About Batman and Robin and Howard

Sidelined by a crime-fighting field trip gone wrong, Damian Wayne must refocus his attention on his life as an average student and learning how to be a team player especially when he meets his match in his new rival, Howard. To Damian Wayne, there is nothing more important than protecting the streets of Gotham City as Robin. But when he makes a critical mistake while out on patrol, Damian finds himself benched. And what's more, Damian's dad, Bruce Wayne, Batman decides that starting over in a new school will be just the distraction Damian needs from his superhero routine.

He is certain that Gotham Metro Academy has nothing to teach him. Damian is completely unprepared for the challenge he finds in Howard. Howard is the smartest and most athletic kid in school. The boys' rivalry is instantaneous and fierce. Both are sure only one of them can be the best in their class.
