Robin: Year One

No gods. No billionaires. No adult heroes are coming to save Gotham City.

The front line isn't manned by seasoned legends-it belongs to the youth.

At just thirteen years old, Jeremiah Davis carries a burden far heavier than his tactical gear. He wears a hand-painted yellow R over his heart, stepping into the damp, neon-and-shadow-soaked labyrinth of Gotham to wage a silent, isolated war. Trained from the age of seven by a legendary mentor alongside his own retired father, Jeremiah possesses the sharp mind of a detective and the conditioning of an elite martial artist. But he is still a child fighting a brutal, entrenched criminal underbelly completely on his own.

He has no high-tech corporate backing. No secret empires. Every choice he makes and every step he takes requires muscle, momentum, and flawless execution. One miscalculation on the rooftops, and the concrete will do the rest.

When the city's corrupt forces launch an aggressive, militarized manhunt to eliminate him, Jeremiah is pushed to his absolute physical and psychological limits. In a city built on systemic fear, survival requires more than just hiding in the shadows. He must learn what it truly means to be a symbol before the darkness swallows him whole.

The origin of a brand-new universe begins in the dark.

Can a thirteen-year-old boy survive the city that breaks grown men, or will he become just another shadow in Gotham?
