Damien hates Talia. Damien hates Bruce. Talia hates Damien. Bruce hates Damien. Shut up all of you! How dare you?! These three are ready to die for each other.
Their relationship is complicated, but hate?! Never!
Part of Damien is that he's loved by two different worlds, and this love is what makes him who he is. At the same time, this love scares him terribly because what if he lets them down? What if it's not enough?
What if their love isn't enough? What if Damien isn't enough?
Also the fandom needs to stop reducing Talia's character to just being a mother! Please, being a mother is part of her personality, but not her entire personality. Please make her a complex character with many layers.
This ☝️☝️☝️
I love my dysfunctional family.
Damian is the type of person that, whenever Bruce arranges a family dinner out in a restaurant, he'll make sure to be the first person to thank his father for taking them out to dinner, just so he can watch his siblings scramble around to say the same because they forgot to thank him.
And then he'll give each of his siblings a mockingly disappointed look just for the fucks of it.
Headcanon that,
Since replacing a whole spine is a very risky surgery, instead the doctors create a metal spine that wraps around Damian's damaged one.
But because of that, parts of the metal spine sticks out of Damian's skin at the back.
How do you think that being born a girl would have altered Damian's character? Like would he (or she technically??) have been as arrogant and short tempered, how would his time at the league have changed, would he have still been heir? What about his relationship with the bats? Sorry, this was probably a weird question.
Hello, that's an interesting question!
I honestly don't think him being the heir situation would get impacted by his gender. So he could've still been an heir after Talia (if she wanted to) seeing that apart from Dusan, there aren't a potential male heir.
But, I do think that Damian, as a girl, would experience far more sexism by his trainers and would've been expected to be more perfect than he already is. I think that would give Damian a negative light towards male fighters in general and he'd be even more cutting with his insults towards them and definitely less tolerable at their sexist actions.
I think the Bats would've been a little softer to Damian at first, but because of his trauma from especially the male figures in his life, he'd treat most of the fam a lot worse than compared to his first arrival at Gotham.
Fandom wise, if Damian had been a girl, he'd be hated even more and a lot of people in the fandom would want him to die. Because we all know female characters always gets a thousand times more hate compared to a male character.
Anyway, that's what I think!

Let's talk about how some of y'alls misinterpretation and fanonization of Damian's character is because of the fact that, in your heads, he's still stuck in his 'newly arrived at Gotham' mindset when, in fact, he has had one of the best character growths in DC and has so many meaningful and fun relationships with fellow heroes.
'Damian doesn't think of his siblings as his actual brothers because he isn't blood related to them'
Loud and incorrect! Even back in the League, he literally referred to his fellow assassins as his brothers.
'Bruce doesn't trust Damian to be his Robin.'
Wrong again! Bruce literally had a mental breakdown when Damian told him that he'd quit Robin so that he could volunteer more at a hospital.
'Damian hates Talia.'
Where did this even come from? They both love each other probably more than they love anyone else. Plus, Talia has been the only family member in Damian's life that has constantly loved him from the start, instead of trying to 'fix' or judge him because of his flaws.
Damian isn't a 10 year old boy anymore, he's a teenager who suffers from severe childhood abuse and trauma. Just because he isn't your 'perfect' victim, doesn't mean you can invalidate his struggles and growth.
And I think the way some of you keep holding him in his 10 year old pre-growth self in your own fanon worlds is a very intentional way to uplift your other favorite characters...
By the way, one canon thing about Damian Wayne that I will always disregard and pretend not to have happened is his age being artifically accelerated in the League so that he could grow up faster.
Like, nope, that did not happen, he grew up like any normal 10 year old, but thank you for the suggestion DC 🥰
I'm curious: do you have an AU where Damian takes up a different superhero name? What might that name be—outside of him becoming Batman, staying as Robin, or even becoming a doctor? I'm mostly curious about the name?
Hey there!
So, in most of my canon compliant AUs, Damian ends up temporarily using the mantle 'Heretic' when he's about 16-17. It's a phase where he's trying to come to terms with his past and, in a way, reclaim the trauma. His family really doesn't like the choice of name, but they keep quiet most of the time.
When he's an adult, I don't like the idea of him taking over someone else's mantle (like Nightwing or Batman) because I want him to settle down as his own hero.
