Damian Wayne Robin Appreciation 2021

[Light of Justice]

Turn down the edge a bit buddy. I literally don't understand how that is your takeaway from Damian's stories.

I think different fans can have different perspective about a character, it's normal. And for people who have different takes, it's understandable that they can't understand each other.

And I think it's too early for us to judge. As per solicitation, he's nowhere get his Robin mantle back as Batman's sidekick, more like he creates his own version of Robin title.

That's why the little moments that he can act like a kid are so good.

true, but it also makes sense that those moments are pretty few and far between, especially as he's entering adolescence and his teens. the older he gets, I can see Damian feeling more justified in his "adult complex".

[Restingvoice]

Damian is a child soldier, yes, he started at the darkest of dark, which is why the character development I want is for him to be less and less that. That doesn't mean there isn't gonna be bumps or withdrawals, and maybe in a long form storytelling, the withdrawal can last a while, but there should be a progressive change.

(I'm no longer talking about Robinhood or not right now but the way DC tell their story and yeah, I realize we're talking about corporate comics who likes to keep things the same, but I'm not lowering my standard.)

...Bruce is his own problem.

[Morgoth]

It seems like DC wants once again to promote Robin not just as a sidekick or a Titans member, but as a more independent character with his own stories and support cast. Just like they did with Tim many years ago.
They, obviously, don't have any faith in Tim, so they decided to invest in Damian.

It's the same case with Superboy, like Conner's Superboy on Suicide Squad and Jon's Superboy on Superman/Action Comics maybe. With three Batgirl, West twins come back but Wallace still there and Wally's redemption, I think next era will be focused on multiple holder of legacy title. Looks like Tim will be Robin on Gotham, next Batman writer is Tynion after all.

Tell that to the guy who insisted I was "lying to myself"

[Fergus]

Solicitations are coming out in two days and Joshua Williamson posted a Damian gif, can't wait to see what we'll be getting exactly.
I'm hoping for a Damian solo.

Looks like you called it

[scary harpy]

Should've shown the full cover and not the cropped version.

I don't hate the costume.

I am less than impressed with the color choices.

I'm not too keen on the costume or the colours myself. Also he looks younger somehow

[Blue22]

Also he looks younger somehow

That's been a common thing with him ever since Rebirth. He'll look anywhere between 10 and 14 depending on the artist. One of the only times he really looked like a teenager to me was in an early issue of King's Batman books. I don't really mind. It works for the short man complex he's always had lol

That said, I think 14 is probably the last year DC can get away with that. And even then, it's pushing it. Puberty is really taking its sweet time with him. Though I've often theorized that he came back to life at the same age he was when he died. So that might be the issue too. He's 13/14 but he very well could be a year behind, physically, depending on how long he was dead for.

Completely agree. After Red Hood, Red Robin, Batwoman, and now even Grifter and Clownhunter, we seriously don't need another red-themed costume on Batfam.

It's not red though. That costume is mostly grey.

I don't know what it is, but the grey looks better here.
The old Robin cape still doesn't match the rest of the costume though.

[Blue22]

Yeah the cape does throw it off a bit, doesn't it? I honestly wouldn't mind if they just said "**** it" and got rid of the cape or replaced it with a hood. But that could just be my general dislike for capes.

Maya is coming back
We might even seen Jon and Colin
