Dig the official solicitation info, which will be formally released later Friday:

A welcome lull in Gotham crime convinces Bruce Wayne he’s overdue for one of his patented carefree billionaire playboy appearances, and London’s calling. When a desperate Kirk Langstrom also shows up acting suspiciously, it’s more than enough to trip Batman’s radar. Meanwhile, Talia al Ghul monitors Bruce from afar—so that a young boy may see the face of his father. Damian Wayne makes his DC debut, and the Wayne family will never be the same!
$3.99 US | 32 pages

A few thoughts:
— As the solicitation notes, this was Damian’s first appearance, hence the Robin cover, though he didn’t officially become the Boy Wonder in this outfit until 2009’s Batman and Robin #1.
— If you don’t recall, the Damian concept was (pun intended) born in 1987’s graphic novel Batman: Son of the Demon, by Mike W. Barr and Jerry Bingham.
— Obligatory Price Comparison: An unslabbed, NM- copy of an original Batman #655 recently sold on eBay for about $100.
