Batman White Knight Presents Red Hood #1 Reveals New Robin (Spoilers)

Back in February, Screen Rant reported that the tentatively titled Batman: White Knight: Red Hood set in Sean Murphy's Murphyverse would see Red Hood as he trains his protégé and that the series will spin out of the current Batman: Beyond the White Knight, which also introduces Terry McGinnis and Neo-Gotham to the White Knight universe. And that Sean Murphy would co-write the series with Clay McCormack and drawn by Simone Di Meo.

Well, it seems that this week's Batman: Beyond The White Knight will confirm it, as well as give a first appearance for his new protege. As seen in comic books sold earlier in certain unnamed American comic book stores…

With the new title Batman: White Knight Presents: Red Hood #1. And that comes from editor Brittany Holzherr. Talking to Screen Rant, Murphy said that "one of the goals of the new book is to "humanize" Red Hood; he will take on a daughter-figure and as he trains her, he comes to new realizations about his relationship with Batman, ultimately empathizing with his former mentor." Well, this looks like our first glimpse at her. Batman Beyond The White Knight #1 by Sean Murphy is published on Tuesday.
