Day 4 (+ 1) of @dukethomas-week: Growth & Zero Year

I wanted to depict my idea of a merge between Zero Year and NML here. The Narrows is a post-Flashpoint invention, and where it is on the map was actually a part of Robinson Park during post-crisis (which actually makes sense if you think about how it used to be Blossom Row but I digress).

I like to imagine Duke being a minor player during NML, maybe becoming an informant of Oracle's, but definitely befriending Ivy's kids either way (hence them sharing fruit with him). Elaine and Doug wish their son wasn't so adventurous, but they don't have much to keep a curious and too-brave-for-his-own-good kid occupied indoors in a no man's land.

Two months until Duke Thomas Week 2026!

There are approximately two months remaining until Duke Thomas week 2026, which will take place from June 1st until June 5th. This is the perfect amount of time to get into Duke Thomas if you haven't already!

I have compiled this spreadsheet here with two different reading guides for Duke, a "full" one and a short one. They are both up to date as of April 2026.

Duke Thomas Spreadsheet

For those who do not want to bother with a reading list:

If you just want to jump right into Duke as Robin I would recommend reading either "We Are Robin: The Vigilante Business" which is issues #1-6 of We Are Robin. If you're more interested in Duke as a Bat I suggest All-Star Batman: My Own Worst Enemy (& most importantly, the back up story "The Cursed Wheel") which is issues #1-9 of All-Star Batman.

If you've read most of Duke's essential/longer stories already but are still looking for something else to read, I suggest checking out: Batman: Gotham Nights Chapter 8, DC Power 2024 "The Light That Shines", and Batman: The Brave and The Bold (2023) #10 "Nameless" if you haven't already.
