Damian Wayne Robin Appreciation 2021

[Shen]

I hope DC not makes him shorter again after this comic.. I like his current height. Saying that because after give to him a darker skin during some time DC returned with the white Damian.

Tall people does not look too tall compared with him now:

As much as Iove Dami being Smol - I do agree, I hope he keeps this growth (and starts growing a bit more). Although, idk how tall he really is. Someone stated Ravager being around 5'4, and he's a little shorter than that.

I'll say it, Robin is the best title DC is currently releasing.

In terms of ongoing books, I'd say it's right up there with the following:

Cloonan/Conrad's Wonder Woman
Taylor's Nightwing
Adams' The Flash
Tynion's The Joker (but only because it's secretly a Jim Gordon title, since Tynion doesn't write Joker well.)

It's too early for me to declare any of them as being head and shoulders above the others.

My *guess* is that when Infinite Frontier is over, Wonder Woman will end up being my favorite book during this era. But we'll see how it plays out. Maybe it's Robin instead.

I had such high hopes for Nigthwing but Taylor is taking his time developing the plot. Also not best pleased that I'm yet to see any hints of 'one of DC's best detectives' that he promised.

Taylor's run thus far has been more fan service and nostalgia porn.

Tall people does not look too tall compared with him now:

well his height was originally there to make him look young, not because he's actually small for his age.

It makes sense for him to have a similar height and build to his father.

[Digifiend]

OK. She really knows his identity saying his name.(I can be wrong but I think that she did not said his name in Robin 2)

That makes sense - they were both in the Teen Titans together before Flashpoint.

I don't think it's Mary Marvel - it says 'A furious Bloody Mary' so I'm assuming it's a new character/really old one I've never heard of before. Must be someone worth getting Darkseid involved. Lol, maybe it's his Ex.

She's a character from the early 90s Hawk and Dove series and a member of the Female Furies.

Idk why Damian didn't think of him for his Titans - Jackson was/is Awesome.

Jackson was on Damian's first team. In fact, it's where he was reintroduced after being erased in the New 52 reboot.

I realised that I haven't read anything with Ra's since, probably, Rebirth started. What has he been up to since then?

He was the main villain in Batman and the Outsiders.

I am sure Barbara said Damian is short dor his age and I think other characters sugested this (Also Jon, but I think it's because he is tall).

[Rebeca Armus]

I thought that too.. I liked his relationship with Aqualad.

Me too </3

The last time Damian saw lady Vic
Lol this beach episode is so awkward

[Rebeca Armus]

I really liked the last issue! Damian hanging out at the party was nice, and yess, Connor and Damian interacting! I do think they might've opened up to each other a little quick? Given Connor's brainwashing (?) or whatever he has going on. But it's a promising dynamic! And I'm always happy to see Ra's and Damian interacting, they have a really interesting relationship as well.

One thing that made me a little sad was Damian's declaration about his friends. What about Colin, and especially Maya? Such is the way of comics though - past relationships get forgotten.

Do Colin exist in DC now? Is so weird how Damian never mentions him.
Maya was just totally forgot by the writers :/ also don't like how Damian doesn't see Dick as a friend :/

***I just though, Damian and Maya last interaction was 1 year ago (for they), maybe because of this he doesn't have her in mind, or maybe he see her as a sister or a partner for a time and now them paths will keep apart.

[Rebeca Armus]

I have 2 doubts
1-why Damian changes his clothes being this "gray robin" and this "Arabian ninja"? Everybody know he is Damian, why he doesn't just keep 1??
2- Isn't Damian too week? Kind ok for me about Flatline because I counted as a surprise element, but Connor has less practice time, and no Batman trainer, how was this fight so fast with Damian loosing it?

[Rebeca Armus]

*** maybe Rose know Damian's identity because she knows all Batfamily identity? I didn't read many stories with her, but maybe she knows because of Dick, Jason or Tim? Or even because of Slade?

When I read stories with Bruce I feel like EVERYONE (heroes, villains, many ex's, Robin's ex's, some peoples) knows about Batman being Bruce.

Rose has been a Teen Titan under Dick, dated Jason at one point, and worked with the others in some capacity over the years. Her knowing Damian's identity is only to be expected in this case.

I've actually always kinda liked the idea of him being a bit on the small side, even in adulthood. I could seen him being more lean rather than, say, the level of bulkiness that his Dad and Jason are typically drawn as. Less of a Batman build and more of a....I guess, Nightwing or Batman Beyond. Something more befitting of like an agile/ninja-esque type of fighter than the straight up brawler that Bruce is often portrayed as being.

Aw, it'd be a shame if Colin didn't exist anymore, but I wouldn't be super surprised. I don't really mind Dick not being counted, because I think Damian puts him firmly in the "family" category, along with all the other Bat characters. I think he and Maya did call each other brother and sister, so maybe it's the same? Still, I really liked her and wish she'd be back, or at least mentioned sometimes...

2- Isn't Damian too week? Kind ok for me about Flatline because I counted as a surprise element, but Connor has less practice time, and no Batman trainer, how was this fight so fast with Damian loosing it?

Connor's meant to be a really strong fighter, though. Like, he landed hits on Lady Shiva level.

I know at least two Bats Damian has barely gotten along with (usually because of extenuating circumstances at that); Jason and Tim.