I really like the name Khaos for him as an adult vigilante, inspired by the Ancient Greek mythology, just like his name. A force of nature that can't be stopped, just like he is.
But in my Reverse Robins fics, he fully ends up as the Heretic as a symbolism for him abandoning both his mother's and father's ideals to create his own path.
It really icks me out that whenever Damian's ties to the Al-Ghuls are explored within the fandom, it's always under a negative light where every single complex character of his family is erased and turned into a cartoon villain for him to separate himself from, so that he could be saved by his 'white' family.
But when another batkid's relationship with the Al-Ghuls are a discussed, it suddenly becomes a very complex thought out topic, going as far as creating non-existent relationships with the Al-Ghul and the other batkid that coincidentally does not happen to exist between Damian and that Al-Ghul in their little fanon world.
Ra's Al-Ghul is Damian's grandfather, and he is a centuries old assassin who used to be a healer, and then became the leader of the biggest assassin organization.
So, no, Ra's isn't obsessed with a white boy.
Talia Al-Ghul is Damian's mother and has always loved him, perhaps even more than anyone has ever loved and cared for Damian. She is a person who has been stuck between two worlds and decided to choose her own path. She has a certain tie to the Lazarus Pits that no other has.
So again, no, Talia doesn't like or care for that white boy more than she does her own son.
It's kind of evident how some people purposefully simple down the Al-Ghul's (including Damian) characters and their canonical complexities just to make their own favorite character more interesting and more 'badass'.
But the thing is, being the villain doesn't automatically mean they're 'bad' characters. In fact, I can argue that most Al-Ghuls are even more interesting than some of the heroes in DC.
What's more maddening to witness, as a Damian fan, is people literally taking certain things that happened to him and give it to another batkid while completely disregarding Damian's canonical personality and traits, reducing him into a spoiled child that does nothing but threaten to maim people all day. Meanwhile the other batkid is suffering from a trauma caused by the 'Al-Ghuls' or the 'League of Assassins' that never actually happened to them in the canon.
Damian was the one trained under the League of Assassins from birth.
Damian was the one able to take down assassins three times his size while at the same time getting taught advanced sciences.
Damian is the one who was so smart as a child that he could be able to get a PhD in certain topics.
Damian was the one going on numerous missions for the League of Assassins as a child.
Damian was the one affected and traumatized by the pressure and abuse of his childhood.
Damian was the one objectified as a 'vessel'.
Damian was the one who had a lab full of cloned inner organs for him to use whenever he got fatally injured.
Damian was the one stuck in between two legacies.
Damian was the one who constantly sacrificed himself to save the people he loved.
Damian was the one who suffered from self-worth issues so severely to the point of being suicidal.
Damian was the one who constantly witnessed his guardian/parental figures dying. (Bruce, Ra's, Alfred, Dr. Bashar)
Damian was the one constantly stalked and attacked by assassins after coming to Gotham.
Damian was the one able to empathize with the villains when other people couldn't.
And I'm sick of these facts being erased and given to another person.
100% this.
You will never catch me saying DC is doing the al Ghul's justice, but oh god does fanon nonsense make me want to defend them in some aspects.
The Jason and Tim stories with the al Ghul's are from the 2000s (and they aren't good *cough cough*). Ever since DC decided to revive Damian neither Ra's nor Talia have given a fuck about a Robin that wasn't Damian. Which makes sense because Damian is what Ra's and Talia wanted (Ra's because of his obsession with having Bruce be his heir, Talia because she simply truly loves Bruce).
I'm not an expert on the topic and I am a white european, so I obviously can't grasp the full extent of racism on all aspects of life, but one thing that is very prevalent in western stories about both asians and arabs (and the al Ghul's are both...double the opportunity to use racist stereotypes) is how they basically can't make up their mind about them. Oh, they are barbaric. But they also have cool skills and being praised by them makes me better than others. They are beneath me. But their fighting skills are making me superior to anyone else. The women are supressed and have no rights, but are also extremely openly sexual and unashamed towards the white male lead.
Sorry, lost focus for a second and started rambling. Anyway, yeah it really bothers me when people take things from Damian's backstory to "spice up" their boring white boy while hating or ignoring Damian. Like, if you find all of these things so interesting, why aren't you simply reading Damian's stories?

