January’s Detective Comics #27 was already slated to be a landmark issue in the history of Batman, but it’s about to get even bigger. Today, artist Sean Murphy tweeted a first look at an all-new black Robin that will be appearing in his short story with writer Scott Snyder. Snyder and Murphy, the duo known for their work on the Vertigo series The Wake, have teamed up to create what Snyder calls a “sci-fi” Batman tale set in the future, one of the many stories set to appear in the 96 page mega-issue.
Here is Murphy’s tweet revealing the newest sidekick to the Caped Crusader:
