More brutalia fam content! Headcanon Talia uses ig occasionally 😆

Bruce Wayne could probably not care any less for social media but is willing to pose for her stories.

Talia and Bruce looking spectacular at a gala event but Damian just wants Titus to be known.

Thank you to the amazing @ube-kun for these pieces :)) saw them post another fanart on tw about Talia and Damian and I found it so cute, had to commission too

Alfred got killed by Bane. I don’t even know who to blame anymore.

BUT IT IS NOT DAMIAN'S FAULT!!

He was just another pawn in Bruce’s chaotic plan that, let’s be real, barely made sense at that point.

He was just following the plan and ended up stuck there, forced to watch Alfred die.

That kid did nothing wrong!

I am Damian Wayne's #1 defender

If Damian got his own hero name, I think these sound pretty cool.

(From what I checked, I don't think these names have been used in the DC universe... I guess?)

Shadowflare

Flarewing

Blazewing

Nightflare

Night Halo

Dusklight

Shadowbolt >> bo-boruto? 😅🤣

What if Bruce and Talia had to win Damian over by offering him the craziest, most amazing animal-related gifts they could think of?

Bruce: “Damian, my son. If you stay with me, I swear I’ll buy you that Arabian horse you’ve always wanted—plus I’ll build a barn just for it.”

Talia: “Habibi, you do know that our palace in Nanda Parbat can openly house your Goliath and red Chinese dragon without hiding them, right?”

Bruce: “White tanuki! You said you wanted to see a white tanuki, didn’t you? How about just the two of us go see one next week at the Japanese zoo, hmm?”

Talia: “My little prince, if you stay with me, I’ll let you sleep with your Bengal tiger on the bed every single night!”

Bruce: “A Bengal tiger!? Are you insane?!”

Talia (rolling her eyes at Bruce): “Also, Damian—your grandfather’s wolf pack needs someone to look after them. You’ve always wanted to play with them, haven’t you? If you come back with me, they’ll be all yours.”

Bruce (visibly worried): “Son! You’re still worried about those dinosaurs on the island, right? We… we… we can go camping there for a week to study their behavior, okay?”

Talia (getting fired up): “My baby! You’ve always wondered about the nine-tailed fox and the Qilin, right? The two of us can go find them! My people reported sightings of them just recently in the northern forests of China.”

Bruce (pulling the ultimate dad card, yelling): “DAMIAN! SON! LISTEN TO ME! THERE IS NO PLACE BUT GOTHAM WHERE YOU'VE GOT BROTHERS TO MESS WITH AND ANNOY!"

"Damian Wayne is the worst character."

"No one likes Damian Wayne."

Whenever I see comments like these, I can't help but wonder—have they ever stepped out of the narrow little world called "personal opinion"?

Or are they perhaps caught in an echo chamber—surrounded by people who think the same way, over and over again, until they start believing that their own beliefs are universal truths?

[sukydetsu]

If Damian's career path is becoming a doctor, like his mother and grandfather (Ra's / Thomas / Alfred)

Then what about Jon's career path?

Is he going to be a journalist like his parents?

Being a journalist sounds cool, but I don't think he'd be the '90s kind who sits at a desk writing news or wears a suit to take photos/interview people at events.

I feel like Jon would be a field reporter who makes short news reels for social media ... Maybe

I really love Damian’s Robin.

But sometimes, when stans of other Robins talk badly about Damian just to make their favorite Robin look better—like their version is the “perfect” or “real” Robin that everyone should accept—it kinda sucks.

If you're allowed to talk from your own bias, then maybe I can do that too, right?

I love Damian’s Robin because he doesn’t feel like a fantasy.

(I kinda wanna explain how other Robin is, like, way too unrealistic. But... nah. I don't wanna end up sounding like a little kid showing off their toys.)

I read comics for fun, sure—but when I truly love a character, it’s because they reflect something real about being human.

Damian is that kind of character.

He really shows what it's like to be a regular person—especially the pain and wounds that come from the people around us. That feeling of being alone.

Damian hurts because people judge him.

For his past, which he can’t change.

For who he is now, even if he’s trying.

For a future they’ve already decided he doesn’t deserve.

He hurts because people try to “help” him, but it’s more like they force their idea of “good” on him.

He hurts because people pity him—and that pity becomes a way for them to feel kind and compassionate. Not because they actually see him.

That kind of pain? It’s the same pain a lot of us feel every single day.

And I think a lot of Damian stans follow his story because they’re waiting to see how DC will write him healing from pain he can’t even talk about out loud.

