Since I'm not gonna be able to post any art for a while, how about I just bring out my thoughts until then?
I have not been in the DC fandom for long, and most of my focus has only been on the Robins (I have a bias, don't judge me)
And one of the things that I see in the fandom is the debate on whether Damian should grow up to be:
A. Tall and muscular as Bruce and take up the Batman mantle.
Or B. Short like Talia with a muscular build a bit closer to Dick's and make up his own identity.
(don't get me wrong Talia is really tall, but in male standards Damian would be pretty short)
I can see why some would prefer option B, considering Damian is less of a heavy hitter like Bruce and more quick and swift like Talia, so he would need to be lighter for that.
But, and hear me out. What if he grew to be tall like Bruce, but kept his physique to be closer to Dick's?
Dick himself is pretty tall (5'10, to be precise) and has kept his physique to be lighter and nimble to do all of his acrobatic stunts. So if Dick could do that, why not Damian even if he's a bit taller?
And I do agree on him making up his own identity. That would be more interesting and he can build up his own reputation instead of just taking Batman's.
So how have I not seen that as option C yet. Somebody make this a thing, I want it to be more popular.