You know I keep seeing people mention that they headcanon that Damian drops out of vigilantism as an adult to become a doctor, and in every post I see about it, just about everyone can't help but to cheekily toss out the phrase "like his grandfather- no the other one" as if Ra's Al Ghul doesn't have more than one canonical origin story as the historical equivalent of a doctor.
Like in the origin story I know best for him, Ra's first wife died because a king demanded he cure/heal his dying son, and Ra's attempted to heal the prince using the Lazarus Pit he was studying, and the prince went crazy and murdered Ra's wife and then locked Ra's in a cell with her body for days after blaming Ra's for the murder.
There are comic runs where Ra's is specifically stated to have discovered germ theory hundreds of years before it was theorized in the real world, like the man was The doctor before he was radicalized.
Damian growing up to quit vigilantism to become a doctor is interesting not because it makes him more similar to Thomas Wayne, it's interesting because it would put his character arc as going in the exact opposite direction to Ra's Al Ghul's arc.
Ra's Al Ghul was a healer, who wanted to help people, who was then radicalized into thinking violence is okay as long as it's against bad people, then radicalized further into thinking a majority of people were bad/stupid (when he got really into environmentalism in general, and started to think human's and their pollution was the greatest threat to earth), then developed a god complex believing he has the right to decide who lives or dies (full blown league of assassins, influencing the world order stuff) and also had the right/responsibility to live forever to ensure he could dole out said judgement.
A good if flawed man, wanting to help people, becomes radicalized and eventually becomes convinced he's a god and has the right to act like a god.
While Damian's is the exact opposite. He's born and raised with the idea that because of his blood he has a right to judge who should live or die, based upon his personal morals. Then he finds out his bloodline doesn't give him the right to decide that sort of thing. So Damian ending his arc by way of fully walking away from violence to become a doctor, Hippocratic oath of Do No Harm and all, would be fitting.
A child raised to think he was a god, is brought down to reality, and grows to learn he's just a man, and has no right to make the judgment that someone lives or dies.
That's the interesting part about the possibility of Damian deciding to stop being a vigilante and instead become a doctor. Especially because he's originally raised to be an assassin.
When I say Damian&Tim brotherism,
I don't mean:
"Damian idolizes Tim and thinks he's the coolest person in the whole world and will do anything to make Tim forgive him for attempting to kill him."
What I actually mean:
"They will regularly hang out, but do it in private. So every person in the family still thinks they're beefing with each other and that they hate the other, but in actuality, they have been cool with each other's presence for years now. The insulting is just how they show affection. They will call each other using insults instead of their actual names. Damian is the 'pint-sized bastard' while Tim is the 'dramatic-asshole'."
When they ask me what the best trope for a batfam fic is and I hit them with—
another idea: damian somehow getting sent back in time and space and getting to see how happy talia and bruce were when talia found out she was pregnant. how much joy he brought, how much joy he was supposed to bring, how much joy he was supposed to know.

Imagine being the Robin who grew up within the League of Assassins as its heir, have genius level intellect and was able to take on adult assassins twice your size when you were 7-8 years old, are able to do magic, have a bat-dragon companion, went on secret missions to other planets with your best friend when you two weren't even teenagers yet, managed to kidnap and put a bunch of supervillains (including Deathstroke) in your secret underground prison, went on a death tournament and fell in love with the girl who killed you, skipped high-school just to volunteer at a hospital, went undercover to a prison and beat up guards to protect the kids in there before letting yourself be experimented on by the warden so that they wouldn't hurt the other kids, died five times and came back, went to hell 2 times, role-played as Deathstroke's son for no fucking reason and ragebaited him the whole time, got possessed by the devil, tricked and killed the assassin Nobody, almost killed Bane, shot Black Mask in the head after taking out all of his goons because he blew your favorite restaurant, can move his organs etc. etc.
Yet, despite all that, your characterization in the fandom is just "Unhand me you heathen!"
Free Damian Wayne y'all...
Damian is the type of person that will be randomly 'attacked' by an assassin in the middle of the day, and while everyone is ready to save Damian, he will stop them and explain that this random assassin is actually his very close friend that he met after they tried to kill each other that one time.
