DC ’s January solicit promises thatLegion of Super - Heroes # 3will“plant seeds and ideas that will blast out across the DC Universe for month to come . ”In this former outlet , Damian is seemingly recruited by the Legionnaires to assist them on a mysterious mission to the first piece - made planet — Planet Gotham . Building a whole major planet base off of America ’s most crime septic city was probably a bad idea , and judging by the screening , most of the Legionnaires believe making Damian a penis of the team was a bad idea . The only fellow member who seems remotely happy about Robin being recruited is his sidekick Superboy , while the rest seem to be in a premix of jar , irritation , or mild displeasure . It ’s hard to blame them , reckon Damian was train by assassin and in writing violence tends to conform to him around like a lost puppy .
You recognize there was no way Jon Kent was going to leave his best friend behind ! Welcome to the future , Damian Wayne ! ( This is such a terrible thought ! ) Also , meet the raw Legionnaires as they point to a hole-and-corner undercover mission on the first man - made planet : Planet Gotham . Every page of this new DC epic plants seeds and approximation that will shoot out across the DC Universe for months to follow ! All this , and Monster Boy is on the loose !
This would n’t be the first time Batman and Superman ’s boys have teamed up . The World ’s Finest offspring have appeared in many books together including the late subject ofSuperman # 16 , where Jonathan Kent come back from his journey in space — but 5 years older . The two clearly had a bunch of catching up to do since they last star in their own team up bookSuper Sons . Arguably , Robin and Superboy make for practiced “ frenemies ” than their super - dad .
While it is n’t often that members of the Bat - kinsperson venture off into space , Damian Wayne is in good hands withseasoned comical Holy Scripture author Brian Michael Bendisbehind the wheel . Bendis has made a career out of writing compelling team Book such asAll NewX - MenandNew Avengers . His ability to perfectly juggle multiple characters and plots at the same time is a rare gift in the risible record industry . And with such a huge cast of colourful character , Batman’sson Damian will match in with the Legion of Super - Heroes just fine .
