While many have gone by the moniker of Robin, these protégés of the Dark Knight are just as mesmerized by the hope and justice the symbol of the bat represents as are the rest of the citizens of Gotham City.

In the back-up story in BATMAN #0, writer James Tynion IV (TALON) and artist Andy Clarke (BATMAN AND ROBIN) travel five years back in time and show how various characters react to seeing the iconic Bat Symbol illuminate the night sky for the very first time.

In case you missed it, check out the page below that shows Dick Grayson, Jason Todd and Tim Drake all looking up at the Bat Symbol. Witness as Dick, Jason and Tim pause to be entranced by a light that not only shines against the night sky, but also paves the path for their destinies as Batman’s future partners in fighting crime.
