Batman & Robin #1 Discussion/Spoilers

[Digifiend]

I thought Bruce would re-enroll Damian in Gotham Academy, knowing Williamson is a fan, but I guess he already got expelled from there and maybe dealing with more "normal" kids will be good for him.

Has he already aged out of Gotham Academy, rather than being expelled? He's 15 now, and GA seems to be a junior high or even elementary school, based on how old Maps is.

I always thought it was a high school...or, like, a full comprehensive all years thing.

He's 14.

Good issue, Bruce and Damian's interactions are cute.

Glad to see Bruce getting along with at least one of his boys.

Damian is 14. I know you like to count real time but if it's not said in the comics then it's not accurate. Olive is 16 so Gotham Academy is still viable nut Damian was expelled the last time.

How do you say it with such authority? Did I miss something?

[Digifiend]

Hasn't Williamson said Damian is 15 in B&R?

Has he? I'm not sure.Idon't want Damian getting older. The more he does the more he approaches the big clogging spot. YJ Generation age range. Where does he go from there.

No he’s 14 but if the story takes him to summer vacation that will indicate a year has passed.
A reason character don’t go to school is because it makes time moove


Random thought but Damian hair style change may be due to the return of his half brother

The world cannot stop revolving and evolving just because of Peter Pan and the lost boys

Wasn't Damian going the same school as Jon in Super Sons?

Writers need to make up their minds.

I don't see the problem. Bruce only sent Damian to the school in Metropolis because he wanted Damian to become friends with Jon. But now Jon isn't going to school anymore and Alfred isn't there anymore to fly Damian to school with a helicopter (plus it would be too expensive).
So he's sending Damian to a high school in Gotham. You guys are seeing problems where there are none.

I mean Damian was in that school with the girl that looks like Carrie Kelly,
Died
then he was in Gotham Academy for a while
Rebirth happened
and then he was in school with Jon
Book canned and Alfred dies
Now he's back in another school? Just leave him as a home schooled genius at this point.

No idea what you are referring to with the first sentence.
Damian was home schooled by Alfred (who is dead and didn't know what to teach him anymore) and he was in Gotham Academy for like a week to spy for Bruce.
It's not about education, it's about Damian being around kids his age and upholding his civilian persona.

Generally, Bruce send Damian to school to improve his socialization skill not for education purposes.

In Tomasi's Batman & Robin, Damian was being tutored by a version of Carrie Kelley (for reasons I'll never understand). I think she was teaching him outside of school, though, as she was much older than him.
