Damian Wayne Robin Appreciation 2021

[Korath]

It's really strange. I guess DC was in a really difficult place where plans changed constantly at the time. Maybe they still had plans for Damian to become an anti-hero/villain at the time they started this and maybe the book where Damian was supposed to kill someons after he left the team after Djinn War got cancelled so they decided to do it in Teen Titans instead? Wasn't Damian supposed to show up in Checkmate by Bendis (aka the guy who wanted Damian to turn into Hitler 2.0 for his Legion of Superheroes book)?

A correction : Chameleon Boy said that and Brainiac 5 immediately said that it was a deeply unfair assesment of who Damian Wayne was. He was never meant to be Hitler-like, but he was clearly meant to be a more ambiguous figure than most other DC characters, which makes perfect sense considering who Damian is.

Much like the entire Batfamily jobbing to Thomas Wayne, I just like to pretend the whole "baby Hitler" thing didn't happen. I know I just got done saying I don't like mistakes being swept under the rug but like....those are exceptions.

If everyone save for one member of a huge team considers it fair to compare you to Hitler then I wouldn't consider that ambiguous.
Several of them seemed straight up afraid of him.

Sure, but only Brainiac 5 has been show to truly knows what happened or at mleast have more than a passing interest in Earth history, so I'd say his words are of greater worth in that regard. He knows that Damian did something(s) which are morally debatable but still it's clear he doesn't consider this comparison to hold any water, which is the most important element of this whole exchange to me. That and the fact that it was clearly there to (a) explain why there would be no Bat in the Legion and (b) highlight even more that te=hey were hiding a lot of things from Jon, which ended spectatcularly backfiring on them.

The best Damian Wayne/Robin costume:

.

The Rebirth version of the above was too cluttered. Like this new costume. Switch the collar for the trademark hood.

I love this costume too

[Restingvoice]

Hmm... since there are different type of Robin capes, I like the original for Dick and Jason since they're the trapeze artists, the bird feather type for Tim and Steph since their era was when they use the bird image instead of Robin Hood, and the current bat wing cape for Damian, since he's the Son of The Bat.

Oh wow. I thought I was the only one who preferred this over his rebirth costume (only thing I'd change is the cape. Make it black). I'd say its my favorite of his looks but....I REALLY like the one he has now and the one he'll have in Williamson's book.

[adrikito]

It was not unexpected(after the last TT run) but... It seems that the EmikoxKidFlash will be a thing soon...


Damian is really UNLUCKY.. I thought that he had a change long time ago with her but nothing.


Is like DC wants that those pedophiles that ship him with Superkid in disgusting +18 fanarts(No, not talking only about kisses) continue like that not allowing Damian to have any girlfriend.

Any ideia of who is the guy with the nunchaku that looks like a bat character?

I heard that is NITE-WING here. A Nightwing villain.

[Morgoth]

hat not allowing Damian to have any girlfriend

Maybe Williamson will set something up with Maya or Flatline.
It will happen someday anyway, lol.

[Blue22]

I don't know enough about Flatline to decide whether or not I want that but as for Maya, absolutely not. She's made it pretty clear, more than once, the kind of relationship they have. And I'd like it to stay that way.

The only character I've really liked the idea of Damian being with is Djinn. But even that comes with some issues given the 4,000 year gap in their ages.

That said...Damian doesn't really need a girl(or boy)friend. I'm perfectly fine with him just not having a love interest for a very long time.

If there's one thing you gotta know about hardcore shippers, it's that they're gonna ship their ships, regardless. DC could make Damian a bigger playa than Bruce and Dick put together and he'll still have that subset of fans who ship him with Jon. Fandoms love their LGBT ships. Just look at all the Iron Man and Captain America shippers lol

Worse, look at all the Supernatural shippers that put Dean and Sam (brothers) together. Or Dragon Ball shippers with Goku and Bra (don't ask me why, but they exist). Shippers may ship, but some of them have some pretty big issues with their ships.

Hell, if you venture deep enough into tumblr you'll find plenty of ships between Batfamily members. The internet has no shame.

Even if he had a girlfriend they would still ship him with Jon. What websites are you browsing? Can't you put it on safe mode and block +18 fanart?

In Supernatural, it's probably because they didn't develop relationships outside the one between Dean and Sam enough. Shippers pair up whichever characters have the strongest relationship, they do it with straight ships too (Reylo, Katara and Zuko). It's like two characters can't have a strong relationship without it being romantic.
