Batman Eternal established that Leo Falcone was her dad, and he's pretty blonde.
In any case, let me just point out that my Ethiopian and Indian housemates both referred to people of Arabic and Middle Eastern ethnicity as a darker shade of white, and that both men after three years of living in my latitude were pale enough that their families accused them of bleaching their skin. Damian should look like the average resident of Dearborn Michigan in the winter. Or Saladin Ahmed, or the kid who plays Bruce in Gotham except for he should have some Far East features as well. He's mixed race and spends the majority of his time in latitudes with low UV and indoors during daylight. He's going to fade. Everyone does. Seriously, have you not seen how pale the people in Dearborn are? That's the largest concentration of Arabs outside the Middle East and most after a few years can pass for white.
Which blows my mind, because unlike my latitude, it's safe to expose skin to the elements for several months of the year. Up here it's either frostbite or mosquitos. Or both at the same time.
