Article Summary

• Batman & Robin: Year One Noir Edition #1 releases in black and white on November 20, alongside issue #2.
• DC Comics reunites Mark Waid and Chris Samnee for a compelling superhero tale, blending crime and family dynamics.

Batman & Robin: Year One #1 by the classic superhero team of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee, on sale on the 16th of October, has gone down rather well. And now, as a result, DC Comics is scheduling… not a reprint, but a variant of the comic as a whole. Stripping the colour and telling the first issue in black and white. Charging the same price, of course. And dubbing it the Batman & Robin: Year One Noir Edition #1. It has been added to DC Comics' Final Order Cutoff on the 29th of October, and will arrive in comic book stores for sale on the 20th of November, the same day as the full-color Batman & Robin: Year One #2.
