An important member of the Bat-Family makes a surprising return in the preview of Batman vs. Robin #1. Father and son go head-to-head in the upcoming five-issue miniseries from writer Mark (Batman/Superman: World's Finest) and artist Mahmud Asrar (Conan the Barbarian), who is making his return to DC. Batman vs. Robin spins out of Waid's Batman/Superman title and the "Shadow War" crossover between Batman, Robin, and Deathstroke Inc. As the preview reveals, Bruce Wayne's longtime butler and confidant Alfred Pennyworth appears to be back from the dead, though the magical nature of the series casts some doubt on the proceedings.
