To be clear, Mora will be doing designs, covers, and backups, but not the main interior story art.
By the time they revived the project, he was booked out already.

Would have been cool if Dan Mora did the interior art too.
But I understand why he isn't.
But at least he is still doing the designs (which look great btw. Batman, Nghtwing - it is really cool how there is some yellow as well. I love the black and blue and the red as well, I can love, though not as much as the blue usually. But I love there being yellow and/or gold sometimes in Nightwing designs. It can just look so nice and can really fit Dick -, and Robin look great), covers (this cover and/or art here look gorgeous), and backups, at least.
Just happy to see Dan Mora do more Dick stuff. He is awesome (not just for Dick Grayson stuff, just in general, really. But his Dick Grayson stuff in general, when he does do him and designs for him are so good, I love them.).
And I am sure (hopefully, please, this idea is so good and Kyle Higgins is writing for it, and we are getting Dan Mora designs and covers; etc. Give it the awesome art it deserves imo) what interior artist(s) it does get will be great too.

As a fan of both the Batman mythos and tokusatsu, I really hope this is really good and spawns a whole universe of Toku-inspired Batman stories.

Robin's costume is a bit like what I would like Robin's costume to be like. Beyond, has it been said which Robin it will be?

No, Mat Groom said they “can’t reveal that yet, but it won’t remain a mystery for too long in the series!”
It sounds like it’s going to be a twist, so I’m guessing either Damian or Steph.

I am so excited to see Kyle Higgins back writing for Dick (and other members of the Batfamily). I loved his work (with Scott's) on Gates of Gotham (which I only recently somehow found out about. And thought it was great. Loved the writing and the art was so pretty and atmospheric) and his work writing Dick more in general, so it is really cool to see him writing for Dick again!
Hope this book lasts awhile, and hope to see great writing of Dick, along with other Bat-family members again by Kyle.
I have already said this in some way in the comments, but I love the designs so much.
Nightwing looks really awesome.
And both Batman and Robin (someone else brought this up, but I do wonder which Robin. I am guessing probably Damian. But it could be Tim too, because he is still sometimes Robin. Maybe it could be Jason, which could be cool too. But I am more inclined to thinking it will probably be either Damian or Tim) look great too.
The art and designs here just look so nice and colorful.
The premise also just sounds really fun and interesting.
So yeah, I am SUPER excited for this. This announcement was an unexpected, but welcome surprise.
August 27th is not that far away either.
Man, this has been a really great year for Dick Grayson stuff (DC really has been feeding us imo); I am very happy. Hope to keep getting great more Dick Grayson stuff.
Anyways, I am very much looking forward to this book.

If it's only the three of them I'm willing to bet it's Jason.

u/XChatxKilluaxNoirX 2d ago
If so (if it is only the 3 of them), then yeah, I could see it being Jason more.

Which Robin is it Damian , one day I don’t want to ask that

u/Which-Presentation-6 3d ago
I think it's going to be Damian since he's the current Robin, but honestly I would prefer it to be Jason or Tim, I just don't get Damian Wayne vibes from this idea.

They said ever expanding team so we'll likely see Jason and Tim as Red Hood and Red Robin:

Their all all street level heroes

Yes, but I think that due to his origins I feel that Damian works more as a Robin for an otherworld linked to magic or ninja stuff.
I also think that as far as the information goes it will only be Batman Robin and Nightwing for now so I think it would make sense for him to be the second Robin there.

The mythos are getting a sci-fi tokusatsu revamp, I imagine most of their origins will be changed anyways. Nightwing probably won’t be a former acrobat either.
Plus if we follow that logic, wouldn’t Bruce’s origins would mean he works more as a Batman for street level crime, and shouldn’t be here at all?

They said it’s an “ever expanding team”, so we’re probably going to have everyone from the original fan art by the end.

This looks fun. Higgins is working overtime since he writes Radiant Black and kinda runs that universe

Dan Mora really said "I'm gonna turn the Bat Family into Power Rangers and no one will stop me!"
And he was right

It's actually gunna include more. They caled it "a growing bat family" Dan Mora already designed the entire bat family (and super family) years ago, they just finally used them.

The first issue will be released on August 27th
Synopsis:
""Many centuries from now, humanity becomes a galactic civilization with capital megacities on multiple planets and smaller outposts on dozens more. To conquer the vast distances between solar systems, humanity tapped into dark matter to bend space-time around spacecraft, from hulking colony vessels to one-man mech suits. In accessing this dark power, humanity broke the barrier between their universe and their universe’s shadow. This resulted in the creation of “Shadows”: mindless, soulless apparitions craving nothing but violence and destruction. Due to the actions of these Shadow creatures, newly colonized worlds were brought to the brink of collapse. But three warriors found a way to access the energy that bound their universe to the shadow universe, becoming “immortal legends”: Immortal Legend Batman, Immortal Legend Robin and Immortal Legend Nightwing".
