Batman: Let’s go home Damian.
Damian: I’ll drive.
Batman: No.
Damian: I know how.
Batman: *NO!!!!*
😂😂😂😂
Loved that movie
ANGEL MORALES it was my first time watching Damian
🤣😂😂😂
@@icetray2727 My too.
I alredy like him, since that Day.
He killed, he met daddy, he got tamed, he died, he got stolen, he got stolen again, he got resurected, he got powers, he lost said powers and then
He turned 13
yeah he’s had a real hard and complicated life
Teenage years are gonna be worse. Especially for a boy like Damien who thinks he's mastered everything. I doubt he's mastered puberty 😂
@@patrioticcat5768 if he goes through puberty with the whole being grown in a tube thing
😱
Patriotic Cat who tf masters puberty
Damian is my favourite Robin. A lot of ppl write him off as a ‘whiny brat’ but don’t realise he has more depth and development compared to most Robins, while bringing a fresh dynamic to the Batfamily.
He’s trash plain and simple
The L Delivery Man boy you better take your butthurt ass elsewhere because saying that isn’t going to change my mind.
I think each and every Robin (including Stephanie) have complex histories and none of them are boring when properly portrayed, but yes, it just wouldn't be the same without snarky little ninja brat Damian. I'm glad he's here.
Dick Grayson has more of the kindness than he will ever have here!
@@Toppshotta4 dude get outta here if you're just going to complain.
Alot of people hate Damian because he's a self entitled brat, but everyone forgets that he was raised by assassins to be a ruthless weapon and he is Bruce Wayne's son and remember, Bruce isn't that much of a likeable person
Just goes to show human traits aren’t passed on but learned from observation. Damian was treated like a god since he was a baby,of course that would go to anyone’s head.Love how this is ignored and just pretend he was born this way.
He's actually rounded out some since then.
I think people hate him cuz his too OP in the New 52 Animated Movie
Yes thank you
@@notyourbuddy20805 he's been bathing in the laziras pit since a baby
Did you see how strong death stroke was when he bathed in it ONCE, he put a curator into a roof
Not to mention the further the story goes the weaker he gets, probably losing the power from the laziras piy
I blame Talia Al Ghul and Ra’s Al Ghul for Damian’s rudeness.
Talia: I raise our son and kept him a secret from you for a long time and train him to be a killer, and show no mercy or compassion to others, so I leave him under your care Bruce
Batman: ...damn it Talia
Talia: "Also, spanking your kids really *is* too PC to do even on extremely unruly children, trust me, I'm a very compassionate mother"
Am with u too cause damien was supposed to be like that kind dude but still he is rude I really agree with you
Plus mama is a rapist so not really a good role model either
In my opinion, damian is much more than his arrogance and hard shell. He is compassionate, loving, caring and willing to make a change. That is what actually makes a hero. You just have to keep looking into the character
Exactly! I feel like the writers creating all these new characters *cough cough* new warriors *cough cough* are only focusing on surface level things like race, gender, and appearance. Never mind the fact that what people actually want to see is: why is this character here and what made them who they are today? Why do they make the choices they do? what are their values and morals? Damian's character answers all of those questions from his backstory growing up as an assassin to his current life as Robin.
Sugar Blood and to talk about his character development... it really shows how a child deals with all of that, and how there is hope for everyone
That’s why I mess with him 💯 happy someone else sees that
Injustice says otherwise.
He loves animals, he eventually respects both Bruce and Dick very much, as well as Alfred. He's a brat to Tim, but that's his childish jealousy jumping in. He's just a kid mixed with lots of trauma, of course he's gonna be a brat. He needs love and growth and less terrible writers.
Batman- I have a half a mind to report you for Grandtheft auto.
Damien- I’d like to hear you make that call “hello Police my son stole the Batmobile”
Lmao
I loved that line.
Where’s this from?
@@samariapointer6962 Batman vs robin im pretty sure
I remember that 😂
The comments: Damian's a brat but I like him?
Me: *nods in character development*
YES
@Jason Todd hah
Damian being Bruce's actual son makes him special, like really special.
Terry also exists
@Mecha Zord so Damian and Terry are brothers
@Third Planet yes but no relationship like Damian's
@@icetray2727 yes
Mecha Zord That was a stupid retcon
I’ve always liked Damian he was different compared to all the Robin’s being a killer and all that’s what I liked about him.
Nobody likes Damien end of story. 👎🏾
The L Delivery Man ok lol
Jason, Dick, Cassandra have killed too.
@@Toppshotta4 60% of the comment section loves damian wym
Jason Todd ¿????¿
I know he’s not a fan favorite but he has a lot of potential to be a fan favorite, really like his dynamic with Jonathan Kent!
Exactly but Bendis has to ruin it
I’m a simple man. I see a history of Robin episode, I click immediately.
Boni Chodes it’s not much but it’s honest work
@@crimsoncomet4342 same immediately click it
I’m late, but I like your style kid.
Exactly
I"m a simple man. If I see the name "Damien Wayne" I automatically assume he's going to be a dick.
Damian is by far my favorite robin, and tbh, he’s the only person I can see as being Batman. Dick made a name for himself as Nightwing, so being Batman would be redundant, Tim and Jason always end up being murderous and evil as Batman, and Terry doesn’t work in the main DC universe. Damian, on the other hand, has grown from being the bratty abused child (yes, he was abused, people often forget that, for some reason) to a caring person, and he’s been training all his life to earn the cowl.
Aberama Gold when has Tim been evil Batman?
