Normally, Dick Grayson gets all of the credit for being a good big brother to Damian. And he is. He’s supportive and caring; a good role model. But he’s lacking on one crucial aspect of siblinghood.

Torturing.

That’s right. Those of us with younger siblings know that it is our inherent right to torture the them. Because we love them. It’s character building.

Through Jason, Damian has been able to experience a sibling relationship.

It started almost immediately upon Jason’s reconciliation with his family in the N52’s Batman Inc.

Maybe the two got off on the wrong foot. (Shooting a guy in chest has a tendency to do that.)

But Jason truly cares about him. After the events of Death of the Family, he reached out to Damian before rejoining the Outlaws.

He was willing to go to Apokolips to rescue Damian’s body from Darkseid.

After that, he continued fulfilling is duties as elder brother.

This is still one of my favorite exchanges. It made me fall in love with these boys. A true brother relationship couldn’t have been shown better.

Damian has responded to Jason’s efforts. They’ve bonded over common interests.

And even sided with each other during familial disagreements.
