DC Cancels Heterosexual Robin (And His Dad) Comic After Only 30 Issues

DC Cancels Heterosexual Robin (And His Dad) Comic After Only 30 Issues As Sales Fall Flat

Published Mon, 22 Dec 2025 10:57:04 -0600

Article Summary

DC Comics cancels Batman And Robin with issue #30, ending Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s run in February 2026.
No Batman And Robin #31 appears in the March 2026 DC Comics solicits, confirming the series' conclusion.
Damian Wayne is missing from the March 2026 DC solicitations, raising questions about his future in Gotham.
The final issues pit Batman and Robin against Scarface, Two-Face, Penguin, and a mysterious Quiet Man.

They've done it again. It looks like DC Comics was continuing to publish their Batman and Robin series while Phillip Kennedy Johnson was writing it. And now that he is taking the Marvel Comics exclusive shilling? There is no Batman And Robin #31 in the recent DC March 2026 solicits and solicitations. The comic is gone with #30, it seems. However, it also appears that Damian Wayne is also entirely absent from the DC Comics March 2026 solicitations. Is it all going to end badly for him? Surely not… They are going to cancel Heterosexual Robin and His Dad after only thirty issues. They had better not follow the 'Kill Your Straights' trope, like Russell T. Davies just did on The War Between the Land And The Sea?
