In an interview with Newsarama, Tomasi talks about getting Robinson on Batman, teases the storyline and reveals how he sees Batman, which is a departure from how he’s been portrayed over the past several years:
Bruce/Batman to me, is not driven by the death of his parents anymore. Yes, it was the catalyst and a driving force at first, and yes, seeing his parents murdered before his young eyes is something that will stay with him forever, but I don't feel he's haunted by it anymore. What Bruce does now is honor their memory each and every night by going out into Gotham as its protector and in a strange way its advocate. Because what he does each and every night is saying something to the people of the city: This city will never fall prey to the evildoers. It may be banged up and kicked around sometimes, but it's always gonna get back up and keep fighting, keep living, because as trite as it may sound, to keep on keeping on is what it's all about. Evil and darkness will not win. Good will triumph as long as you don't turn your head - or as that old saying goes (I'm paraphrasing): all that takes for evil to win is for a good man to say/or do nothing.
He won’t yet reveal who will be taking over the books following Robinson, but he confirms Bruce Wayne will still be Batman and Tim Drake will still be Robin (though this may not necessarily be true at the outset of the storyline). We will also see more stories featuring Batman AND Robin. Unclear is what is happening with Nightwing.
All in all, it sounds promising.
