batman's silhouette anchors the bottom of the image, framing the generational tension this series thrives on. Peter J. Tomasi, Gleason, and Gray are delivering one of the New 52's most visually charged father-and-son dynamics, and "Matter of Trust" looks to push it further.
