Damian is my favourite Robin. A lot of ppl write him off as a ‘whiny brat’ but don’t realise he has more depth and development compared to most Robins, while bringing a fresh dynamic to the Batfamily.

[jeremybracero]

Batman- I have a half a mind to report you for Grandtheft auto.
Damien- I’d like to hear you make that call “hello Police my son stole the Batmobile”

[icetray]

Batman: Let’s go home Damian.
Damian: I’ll drive.
Batman: No.
Damian: I know how.
Batman: *NO!!!!*

[sugarblood]

The comments: Damian's a brat but I like him?
Me: *nods in character development*

[FrostTheHobidon]

I blame Talia Al Ghul and Ra’s Al Ghul for Damian’s rudeness.

Talia: I raise our son and kept him a secret from you for a long time and train him to be a killer, and show no mercy or compassion to others, so I leave him under your care Bruce

Batman: ...damn it Talia

[teaj]

In my opinion, damian is much more than his arrogance and hard shell. He is compassionate, loving, caring and willing to make a change. That is what actually makes a hero. You just have to keep looking into the character

[ZerWrld]

Alot of people hate Damian because he's a self entitled brat, but everyone forgets that he was raised by assassins to be a ruthless weapon and he is Bruce Wayne's son and remember, Bruce isn't that much of a likeable person

[JayKayEllEmm]

I’m a simple man. I see a history of Robin episode, I click immediately.

[angelmorales]

He killed, he met daddy, he got tamed, he died, he got stolen, he got stolen again, he got resurected, he got powers, he lost said powers and then



He turned 13

[cmgvillager]

I know he’s not a fan favorite but he has a lot of potential to be a fan favorite, really like his dynamic with Jonathan Kent!

[m.y]

Damian being Bruce's actual son makes him special, like really special.

[blbproductions]

Damian Wayne is such a hard person to fully explain/understand, and Variant did it perfectly.

I've seen enough, I'm satisfied. *Clicks like*

[chienvu]

Which makes Damian so interesting is he basically a mini version of Batman. The writers can apply any crazy Batman's idea to Damian that cannot do the same with Batman because he is DC's face. And I love it.

[Gixntmxn]

I’ve always liked Damian he was different compared to all the Robin’s being a killer and all that’s what I liked about him.

[alexandersmith]

Damian is by far my favorite robin, and tbh, he’s the only person I can see as being Batman. Dick made a name for himself as Nightwing, so being Batman would be redundant, Tim and Jason always end up being murderous and evil as Batman, and Terry doesn’t work in the main DC universe. Damian, on the other hand, has grown from being the bratty abused child (yes, he was abused, people often forget that, for some reason) to a caring person, and he’s been training all his life to earn the cowl.

[brucewayne]

I wasn't sure what to think of Damian when he was first introduced but Morrison and Tomasi's characterisation quickly turned him into one of my favourites.

[rozyrando]

Honestly, I see myself in Damian since he's struggling to change for himself in spite of the expectations everyone around him has. His father wants him to be like Dick Grayson and his mother and grandfather want him to be a cold-hearted assassin. The war inside himself is super realistic and relatable to a lot of people.

[doublenature]

I adore Damian he is 100% my favorite Robin, no questions asked ❤️❤️❤️

[benmwaba]

It's like a prerequisite to being a superhero is having dead parents or having a complex relationship with them.

[vincentwilcox]

I used to hate Damian Wayne as I thought he was a whiny brat, but recently I’ve liked him a lot more as I see that he shares the most personality traits with Bruce. Damian will make a great batman in my mind.
