See how out of comics I am?? DC at least.
Got all up to date on this Damian Wayne guy. Watched some DC animated clips. I like the dynamic between him and Dick Grayson. Pretty cool, all in all if not very complicated with carious DC reboots mucking with him and his whole relationship to Ras Al Ghul and all the resurrections that come with that CF.
Yes, And No. But yes. And then he’s dead. But then he’s never been dead, i don’t know what you’re talking about. And then he’s friends with Superman’s kid. But not the previous Superman, but the Previous previous Superman. Sort of. But not really.
I hope I cleared that up for you.
Batman has something like four kids. Maybe five. Damian is the only genetic spawn, so of course the least like him. I think that’s how it works.
Terry McGinnis from Batman Beyond is also Bruce Wayne’s son. But that’s a different timeline.
I knew majoring in “Super-Sons” was a bad idea.
He’s 80. He should have grandkids at least.
Damien’s death wasn’t retconned. He was resurrected.
Wasn’t he prepared?
Glad to know they didn’t completely ignore Morrison.
What do you mean only 97% effective - they should put that on the label!
<pushes glasses up, and speaks in nerd voice> Well… uh… technically, you see… Damian’s first appearance was at the end of “Batman: Son of the Demon” in 1987. The book was never considered canon, but DC brought Damian Wayne back in 2006.
Damian’s grandfather is Ras al-Ghul: you know, the guy who owns and uses the Lazarus Pit to resurrect himself regularly. Returning Damian to the living is less dubious than most.
DC’s such a mess ever since post-crisis gave way to post-post-crisis. Least they’re giving superman back his red undies, his costume looks stupid with just blue tights.
I was ignoring other timelines. Of course there were Batman, Junior, I think he was called, back in the 1960’s, and some versions of the Huntress.
I was referring to the tendency in some comics to have Bruce end up adopting the various Robins. I think he may have ended up adopting Dick, Tim, and Cass before the reboot, and I’m pretty sure he adopted Jason in the 1980’s. Granted, I’m not sure how much applies in the most current stuff; Cass and Tim were hit with the stupid DC retcon treatment, but may be getting back to something like their old selves finally.
In the animated movies,
In Batman: Bad Blood, Damien is working as Robin.
In Justice League vs Teen Titans, Damien is moved to the Teen Titans.
And getting married at this point! Talk about staying in the game…
He actually IS getting married - I think the wedding is due in the next couple issues. (He’s been engaged to Catwoman since some time last year.)
does the one illegit daughter he had with catwoman in the failed (and possibly soon to be resurrected ) birds of prey show count ?
Bruce Wayne’s 20th-generation grandson will fight invaders from Saturn in the year 3000.
As long as that marriage doesn’t get winked out of existence by Neron…
