We Are Robin was acomic book series published by the comic book publishing companyDC Comics withLee Bermejo as dual artist and writer, along with other artists Rob Haynes, Jorge Corona, andKhary Randolph. The first issue was released in June 2015 and the last issued in May 2016.^[1] It took place afterBatman: Endgame whileBruce Wayne had amnesia and was unable to resume his mantle of Batman. The name "We Are Robin" also plays into the currentRobin being away from the city, with teens filling in the gap both heroes left. It would lead into the 2016 crossover eventRobin War, which crossed over withRed Hood and the Outlaws and the mainBatman title, whileCommissioner Jim Gordon held the mantle of the Dark Knight in Wayne's absence, which concluded the storyline.

Batman: Noël writer Lee Bermejo explainsWe Are Robin is a new approach to showcase diversity in theDC Universe for readers. On the subject of expanding the character of Robin, he explained: "With ideas and big concepts, teenagers can get really passionate about that stuff and it can be their whole life. That was something interesting to me, that this thing could be bigger than just one guy jumping around in a domino mask".^[2]

According to Bermejo, his inspiration for the series came from the question of whyBatman would put a child out on the streets to fight crime, thus risking placing him in danger. WhileWe Are Robin does not focus on past RobinsDick Grayson,Jason Todd,Tim Drake,Stephanie Brown, or the incumbentDamian Wayne, Bermejo did not rule out including them in the future. By bringing in different characters as Robin, Bermejo hopes to create a different dynamic with the identity: "You can take that concept of Robin and really play with it and really stretch it and expand upon it and bend it. It still will hold resemblance to the core of the character in the Bat-mythos".^[2]
