Time will tell, but one thing is for sure: Damian Wayne is unlike any other Robin we've seen in live action.

DC Slate Unveiled: New Batman, Supergirl Movies, a Green Lantern TV Show, and More from James Gunn, Peter Safran". The Hollywood Reporter. January 31, 2023.A fairly underwhelming collection of three graphic novels originally published in the late 80s/early 90s that comprise the "Demon Trilogy," a trio of stories about Ra's Al Ghul that have essentially nothing to do with each other. As far as I can tell, the only thing that unifies these stories is the existence of Ra's Al Ghul and the word "Demon" appearing in all three titles. First up is "Son of the Demon," a James-Bond-style globetrotting adventure that sees Batman sneaking into military bases and trying to thwart a global catastrophe caused by weather satellites, all while teaming up with Ra's and entering a love affair with his daughter, Talia. There's not much to latch onto in this one. The plot blasts forward so fast that there's no time to really live in any of its moments, and the whole Talia thing doesn't feel earned in the slightest. The dialogue is heavily lame, the action is derivative, and the plot is bananas. The only real reason to read this is if you're a huge fan of Grant Morrison's Batman and Son, to which this serves as a prequel. I don't think you actually need to read it to understand Batman and Son, though, so I'd really say to just skip this. You fell in love with the Detective that day, of course. How could you not? He was the optimum man... You and your detective will yield the ultimate child. A dark king for a new age." —Ra's to Talia. Near the end of the comic. Morrison, Grant. Batman, Incorporated Vol.2 #2. DC Comics, Inc., 2012 Damian Wayne was supposed to make his debut in the Batman: Arkham series as the lead character in a post– Batman: Arkham Knight game by WB Montreal, but the project was cancelled. [114] [115] Damian Wayne appears in Infinite Crisis, voiced by James Arnold Taylor. Damian Wayne is the equivalent of Robin from the "Nightmare" universe, and appears as one of the available "champions".

Grant Morrison's story titled Batman and Son (2006) expands upon the Son of the Demon storyline as part of a remodeling of Batman's personality after the events of Infinite Crisis. In Morrison's version, the child Damian Wayne is the result of a tryst between Batman and Talia, during which the Dark Knight claims he was drugged when they were at the Tropic of Cancer, though Morrison later admitted the claim of drugging was a canonical error on their part. Since then however in issues of the Morrison penned Batman Incorporated, the drugging is reaffirmed and is once again part of Damian's origin. [25] However, Batman and Talia's tryst was later shown as consensual in Peter J. Tomasi's Batman and Robin, thus the circumstances of Damian's conception can vary depending on the writers. [26] [27] Damian Wayne appears in the Lego films Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League: Gotham City Breakout, Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis and Lego DC Batman: Family Matters, voiced by Scott Menville.Ra's al Ghul's origin told for the first time. It is OK. This is supposed to be a sequel to Son of the Demon but O'Neil completely ignores the story of Talia's mother from that, changing who she was for no good reason. Just something I thought was odd. After Damian's father, Bruce's apparent death, Damian falls in with the Teen Titans and acts as the leader for the group. He also befriends Superman's son, Jonathan Kent/Superboy and form the Super Sons together. Damian also comes into conflict with his grandfather and cousin, Mara al Ghul. After his father proposes to Catwoman, he gradually accepts Batman's romance with his mother is over. Ra's Al Ghul is resurrected. Terrorists seize the Gotham Chemical Plant. The Gotham City Police Department surrounds the plant. The insurgents delay negotiating for the hostages, while they complete their actual mission. Commissioner James Gordon signals for the Batman. Just as one of the insurgents is about to defile a pregnant hostage, the Batman storms the plant. After a tense confrontation, the Batman subdues the insurgents, and rescues the hostages, though not without taking a bullet to his abdomen. The Batman leaves the interrogation of the prisoners to Gordon. En route home, the Batman succumbs to his injury.
