Synopsis for "Robin 3000"

In the year 3000, before Batman was killed by the Skulp, he tasked his nephew Robin with rallying the rebels and continuing their mission and their cause. In 3001, after Tom Wayne broke out of a Skulp prison and crash-landed on the planet Bolivar, a doctor named Dire replaced his hand with a cybernetic one. While Tom was under the effects of anesthesia, he dreamt of Bruce Wayne XIX, how he developed a process that combined cloning and genetic manipulation and became Batman after being imprisoned by the Skulp and meeting Selina Kyle.

They broke out Dire's contact Moon Bailey from a Skulp pharmaceutical factory before they spotted an android impostor of Tom. On the planet Cetigus Beta, anti-Skulp rebels unsuccessfully attempted to capture the android, but were sent back in time by the time displacer of Dregon, the head of Skulp counterintelligence. Back on Earth, Aki convinced Tom to vanish for a few days.

Notes

  • Robin 3000 is a two-issue limited series published under DC's Elseworlds imprint and takes place outside the continuity of the mainstream DC Universe universe.
  • This story was originally created by Byron Preiss and P. Craig Russell in 1985–6 as a graphic novel titled Tom Swift 3000. It featured a futuristic version of the Stratemeyer Syndicate character Tom Swift, and was intended for Simon & Schuster's new graphic novel line. However, when Simon & Schuster changed their minds on entering the graphic novel market, the story languished for a few years before Preiss brought it to DC with plans to turn it into a Robin story, which was accomplished with rewriting and the addition of 18 new pages.[1]
  • This issue is reprinted in Elseworlds: Batman Vol. 1.

Trivia

  • In prison, Tom read Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.
