Whenever people want to hate on Damian i think they should first see how little he is

Damian's chaos gremlin grin is everything to me.

I love how Bruce went from saying "boy" to "son" to Damian. It shows how much their relationship improved. Bruce is being a caring and good father after neglecting him for so long. Finally! That's what I want to see.

Well he wasn't always bad per se, his relationship with Damian was pretty good in B&R(2011), but him calling Damian "boy" just made me feel always cold. It felt like he didn't care about Damian. I don't know maybe it's because English is not my native language.

Nevertheless, seeing him calling Damian "son" just makes me warm and fluffy. I want to keep seeing Bruce being a wholesome dad. I hope the new writer can provide that to us.

bruce was on the right path in batman and robin (2011) by not falling for damians trick of trying to seem more mature then he actually was only to fuck it all up by thinking he had no fear and had no empathy which was one of damians other tricks because ofc damian had more then one trick

i just know bruce gets pissed the fuck off waiting for damian to lace up his vintage 1970s knee high lace up green frye boots every night

Do you guys ever wonder what Jon’s reaction would be when he found out Damian had powers when he came back to life?

"Forgive me, father, for I have sinned" is a funny thing to say to one's Jewish dad.

I think this panel is the closest we get to acknowledging *how* inconsistent a presence Bruce was in Damian's life pre Batman 2011

Batman and Robin #5

Like oK recap mostly based on memory but:

Batman and Son: Damian shows up, Bruce makes it clear he wants to take Damian out fighting crime Damian tries to do this by killing Spook (and tries to establish his place by taking out Tim). He's following League of Assassins rules, Bruce gets very mad (understandably) and Damian tries to prove himself to Bruce by saying where Talia is. Then, Damian is presumed dead.

Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul. Damain seeks Bruce out for help because Ra's wants to possess him, but Bruce is not there and he gets Dick and Tim. Bruce eventually orders damian to fight when they're in a battle situation against LoA and Sensei's dude, Damian leaps to prove himself but Talia knocks him out and removes him from the action b/c she thinks they're all going to die. Bruce decides not to go look for Damian and Talia b/c he says Damian needs to be free of destiny - Ra's' or his. But Damian does not know about this.

Bruce "dies"

Bruce comes back from his trip in time, surprised that Damian is Robin but they work together well when stopping Dr Hurt's guys. Later, in a mission damian disobeys Bruce's orders to find out more about the bad guys and Bruce says it won't work out, but he's not firing Damian as Robin, he just wants Damian to keep working with Dick in Gotham while he does his globetrotting batman and robin thing.

like, from Damian's POV Bruce just does duck in and out of his life (sometimes with a reason, sometimes not) and then shows up and tries very hard to be a 'real father' with strict rules but he has not put in the work to establish himself as someone who actually wants to be there beforehand... no wonder Damian feels stifled

something about how Titus can be soo soo soo gentle with his family but is ready to kill to defend them, he really is Damians dog, i would even dare call him Damians mirror

look at this Titus went straight for the jugular

[zeynyukine3011]

You can see the more time passes the more Damian fills his room up with personel items and I think this is a very neat detail.

damian’s clearly been spending too much hero time with dick (as he should)
