The Damian Wayne Appreciation

[oasis1313]

He looks a lot like dick

I thought it WAS Dick. I like Damian being a bratty 10-11 year old (he's at the Woman-Hating stage, so no girlfriends yet) OR I want an ongoing Batman 666 with Damian as the Ultimate Bas-Ass Batman.

So, DC Collectibles announced their 2016 line-up and among them there's a new Batman: Black & White Statue featuring Robin by Frank Quitely. I assume there's a big chance that might be Damian Wayne, makes me wish I had bought the Batman statue by Quitely to go with it...

I just got into Batman comics, having amassed and read about 20+ batman trades over the last month. A large chunk of what I read was Morrisons 6 year run on batman. My favorite aspect of this run was seeing Damian grow. If I had to name my favorite supporting hero from batman mythos it would easily be Damian Wayne.

Loving Damian's portrayal here

Really hoping this means a new Teen Titans series led by Damian for Rebirth, I always love him interacting with other heroes.

And hey, turns out the Black and White statue is actually Damian! So happy about this one!

I meant as advertisement for the character
I just wish we could see him accepting Dick as a brother more

Note that Damian is 12 now in the most recent film

Where does it say he's 12? In the comics he's 11, according to Patrick Gleason.

I said the films

But I'm asking if that's ever been stated directly in the films. I'm assuming you're referring to the line in Bad Blood where Talia says she has thought about Bruce for the last 12 years, but don't forget that would include the 9 months Damian would have been in gestation in the artificial womb, so 11 would be more likely still.

[Darkspellmaster]

So they're aging him a bit more in the movies/new animated universe, I'm betting it's probably because Stuart Allen his voice actor is growing up so they need to advance his character so that he's not sounding too old for being 10 years old anymore.

So he's 11 now, well at least we're going up there in age. Slowly.

I think you mean Son of BatGod vs Superman.

Penned by Grant Morrison


So I just finished reading all 3 volumes of Batman Inc. I really, really enjoyed this tale, but I can't help but feel that Morrison went too far with his murder of Damian (his own character) and the way he vilified Talia. More extreme than I would've liked to see.

[Stormcrow]

Sadly, there was no Robin title announced for DC's Rebirth line... I can only hope the rumors of Damian joining the Teen Titans are true (and judging by the upcoming Justice League vs Teen Titans movie, it seems very likely) and that Patrick Gleason remains attached to the character in any capacity.

[joybeans]

I wonder how Gleason would handle a Teen Titans book.

[Berry]

My crazy guess is he might be in Super Sons?
But wherever Damian is, I hope Gleason follows.

[jules]

I wonder how Gleason would handle a Teen Titans book.

Based on how he's done with Robin:SOB, I'd certainly like to see it.

It also occurs to me that with the writer change on Batman, and that title going twice-monthly, the incoming writer may well want to include him as a supporting character for Bruce in a way that Snyder didn't feel able to. All those extra pages probably lend themselves to an expansion in the Batman title cast that in recent years has been directed to the weeklies, which aren't going to be there any more. If so, that might also factor into why he doesn't have a solo title this time around.
