BURBANK, CA (April 2, 2014) – The

– discovers he is a father in the newest DC

Batman learns he has a son, Damian – and to further complicate matters, the

Ghul. When the odds quickly turn against Batman and Damian, Batman must become
both father and mentor to the aggressive, agile new Robin. Together they form
an uneasy alliance to try and thwart the criminal enterprise of Deathstroke and
his army of ninja man-bats before there are international consequences.
