I wonder the same. I think Damian will not be affected directly because that "event" (or whatever DC wants it to be) will happen in Action Comics and I do not think Damian will appear in it. If he does not appear I think he would be affected indirectly because his mother will appear in this "event", it would be something like Ric's current situation. We know that Damian knows but does not talk about it. But if on the other hand, that "event" of Leviathan is an individual series, then I do believe that Damian (even Jason) could appear.
DC has been trying to have Robin solo for decades now not that I don't miss the days of B&R. I don't know how Damian would fit in King's story though since it was about Bats shacking up, romance and been isolated. Difficult to have Selina walking on tiptoes, bending over things or sneaking out with a 13 year old in the room.
That's why we have hints of Damian living there but not shown or having other titles like DCNTSC, supersons or Nightwing show the panels of damian at home or Damian, Bruce and Selina.
That's why others like Cass, Duke [till he moved], GG are never shown yet they also live at the Manor. From a narrative pov it adds awkwardness.
Imagine Selina sneaking out to purchase her wedding dress or The Posion Ivy arc. Those don't work if you factor in other heroes in the house.
That's how I rationalise it [to myself] anyway.
We dont know what it is yet, other than the fact that Tony Daniel will draw it and King will write it. It would be awesome if Dick and Damian become Batman & Robin again but not holding my breath.
As for Leviathan, yeah Bendis needs to stay as far as possible from Damian.
Batdad picking up slightly dated phrases from Damian. Flash#64

I don't believe DC kids [if they did then the DC world be just grown ups] it's just that in a lot of stories Batman is a shit parent. King's Batman is especially bad since they implication is that none of his kids, friends, Alfred have ever given him reason to be happy. He is a dude who isn't a hero by choice like his Robins but one who does it just cos he is sad an self medicating.
At the same time however we have a ton of other DC writers portraying him as a caring father. It's a matter of balance. I don't think Damian should be a constant in trhe Batman if the writer is doing something that doesn't work with family in it but I do think that Tec should have Damian. Damian isn't just Robin he is Batman's kid so sidekick or not he is a part of his life,
It's some writers that ignores not DC. Williamson remembered Bruce was a dad even in the Flash title.
