Damian Wayne Robin Appreciation 2021

[Blue22]

I know that some people will disagree with me, but I hate this ending for him and I think it's the worst option lol. To me, Damian should create his own identity.

Yeah I'd rather he not follow in either of his parents' footsteps. Some kind of middle ground maybe but I don't want him being Batman (especially if he's using the 666 look. I hate that costume) and I don't want him straight up taking over either of Ra's or Talia's organizations (albeit for heroic purposes). I used to think I wanted the latter. But the more I think about it, the more I want Damian to just...do his own thing. I wanted the same for Jon but it looks like that ship has sailed.

Re-read the issue again, and all this talk of his own identity. The idea struck me.

I'd say for him to adopt the name the Grey Ghost.
Oracle in the first issue already calls him a Ghost, and his costume does have that tint of Grey.
Plus, a call back to that old Batman TAS episode.

Yeah, man, remember when people got tired of Miles Morales? I don't even remember his name! And, like, DC is totally gonna get rid of the new Batman who literally doesn't affect the old Batman at all. Just so that *checks notes* my favorite character who was never gonna be Batman anyway can be Batman in *checks notes* an Elseworlds story!

Honestly, SALES ARE IMPORTANT. When people get tired of Damian, DC should bring back Carrie Kelley from the New 52. Would anyone even remember his name in 2025?

I am a little tired of this.. I will stop paying you attention.

I enjoy talking with people but.. Is not the case with you. Is almost like one Marvel and DC fan having a discussion about which universe is better



If you are talking Half seriously and not only trolling you will end disappointed with that Batman.

Hes not gonna be we know Jace will be batman
And Batman Beyond shows him the Demon head

[Shen]

He lead the League of Assassins in Beyond but most people won't like that because it makes him "villainous".

That's soo dumb! I loved him as Ra's. God, some people just need to chill.

Ever since reading Beyond, that's always the destiny I wanted him to have. The resources of Ra's al Ghul trump Batmans even more in current continuity. I mean, dude has his own country and built a city of assassins centuries ago. And should current Ra's bite the dust, that city will fall in either Talia or Damian's hands. He could actually do some good with what the title of Ra's gets him.

Not Batman though, Jace can have that or one of Bruce's other broken condoms can take a shot at it. Just recently Bruce asked himself what difference he's made in his city and - not much, actually.

Because the Clown Prince can decide to show up one night in Gotham and paint the town red with the blood of the innocents, all while waiting for his Dark Knight to escort him back to his throne in Arkham.

Well, lets hope Gordan changes that.

I mean, his uncle Dusan was called the "White Ghost" by the league so...

Yeah, that's a great name.

If you stop feeding a Troll, it will die. Just keep away from it, they get clingy. Side note: they're really sensitive to flames and do weird things when they're burned, but that's just the Skyrim fanboy in me talking. What do I know?

I'll take your word over the guy actually writing the book, sure. Not!

Anyways, Damian as Grey Ghost sounds great.

I know what you mean, in fact I wanted him to understand both sides of his family and decide to be with neither.

I want him to be around the Assassins a bit more - they've got a lot of history that you mostly see in Jason's storyline. Though I think this series will help with that, I mean the league of Lazarus got retconned into something cooler.

We won't have to worry about Damian's identity for a long time though, but I do hope he finds his own path, I just hope DC will allow him that.

I don't know. Depends on sales.

Hahahahaha.

You have another Skyrim fan here. I liked that game a lot. Despite it was frustating not have more THALMOR story..


I know what happened between them and the Empire but.. I wanted at least force them to leave Skyrim.

Am I the only one who is extremely tired of the discussion of who Damian should become? He's too young to be Batman or to be the demon's head (which is dumb anyway. He tried turning them into a force of good in Beyond. They tried to kill him. You can use their money for good, that's it) and if there is no magical age up involved this will be the case for a long, long time. If not forever.
I think he's too young to get a new identity too. DC has already problems letting Tim turn into a young adult with his unique identity, until they have found out what they want to do with him Damian should simply be allowed to be Robin in peace for once.

Same. It's fun to speculate, but leave the characters be. If you're that eager, make a headcanon and move on.

[Blue22]

I don't think he's too young to get a new identity but I also have no problem with him continuing to be Robin. In fact, right now I kinda prefer it. I just wouldn't mind if he had decided to be someone else.

I mean, yeah, but will he be Robin forever? Compare it to Conner Kent, he didn't stay alive forever. DC replaced him with Jon for years. For now, Damian is Robin again, which is cool. But a decade down the line, he might not be. So it's fun to speculate on his identity what that time comes. He'll probably never be Batman, but he can still mature.
