What about Damian as the Magistrate?

What about Damian as the Magistrate?

It crossed my mind when he was no where to be seen + DC has been pushing that Damian anti hero button for a while now soI wouldn't put it past them.

I'm not keen on the idea and the name is lame.

That's kinda what I fear. Remember when Bendis called Damian baby Hitler in Losh.

I also wondered if the Batman in JL might be Damian. I hope it is cos otherwise DC pretty much just shit on all the legacy characters of colour from his gen.

I don't think Damian is Red X since the solicits mention the team contacting him or something along those lines.

Bleeding cool has been pretty spot on with their leaks, so I'm fairly certain the masked Batman in JL is either Luke or Tim Fox.

The thing is there are differences between the suit of Batman in JL and Next Batman. It is possible they are different people, since the events of Future State books could happen at different times.

So, it's possible Luke or Tim Fox is Batman in Next Batman, while Damian is Batman in JL.

The suits look pretty alike and I don't think DC wants too many people running around as Batman, don't forget that Bruce is still there. The small diffences in the costumes might simply be the fault of the artists. It's too similar to really tell them apart.
I think both the new Batman and the JL Batman are the same guy and that means one of the Foxes.

What about Damian as the Magistrate?

Could be cool if it's written well. "Damian the mastermind" better than yet another future version of Damian being Batman.

[Rebeca Armus]

I would still prefer Damian on his own (good) path. I can see why TIM and Jason have a thing with Gotham, but for me it's not a city where Damian would like to spend all his life, just like Dick doesn't has this obsession for the City, Damian is much more someone that can has a journey out of the uglier city of the world.
Because this I would prefer him
- Way from Gotham for a time
- Not alone
- if possible with Dick
- having 1-3 friends near of him
- doing/learning things he likes.
(That exactly the opposite of the current situation </3...)

[Rebeca Armus]

Still heart breaking :/
Jon's friends of future didn't said about changes this Damian's future? Avoid Baby Hitler thing isn't one of the main missions of them?

Was this a thing? Or I made up it up in my mind?

We don't need another evil/misguided version of Damian either though.

And if I had to choose between Damian as a good Batman and Damian as evil I'm picking the Batman option.

[Astralabius]

No, that was a thing in issue 3. I don't remember Bendis ever following up on that though.

He probably meant to follow up on it in 5G or whatever, but then Didio got canned.

[Restingvoice]

The one thing I have for The Magistrate not being Damian is they're hunting Batman and there's an implication he's thought to be dead by their attack. Damian may round up villains and fighting vigilantes that are fighting back, but Bruce and Dick should be off limit.

[Digifiend]

And now his only Future State book is Legion.

[Morgoth]

And now his only Future State book is Legion.

By the way, it's really surprising.
