Batman and Robin writer Peter J. Tomasi is taking on DC’s ultimate power couple next. Tomasi and artist Doug Mahnke will be the new creative team on Superman/Wonder Woman starting with issue 13 in November.
“I want to stare hard into the heart of both of these characters and their true love and see what that love means to us, the DC Universe and the people of Earth,” Tomasi tells USA Today. “Does it pose a danger or a threat? If two people like that are together and in love, where is the drama in that, and what repercussions does it have?”
Tomasi also says he’ll reintroduce Atomic Skull and Major Disaster but calls these classic villains the “shock troops” in a bigger storyline with a bigger threat for the super couple.
Bruce Wayne is searching for the stolen body of his son but will he try to resurrect Damian?
Tomasi continues Robin Rises and the story revealed the cover to Batman and Robin #36 featuring Red Robin, Red Hood and Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) in a new costume paying homage to the late Damian Wayne.
The next chapter of Robin Rises hits next Wednesday with Batman vs. Lex Luthor.
