Is there a single of piece of media where Damian Wayne is likeable?
- Thread starter Bor Gullet
- Start date
He ended up acting as expected when he finally met her before the whole New 52 stuff though. They only got a few pages worth of interactions, unfortunately. One of which I have as a very nice print. :3
To keep him from killing people...since he was raised by assassins
Batman vs TMNT. Right balance between hypercompetent assassin-like Robin and self-important comedic relief, who genuinely cares for his father. When they split into teams he gets paired up with Raph, playing off each other's hotheadedness.
...Though he's likeable in most media. Super Sons is great, as mentioned.

I'm here to say that I like Damian especially when he is around Dick. His relationship with animals, Dick, Alfred, Jon, and Bruce are all pretty interesting.
Damian is a fantastic character in the right hands. Morrison provided all the reasons why and the ingredients to do so but many writers beside the one's people above have really understoos the character.
Batman 666 version is awesome
Dick and Damian duo while Batman was oating through space and time. Amazing. Watching their relationship grow was just a good time. The interplay perfect.
Damian and Alfred's deep friendship and respect for each other was great.
Damian in Supersons is awesome.
Damian is a lot like Quentin Quire the x-man (another Morrison creation) who is awesome in the right writer's hands and grating/annoying in another's.

Dude who fucks around alot ends up with a kid after 70 years of continuous stories. Real fucking wild shit, right there.
I don't understand the hatred towards Damian.
Damn I cannot seem to bend my hands that way
That's definitely true. "Batman's son" Damian is kind of boring, but "the baby brother" Damian is a lot of fun when they do it right. He and Selina had a good dynamic too, from that brief period.
Honestly I feel like he pairs well with everyone BUT Batman.
I really need to read the Dick Batman run, the jokes about Damien writing him all sad and whatnot still crack me up.
Is he the Robin in Batman vs the TMNT? Because he's not bad there, and whatever that schtick was fit the story they were telling, as a foil to Mikey.
he was great in Morrison's run. his relationship with Dick is one of the highlights of it and is hands down my favorite Batman run
if you want the unlikable character, modern Jason Todd is right there

Batman is 1000000x better when they aren't taking it seriously (except for TAS, that's perfect the way it is).

It was Era that kept telling me how amazing this character is. What are those crayon drawings and notes from Damian that people kept posting on this forum?
I will say, I really didn't like the plotline about Damian accidentally killing Dick. But that was one of the very few things I disliked.
Maybe I'm so used to DC characters being mishandled from the recent DCEU and animated movies that Injustice felt incredible by comparison? I don't think so though, I really loved my time with that universe.
Might be the first time I've ever seen this take, wow. I read the comics and played the games by virtue of everyone telling me how well it handled DC characters and how amazing the stories are.

Damian, just like his father, works really well when he has a less serious character to bounce off of. So yeah my favorite Damian is definitely Super Sons and the Dick/Damian stuff.
Just like I enjoy reading Batman stories where he works with Supes or Dick.
I really enjoyed the comic by Tom Taylor aka Tom King, but yeah, it really sucks what they did with Nightwing.. even if it pays of later.

Remember how Daimian accidentally killed Dick in Injustice?

Yeah I agree.
I binged all the "DC New 52" movies when that thread popped up and comments were telling us that the final movie is amazing/just as good as/better than Endgame. It did not meet any of those expectations but I did enjoy some parts of it. The one thing that works in all of them is Damian's. He's an insufferable little shit in his first two movies but gradually feels like a full character toward the end.
He was pretty cool in that last DC animated movie, the Darkseid one. He was still a prick in ways but was reasonable, kind of like an early twenty something Batman if he lacked the guidance and support from Alfred and Commissioner Gordon or the love and support of Dick.
yeah i really like damian as a foil to dick. he was still very prickly, but in a likeable way
he was also good whenever he appeared in red robin from what i remember
Use the fingers on your cheek to push your hands into position. It helps of you sing the 60's batman tune.
Because his mum is Talia al Ghul and Batman didn't know about him while he was being raised/trained.
my next question was going to be "and who's his mom" so 2 birds 1 stone and whatnot, cheers.
So Batman got freaky with Talia, Catwoman...any more supervillains in his list of Exs?
In Grant Morrison's run (this is a big spoiler, if you were ever going to read it)
his civilian love interest turned out to be a mole for the bad guys
not sure that counts. I was expecting Poison Ivy or something lol.
If Ivy hooked up with anyone other than Harley Quinn, DC comics would be ablaze the next day.
He's competent to a degree that isn't logical. It doesn't "make sense" in the real world, but Damian's a character that can and has beaten entire groups of fully grown adults with no problems. Having him fight crime isn't any less silly than anyone else doing it.
....Except in Harley Quinn, where he's ineffective as shit. Then it's totally fucked.
