In an interview with IGN before the release of the first issue, Morrison detailed that the tone of the series would be a 'reverse' of the normal dynamic between Batman and Robin, with, 'a more light-hearted and spontaneous Batman and a scowling, bad ass Robin'. Paul Cornell and Scott McDaniel created a three-issue arc before the new ongoing creative team, the former Green Lantern Corps duo of writer Peter Tomasi and artist Patrick Gleason, began their run with February 2011's issue #20. While writing for this title, Morrison simultaneously wrote the miniseries The Return of Bruce Wayne and finished his run on the title with issue #16, before moving onto the next phase of his narrative in Batman Incorporated. Morrison returned to writing the characters after being the ongoing writer on Batman from issues #655–658 and #663–683.
