DC is running a Round Robin Contest for a new 6 issue miniseries, with voting done on Twitter, Instagram, and DC Universe Infinite. One of the series is called "Robins", written by Tim Seeley, art by Baldemar Rivas. The promotional image features Dick, Jason, Tim, Damian, and Steph! The pitch reads: "In the Blüdhaven apartment of Dick Grayson, a group of young people meets for coffee, doughnuts, and kvetching (between long, awkward silences.) The only thing they have in common? All were once Kid Wonders. Sidekicks to Batman. Robins. They're being hunted by one claiming to be the first sidekick to Batman." This series likely plays with the same dynamics as Seeley's earlier comic featuring this team of five Robins, Batman: Gotham Nights #12: Five Little Robins.
UPDATE MAY 5, 2021 - the preview page #1 by Seeley and Rivas has been released for the third round of voting!
Update August 2021 - Robins has been announced as winner of the contest, starting release in October!
