CBR.com have spoken with writer Grant Morrison on his upcoming run on Batman & Robin due to launch in June.

Morrison mentions how the new series feels a little bit like the classic Adam West/Burt Ward “Batman” TV series from the late 1960s, which I think is a legendary idea and Damien Robin already looks the part...

CBR: There’s no denying the excitement of your fans, but how about you? Are you thrilled to be working with Frank Quitely yet again, this time on “Batman & Robin?”

Grant Morrison: He’s just handed in the first issue and he’s started to work on the second. It’s amazing. It’s a very different take on Batman. It looks quite different. And quite interesting.

CBR: How can you describe what he is doing with the characters?

GM: Well to begin with, it’s Frank Quitely. This is certainly looser than what he was doing on “All Star Superman.” There was more control on that book, because we wanted it to be more like Superman. So it was all very controlled, very measured. The “Batman & Robin” stuff is more brazen. And he’s producing things like sound effects, because nobody does sound effects anymore. Everybody has given up on them, so what we’ve done is incorporate them into the artwork. When someone hits water, the water rises up and makes the “splash” effect. It just looks fantastic.

Again, it’s much more playful than “All Star Superman,” which was more classical and maybe more restrained. This is more wired.
