A lot of folks hate Damien. He cracks me up. A brilliant idiot. Decides the Teen Titans needs to be reforged, so he comes up with a list of candidates much as his father would-knowing exactly why he wants them and what they’d bring to the team. And kidnaps them to try to force them to become the Titans. It’s absurd. Absolutely the wrong way to do something. But that’s Damien. He’ll do the right thing the wrong way EVERY time if someone doesn’t sandbag him along the way. I love how everyone gets a shot at putting him in his place. “Yes, you’re a very dangerous child. You still have limitations, and one day the universe will impress this upon you far better than we can. Good luck with that.”

I believe Duke Thomas was somewhat a Robin after Damian. He was officially named The Signal tho

The writer (Grant Morrison) who originally wrote this story in the comics actually said that he misremembered the scene of Batman between Talia. No one drugged anyone, it was actually consensual. Well consensual as how we see one of the main leads in a romance movie kiss the other lead. Also this is what Morrison said: “For a long time, [DC] said [Son of the Demon] was out of continuity. Now it's just kind of out of continuity. I didn't actually read it before I started writing this. I messed up a lot of details, like Batman wasn't drugged when he was having sex with Talia and it didn't take place in the desert. I was relying on shaky memories. But now we have this new "Superboy punch" continuity. People still don't realise how important that single punch was to cover everyone's ass.”

@uchenna ofoegbu Originaly (in the story they had sex), it was consensual, then when Damian was introduced it was accidentally changed to rape (because Morrison got some details about the orginal story wrong), and then when DC had a chance ti change it again they went back to consensual. This comes down to how DC handles continuity. For example in Marvel, generally, if an author wants something in the past changed they just have to put a "it happened like this..." in their comic and whatever retcon is newest is what "actually happened". Also they have a "shifting timeline" where (like The Simpsons) the comic is always happening "now", but the characters haven't really aged since they started, so the past is always in flux and, say, what war a character faught in in their backstory keep changing to whatever fits their age best now, and the amount of time between past events in the comic keeps getting smaller and smaller. DC on the other hand tries to have a much more "what you read happened as you read it" approach so if they want something that happened in the past to change they generally try to have the past actually get changed in universe. (This is also why DC keeps having "reboots", to keep their characters from changing too much over time.) So in this case when the sex scene happened it was consensual, but by the time the Damian story happened something in between then and now (the "Superboy punch") had caused the past to shift so Batman was drugged. Then they had to wait until the next big timeline change (Flashpoint) to change it back.

Really the only thing I dislike about these movies with Damian is that to make Damian more appealing they nerfed Nightwing hard. Like the Dick Grayson, Nightwing, the first protege to Batman, was reduced to a joke, always getting his ass handed to him against lesser villains we know he’s handled before. And all they have to excuse it is that Damian is “the blood son” so therefore he’s “better” then Dick. Nightwing is loved by many fans, so seeing him reduced to whatever they did to him in this series really took out the love I would have had got it had they actually bothered to give Dick’s character justice. Also the movies also wrote Jason and Tim out of the family completely and that’s inexcusable and a slap in the face to Jason and Tim fans too

Nighwing had so much trouble restraining Damian because he held back so as not to hurt him. Also, we just witnessed the creation of covid.

The Lazarus Pit follows different rules depending on the universe. Fun Fact: The Joker actually took a dip in the Lazarus Pit once, but instead of making him crazier, it made him temporarily sane, making him feel terrible at the things he's done.

Damian Wayne is Robin number 4. Dick Grayson came first, then he became Nightwing. Then Jason Todd came, and he became Red Hood, as you saw in "Under The Red Hood". After what happened to Jason, Batman was adamant that he wouldn't take another partner, and he started becoming a lot more brutal as a result. Dick convinced him to take on a new Robin, but the rest of the Bat Clan was adamant that what happened to Jason could never happen again. So the third Robin, Tim Drake, got put through the school of hard knocks to make sure he was as well-trained as possible. Eventually, he became Red Robin and (I think) started leading the Teen Titans. Damian Wayne eventually became the fourth Robin, and initially he was not well-liked because he was too similar to his grandfather, Ra's Al Ghul, but eventually they all came to respect him, and he also began to kind of mellow out. There's actually a famous story in the comics where Damian gets captured by one of Batman and/or the Justice League's major opponents (can't remember which one though), and Jason Todd (Red Hood) leads the Teen Titans on a rescue mission to save him. What's really cool about this rescue mission (which succeeds, by the way), is that all of the Titans, including Jason, are wearing Robin uniforms. When Damian asks why they did this, Jason tells him it's because they were honoring him, because they feel he truly is worthy of the mantle of Robin.

In the original comic books Talia and Batman had consensual sex. In fact they were in love for a time, before they retcon Son of the Demon comic book. She never rape him in the source material. Plus, Talia mostly an anti-heroine in most comic books. And she sometimes had to choose between her love for Batman or devotion toward her father.

The other thing is that, out of all the Robins that have trained under Batman, Damien is by far the most justified recruit of his "child soldiers" since he's already a killing machine and just needs to learn some strategy and morality; being family doesn't hurt either.

I like that the kept the voice actor for Damien for most of the movies he's in. Awesome reaction.

This isn't really spoilers, but it could be seen as such, so... This seems to be a version of Deathstroke/Slade that didn't get the super soldier treatment yet, but he does seem to get it in later movies and puts up way more of a fight! Fairly certain they mention "enhancements" in a later movie...

“I love Alfred” Who doesn’t. He’s freaking awesome 🔥

There’s no way that little Damian would ever beat Slade

I love this universe so much, no matter if someone hate it, I just love it. Also my favorite dc character is Nightwing and Flash. My favorite villain is Harley Quinn.

BRO FINALLY IVE BEEN WANTING U TO REACT TO THIS FOR EVER

The Lazarus Pit usually break the mind of the one using it.

In the comic, when Talia asks if Bruce fondly remembers their night together, Batman responds with something along the lines of, “What I remember is being drugged.” At no point do I remember him saying that it “wasn’t all bad”; that seems to have been something that the film added. He made it VERY clear in the comic that he was not okay with what she’d done.
