Batman vs. Robin

In 2023, DC Comics pitted father against son in Batman vs. Robin, a taut five-issue miniseries from writer Mark Waid and artist Mahmud Asrar. The story explores the fractured relationship between Bruce Wayne and his son Damian, as the current Robin is tempted by the demonic forces of the Lazarus Tournament. This series serves as a direct follow-up to the events of Batman vs. Robin (2022) and the Lazarus Planet event, deepening the magical and familial tensions at the heart of the Bat-Family. It matters for its focused, high-stakes character drama and its role in shaping Damian Wayne's path forward in the DC Universe.