Damian made me realize something.

Maybe deep down, he doesn’t really want a friend or partner who tries to convince others to see him in a good light ~ He just wants someone who gets mad when people talk bad about him.

Maybe he doesn’t need someone who always points out how much he’s improved. ~ He just wants someone who says, “It’s okay. You messed up, but you tried your best.”

Maybe he doesn’t want someone to be his shining light, leading the way out of the darkness. ~ He just wants someone who sits with him in the dark, knows how much it sucks, and helps him figure things out together, in a way that he can.

Canon : Damian can mimic voices.

Headcanon : Damian has a TikTok where he makes funny voice videos of his pets.

DUALIITY

Damian with his pets :

- Good morning, Alfred (the cat)

- Come here. Sit with me. Good boy, Titus (the dog)

- Sleep well, Bat-Cow?

- Hey, what are you doing? Jerry (the turkey)

- Oh~ Silly boy. That’s fine, Goliath (the bat-dragon)

- Gorgeous, Wiggle (the dragon)

- Clever girl, Lucy (the macaque)

Damian with his family ;

- Father, let me go!

- Grayson, get away from me!

- Todd, save your mouth for eating!

- Drake, even a 3-year-old could see that—unless you're blind!

[sukydetsu]

Damian isn't an orange cat, nor is he a black cat—he's a gray cat with emerald eyes. I think Damian's image resembles that of a Russian Blue or maybe a Korat cat. Damian's demeanor reminds me of Baron from The Cat Returns.

At first, I thought Baron was more like Bruce, but the more I think about it, I feel he's closer to Damian.

In high-pressure situations, Baron doesn't lose his composure—just like Damian. (If you read Damian's comics, you'll see that he handles illusions and psychological manipulation quite well. Basically, Damian has strong mental resilience, unlike Bruce, who tends to spiral if his emotional triggers are pressed.)

Also, if you strip away the plot design that always makes Baron seem like he makes the right decision, he's actually just as controlling and directive as Damian. You can see that Baron often tells other characters what they should do and only presents them with options he personally approves of.

[sukydetsu]

I really don't like it when some people talk about their favorite character UNDER topics that are supposed to be about OTHER characters

For example:

Topic: Damian had an amazing moment in Batman and Robin

Then someone comments: “xxx deserves this kind of moment too.”

Topic: Damian stops being Robin to become a doctor

And someone goes: “Hey, someone call xxx! It’s their time to shine!”

Come on, seriously?

Damian has a habit of extracting the truth through his gaze and silence.

.

[sukydetsu]

Damian: "April Fools' Day?"

Dick: "Yes, Damian, April Fools' Day. Today, you can lie or trick anyone. It's the day of deception!"

Damian : "...Oh"

Jason : "Huh! I don't think this kid understands it."

Tim : "Even if he understands it, what trick is he going to pull on us?"

Dick : "Shut up, guys!"

Dick : "Come on, Damian, try to say something that will make us believe you."

Damian : "You mean, say something that you can't tell if it's true or a lie?"

Dick : "Yep!!"

Damian crosses his arms, rubs his chin, and looks down thoughtfully for a moment.

Damian : "Well..."

Dick, Tim and Jason wait to hear.

Damian : "... I've died more than once."

Dick, Tim, Jason : .....

[sukydetsu]

I think Damian is a very kind person. SO much SO that he forgives his crazy father, Bruce, for repeatedly hurting him emotionally.

And... I think Bruce must be aware of this, which is why he was afraid when Damian said he would stop being Robin.

"HE DID NOT COME TO GOTHAM TO BE BRUCE WAYNE'S SON OR TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE."

What Bruce said to Jason in Batman and Robin #18 is true. Even though Damian is underage, he is capable enough to live on his own without parental guidance.

Damian is different from Bruce's other adopted children, not because he is Bruce's biological son, but because Damian doesn’t need parents to support him in terms of living and everyday needs. (Of course, he's Al Ghul, and Talia has taught him enough skills to survive without his parents.)

Therefore, I’m not surprised that Bruce expressed his fear of losing Damian when he said, "HE CAME FOR BATMAN. IF HE IS NOT BATMAN'S PARTNER ANYMORE, THERE IS NOTHING KEEPING HIM HERE."

It seems that the world's greatest detective and the world's most clueless father are the same person.

Bruce doesn’t even realize that Damian still wants to be the son of Bruce Wayne.

Damian still wants the things Bruce gives to his adopted children so easily : unconditional love & trust.

Not love & trust that are earned by being tested and proving that Damian is good enough to be Bruce’s son.
