Nightwing vs. Robin in the Batcave

Nightwing babysits Robin for Batman.
Clip from the DC animated film, "Batman vs. Robin."

"Based on what I'm seeing, I was the only Robin." Kay nice to know the other two didn't count.

Damian: "You're just some sad orphan he took pity on"
/whisper-yell: _What a biiitch_

[Raydnt]

Im pretty sure Damiens just jealous of Dick.
Thats why he keeps asserting himself as blood, to make himself feel better.
He cant stand the fact that Dick was the first robin and that Bruce probably sees Dick more as a son then Damien.

[ElladanKenet]

So I guess Damian didn't get the memo where Bruce adopted Dick. Legally, they're brothers.

The fact that Nightwing's face reflection fits nearly perfectly into his own Robin costume at 1:38 is great.

Every time Damian mentions how he's the real son or the fact that Dick's from the circus and is an orphan kills me inside because I can tell it's doing the same to him. Dick was always my favorite.

Dick: Based on what I'm seeing I was the ONLY Robin

Jason and Tim: 😰

[troyterry]

Don't freak out guys, Damian only won because he caught Dick off guard with the "Orphan" line.

[StormSage]

Damian may be Bruce's biological son, but Dick is the prodigal son and the only one worthy of inheriting the mantle.

[jiado]

At some point, Bruce (or someone else) should have said quite plainly to Damian "Dick Grayson IS the son of Batman."

[glenntabar]

the biological son of Batman is Damian but the real son of Batman is Dick Grayson aka Nightwing.

Many people don't get the point of Damian's final statement. He did EXACTLY what Batman would have done in a similar situation. Dick is bigger, stronger and probably faster than Damian. Not to mention that despite Damian's training Dick has FAR more actual combat experience than Damian does. He's the better fighter and probably always will be. This is clearly shown when earlier in the movie he defeats Damian without really harming him (so we know he was holding back) while Damian was actively trying to kill him. He's LEAGUES above that annoying little shit.

What makes Damian stand out is that he recognizes this, abeit begrudgingly. He boasts about his ''superior'' training, then gets his ass kicked for a second time by the guy he called a ''circus clown'' and who's had his father's love and appreciation from before he was even born. And he's not stupid, he knows his father mostly sees him as a nuisance at this point. However, he swallows his pride after being bested and goes for mind games instead, trying to find an opening and it works. Something Batman is FAMOUS for doing and one of the reasons he's such a badass. He dosen't have to defeat you because he puts you into a position where you do it yourself. And it's not like it's unrealistic that Dick would fall for it, since he's been known for letting his emotions get the better of him from time to time. That's one of the main things that make him different from Batman. Of course, if Dick was in a similar situation he would have done the same, he's done so multiple times. This scene isn’t perfect though, as Damian’s insults are pretty simple and forward and someone without as much pent up emotions as Dick wouldn’t have fallen for it; Tim for example, would have seen right through Damian the second he opened his mouth. It’s a shame that they had to choose Nightwing of all people for Damian to show his growth over.

Damien: I don't need a lesson from some circus clown, my grandfather taught me everything I need to know about personal combat.
Nightwing: Well I was trained by Bruce Wayne, and everytime they met he kicked Ra's al Ghul's ass.
Ohhh. Get some ice for that burn.

Is it too much to ask for the brotherly love moments they had in the comics?

[lukelemmons]

1:30 Mrs. Hogenson from The Incredibles "NO

[ladydruyear]

I'm sorry but when Grayson flips that cape over Damian's head at 1:30-1:32 and his fist fly it's pure big brother little brother gold.lol

[thespash]

Nightwing always takes the L in these movies

[jemersonhanna]

Those kicks that Nightwing gave Damian should have put him out for good, this is the only problem with this movie DAMIAN is too OP I swear he on some Uchiha level shit.

Took seven years for the comments to be available but here we are

"Based on what I'm seeing I was the ONLY Robin" Wasn't that kinda an insult to Jason as well as Damian?
