Mark Waid and Chris Samnee team for More of Year One of Batman and Robin

Posted on by

DC has announced Batman & Robin: Year One – Dynamic Duos, a new 12-issue monthly comic book series from the award-winning team of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee, launching August 12, 2026. Following their acclaimed Batman & Robin: Year One, Waid and Samnee continue exploring the formative partnership between Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson that was introduced in Year One in a new story that blends heart, humor, and high-stakes capes-and-tights fun while charting new territory for the early Dynamic Duo.

Batman and Robin are back in action! The Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder have been hard at work cleaning up the streets of Gotham City, and their partnership has only gotten tighter. But when a gang of street kids starts causing chaos, Batman and Robin will need to get to the bottom of where these kids came from and who is in charge! Who is the hidden hand guiding these young mischief-makers?

With Waid and Samnee co-writing the series, interior art and the main cover by Samnee, color by Mat Lopes, and lettering by Clayton Cowles, Dynamic Duos continues the creative momentum that made the first 12 issues of Batman & Robin: Year One an instant fan favorite and landed Eisner Award nominations for Samnee, Lopes, and Cowles. The launch issue of Batman & Robin: Year One – Dynamic Duos will also feature variant covers by Marc Silvestri, Dustin Nguyen, and Hayden Sherman, while Greg Capullo provides a Dark Knight Returns 40th anniversary variant cover.

Batman & Robin: Year One – Dynamic Duos #1 arrives in local comic book shops on August 12, 2026, retailing $4.99 US for the main cover and $5.99 US for card stock variant covers, and marks the beginning of the next chapter in Waid and Samnee’s definitive take on the early days of DC’s most iconic crime-fighting duo. The first twelve Batman & Robin: Year One issues are available wherever books are sold in both hardcover ($39.99 US) and softcover ($29.99 US) editions.
