i miss them a lot... (trying to draw again after my 1 month hiatus)

w/ "redraw" comparison-- i actually remember sitting down to draw the 2016 one... it was a "thank you tribute" to Pat Gleason towards the end of the R:SoB run and the guy was nice enough to acknowledge my cringe teenage art LMAOOOOOOO

So I was told to read Robin: Son of Batman and while I understand that it’s almost a decade old at this point, look at this child.

I’m sorry, I know I’m late to this run, but how do you see this literal child who was manipulated and groomed his entire childhood and not immediately go, “Give him a blanket, mug of hot cocoa and a Grey Ghost a marathon,”. He just wants to be good enough for others and hates himself so much.

re-read Robin: Son of Batman last night just to feel something

DC give them back to me. I miss them 😭

DELUXE EDITION OF ROBIN SON OF BATMAN IS COMING!!!!

[shyjusticewarrior]

Damian Wayne and his love of puns

[residentwordsofaffirmationdealer]

"you know in your heart this 'R' doesn't stand for 'ruin'. ... this 'r' stands for 'redemption'"

robin: son of batman is a hellaaaaaa underrated book and there were some fire lines about forgiveness and redemption (the main themes) -- like when he meets maya (whom he has generational beef with basically) and her first words to him are "you are unforgiven, damian wayne" and later she tells him about how he isn't his mother and he isn't his father and "even though right now you fell like you're all alone, and you've lost your father and your brothers...you've gained a sister. you are forgiven, damian wayne." (also btw when they talk about brothers they mean the sons of batman - the damian clones - not like the other robins)

but honestly this book is so sweet and also "the only thing this r stands for is ruin" and "every time you put it on, you're doing what your brothers did, fighting the good fight and honoring the legacy of the one who saved you from yourself. this r stands for REDEMPTION" is ALSO FIRE LINE. there were some really insightful moments, like when damian also has a nightmare where dick tells him he's surprised that damian didn't go to hell (when damian was dead) because of everything he's done

and this comic. the entire thing is about one thing -- choice. it supposed to contrast what you were born into and what you chose to be -- damian is both a wayne and an al-ghul and hes trying to figure out who he has to be. his best friend is a demon he was supposed to kill but CHOSE instead took in. his other best friend (who he comes to view as a sister) is the daughter of the person he killed who originally wanted vengeance but then CHOSE to forgive him. and she tells him she chooses to forgive him DESPITE HIM NOT BEING ABLE TO FORGIVE HIMSELF. like sure the mantle robin is related to batman but it wasn’t created by bruce wayne. unlike everything else that surrounds damian (as damian is the heir to the league of assassins, the son of batman), ROBIN is the one thing he has that he didn’t consider to be "his" or belong to him by blood. damian is told he will become the leader of the league or will become batman because of who his parents are but for him -- but robin isn’t HIS birthright. it’s a choice. all because dick CHOSE damian. and dick tells him "you'll always be my robin" and the robin legacy ISN'T bruce's it's dick's so its not damian's legacy by blood (the way batman is), its his legacy through trust and choice............ guys am i rambling or does this make sense. he has all this expectations forced onto him because of his lineage but this is the one thing that he is DESPITE that.... i'll talk about this later but that's why i think damian SHOULDN'T be the next batman

Idk what came after the last panel but this so sad :( I think there was one time in the 90s/2000s that Bruce attended Tim’s bday and that’s the only time I can think of 😭 he is so bad at being a dad dc write him better

GOD “My father has many priorities. Unless I get in his way, I’ve never been one of them” I will cry

Hello guys !

I’m gonna share some behind the scenes from the deluxe edition of Robin son of Batman that came out this Wednesday !

This amazing cover art by Patrick Gleason (you might be wondering why Jon is here but Superman #10 and 11 are in this deluxe trade)

Continuing on and Gleason shares some words on Damian and writing him for the run, it’s really touching 🥹

« Damian is a glimpse of our deepest selves »

Gleason just gets Damian (as we saw in his writing of him) and I couldn’t be more happy !

Afterwards we get the different issues plus the Superman issue 10 and 11 around the end of the run. I definitely recommend you reading it if you haven’t !

At the end we have different sketches that I’m going to share some here :

Baby Goliath and what I think is the first sketch of Goliath that was mentioned in the intro !

Different sketches on the costumes designs and well the characters like Maya’s retractable sword !

One Talia Al Ghul piece from the bts

I reached the limit but will share my favorite one by far right after !

Robin: Son of Batman #6

[embracedbythesea]

I always liked the relationship that developed between Damian and Maya during the #robinsonofbatman story arc, and I would like to see that brotherly relationship between them again. #Mayaducard is truly the sister that #DamianWayne needs

[tearsinmybrutaliaeyes]

Damian and maya aka sis vs bro (oﾟзﾟo)

[ceristhedivine]

"Maya Ducard was the possible previous love interest for Damian Way–"

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Take a step back. Stop for a moment.

Did you actually READ the material?

Let's take a look again. 👇

Hoped you enjoyed taking a reread. Good day.

Damian’s best stories are where he doesn’t have a love interest change my mind

[shyjusticewarrior]

Talia 🤝 Bruce

Wrongfully thinking Maya betrayed Damian and being immediately ready to throw hands

If I had a nickel for every time this happened, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but they need to calm down.
