Summary

Batman suspects a modern-day rock-and-roll icon of masterminding a nationwide crime spree, using teenaged fans as his henchmen. However, Robin is certain that his idol could not be responsible for these crimes. In his secret identity of Dick Grayson, the Boy Wonder uncovers a bizarre and elaborate frame-up.In Fortunate Son, Jones and Ha put their considerable storytelling gifts to work, exploring a theme rarely considered in stories of Batman and Robin: how the generation gap between them leads them to view the world in strikingly different ways. As the heroes struggle to overcome their differences and uncover the truth about rocker Izaak Crowe's alleged crimes, incredible secrets are revealed about pop culture, American life and the role music played in the development of two of DC's greatest heroes.With amazingly realistic artwork, Batman: Fortunate Son should appeal to fans of elaborate line-art, as well as the traditional comic audience. The ideal audience for this project begins at age 16, and continues from there.
