ALL STAR BATMAN & ROBIN to Return as DARK KNIGHT: BOY WONDER

So THAT's why he was the "G*d Damned Batman."

At the DC Nation Panel today at WonderCon in San Francisco, Frank Miller and Jim Lee's All-Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder was officially announced as over. However, a couple of twists were added on as well.

First, it was announced that ASBAR is actually part of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns universe. The harder Batman, the DCU in fast decay, it matches up quite well. In light of that news, Miller and Lee's next project together was announced: Dark Knight: Boy Wonder.

Dark Knight: Boy Wonder will fall in that same universe, and will be written by Miller and drawn by Lee. It will be a six-issue series, and will not start until February, 2011. On DCU Blog The Source, Lee said, "The February, 2011 start date was [chosen] to ensure that Dark Knight: Boy Wonder would ship regularly and on time." Little else was said about the series, but promises of more information in the intervening months were made.
