You know Carrie Kelley? That scrappy girl who was Batman’s Robin in Frank Miller’s “The Dark Knight Returns?” The one that, heretofore, had never made it into continuity?
Yeah. She’s coming.
In Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason’s “Batman & Robin” #19, she’ll be arriving in some unknown capacity that Tomasi only hints at. He does say she won’t immediately be Robin and that she’ll be there for a hell of a lot longer than one issue, but any more would just be guesswork by me.
That said, bravo to DC. This is genuinely surprising and made me want to say “WTF.” Now imagine if you found this out by opening up a gatefold cover as opposed to reading a news story. Thanks DC!
