I've been staring at DC's new blurry timeline and I think I got Damian's timeline. It's the easiest to read after Dick.

Generation 2 Year 1 Batman and Superman debuts
Generation 2 Year 3 Dick Grayson debuts as Robin
Generation 2 Year 15 Crisis on Infinite Earths era Dick Grayson debuts as Nightwing
Generation 3 Year 5 Birth of The Demon?
Generation 3 Year 6 Zero Hour - Damian's born?
Generation 3 Year 14 Final Crisis era Damian debuts
Generation 4 Year 1 Dick debuts as Batman and Damian as Robin
Generation 4 Year 2 Damian dies
Generation 4 Year 3 Rebirth era Damian returns - Damian leads Rebirth Teen Titans
Generation 4 Year 4 Dark Nights Metal - Damian leads his new Teen Titans

That's all I can read (guess)

Generation 1 is 25 years
Generation 2 is 15 years
Generation 3 is 15 years
Generation 4 is 5 years ending at Year of The Villains

Didio posted a clear pic. All my guesses for Gen 4 confirmed.

Figured they'd age Damian up some since they seem to be keeping the voice actor he had way back in Son of Batman

But what about Beast boy, can he really just not age past 17? Also is that superboy and static

Thank you very much. I saw the scans from BC so I know this must have taken a whole lot of squinting

This is a cool line up. Glad to see Static and Donna but where's Blue?>

[adrikito]

That tittle... So is about what is mentioned here? attack apokolips?

I may not always love animated movie Damian but it's actually kind of cool watching a Robin grow up .

Could be Beast Boy's powers make him age slower. Although I think Raven looks taller? She and Damian are now equal in height (I think she was taller then him before).

The black kid in the back is Kid Flash, I think. He had a grey and black costume during the New 52.

Yeah I had a feeling that was Wallace *sigh*. Guess it was only a matter of time before he started showing up in other stuff :/

I think the only time I straight up didn't like him was in Batman VS Robin. Any other issue I've had were more to do with the movies than they had to do with him. Never really liked whatever he had going on with Slade, or those movies' treatment of Slade in general. Definitely didn't like how Talia turned out in Bad Blood. And I REALLY didn't like the shipteasing with Raven in TT VS JL. But, issues aside, I've always thought they had a very solid portrayal of Damian. Hope we start seeing more like it in other stuff.

Based on the Cassandra Cain we're about to get, I don't know if I fully trust DC to do a live action version of him. Maybe give it some more time XD

I doubt DC will have issues doing a good live action Damian. Badass kids are pretty common in movies and shows these days. All we need is a good actor. My worry is that DC is gonna be too late to the game when he finally gets to live action he's going to look like a no5/x-23 knock off. A desperate attempt at making movie Robin cool [ live action Robin's haven't gone over very well with audiences so far]

Cass's case is different. Margot seems to have zero interest in Cassandra Cain character herself. She just seems to there as a plot device and for diversity points which is a shame. I was watching the Boys and when I saw 'The Female' I instantly thought this is kinda what we should have gotten in BOP Cass.

Looking forward to this. I was hoping we'll get more TT movies. Kon, Donna and KF joins the team. YES

Looked at that preview. Bendis STILL can't write Damian at all.

And some of the rumors, like what Bleeding Cool has, make me lose hope in the future of DC Comics.