I believe its one of the teen titans story line where Red Robin Tim meets Batman Tim and found out to be a murderous batman
Titans tomorrow i think. But Damian was also an evil Batman in #666
I mean,with that,it seems like they want dick to be batman
Tim just doesn't have the jerk of Batman. Dimian is a mini version of Batman.
I adore Damian he is 100% my favorite Robin, no questions asked ❤️❤️❤️
Same he all time favorite
he's babie ngl
Damian my favorite as well especially coming from seeing his character development.
He is my second fav. Jason is in first place
Damian was a brat, but I learned to like him.
Same
Yea me too
Yup
Same
He was a kid, it added a different dynamic to the rest of the Robins
Honestly, I see myself in Damian since he's struggling to change for himself in spite of the expectations everyone around him has. His father wants him to be like Dick Grayson and his mother and grandfather want him to be a cold-hearted assassin. The war inside himself is super realistic and relatable to a lot of people.
Most definitely
Which makes Damian so interesting is he basically a mini version of Batman. The writers can apply any crazy Batman's idea to Damian that cannot do the same with Batman because he is DC's face. And I love it.
It was actually Damian wayne's birthday a few days ago so happy belated birthday Damian.
Wait fr???
Yes, hes birthday is 9 Avgust.
Sorry for mu bad english.
It's like a prerequisite to being a superhero is having dead parents or having a complex relationship with them.
"being a superhero is having dead parents or having a complex relationship with them"
That's pretty much describe Damian's current Teen Titan lol
Damian Wayne is such a hard person to fully explain/understand, and Variant did it perfectly.
I've seen enough, I'm satisfied. *Clicks like*
I wasn't sure what to think of Damian when he was first introduced but Morrison and Tomasi's characterisation quickly turned him into one of my favourites.
I liked how the animated universe did it in less time yet felt natural.It wasn’t as developed and he was still a dick in his teenage years,but I love watching him grow movie after movie.
That what is call a character growth or character development.
I think we all imagined batman taller
He's 6′ 2″, what were people expecting?
@Pyzon are u aware it's like 0.5~1% of the population 🗿
@@chrixdigit Batman’s ‼️special‼️
I expected like 6'3
There needs to be a series about all four robins.
Sounds like it be badass.
Don’t forget there would also never be spiderman without a dead uncle Ben... yeah.
Bruce’s parents and peter’s uncle have to be and stay dead to maintain spiderman and Batman’s existences respectively. Just my opinion.
Except for that one Spider-Man that’s uncle Ben 🙃
That would be cool it seems like the only one where all the robins are going to be together like the comics might be Young Justice, if there are others someone tell me, which would be nice to see.
You might be correct, but let us remember that Uncle Ben told "With great power comes great responsibility." Also he got his powers before uncle Ben died. But you probably are right because Peter's uncle's death drove him to find his killer and do good after finding out he is the reason his uncle died.
you can try reading Batman and Robin Eternal. (Also there is 5 robins)
Let’s not forget about Stephanie, she needs to be included then again she’s better off hanging with Cassandra Cain and Barbra Gordon aka the batgirls
I used to hate Damian Wayne as I thought he was a whiny brat, but recently I’ve liked him a lot more as I see that he shares the most personality traits with Bruce. Damian will make a great batman in my mind.
I can totally agree,Bruce in his early years can easily be seen in Damian.In the beginning Batman had a sense of pride in his capabilities,knowing working alone is easier and a better way.But being an adult he knew his mission should always come first.
Like father like son.
No way only Dick Grayson can be good enough for that here!
@@MartialArtswithLucyLu as much as I love Dick Grayson, I prefer him to remain as Nightwing (I mean, of course he became batman for a short time)
@@MartialArtswithLucyLu Nope dick Grayson is nightwing and that's all only damian can be batman.
Fun fact:
Damian in the main DC universe is 13 years old, he became Robin when he was 10 years old.
Damian in DC Injustice Universe is 25 years old, he became Robin when he was 13 and was raised in the legion of Assassins a lot longer.
Damian is the type of character that has to grown on some people. I didn’t care for him too much, but I considered everything about his past and watched him evolve. I just wish some fans would quit crying & saying shit like “I hate Damian he needs to die” bc goddamn I’m getting Jason Todd flashbacks 😂 let’s just agree that we can have our favorites but none NEED to die...
Agree.. I don’t want another Jason dealth repeat. Everyone can have their favorite, but let’s be respectful and which for no one to die but live.
If Damian is genetically perfect that means he can sing with no problems. Now that begs the question.. is he better than Bruce??
sing? 😂
@@sunshineyrainbows13 in the DCAU Justice League Unlimited Wonder Woman was turned into a pig by a sorceress and to change her back Batman voiced by Kevin Conroy had to sing which brought the sorceress Circe to tears of joy which lead to her upholding her end of the bargain turning Wonder Woman back to normal
The episode ended with Wonder Woman thanking Batman by humming the song he sung
Of course, he ISN'T!
I see anything to do with Damian Wayne, I click immediately.
There should be a comic series about the Bat bros. Called like "Band of Brothers"
Well the new Gotham Knights is kinda like thag
I actually like Damian, I just think they tried to hard to make us accept that he’s the new Robin lol
True. Did the same with Jason back in the 80s and then they had to kill him 💀💀
They did same to him
I love Damian so much actually because he's just like a feral little kitten with sharp claws that needs to be socialized
@@sunshineyrainbows13 it was really that bad
People are gonna flood this comment section with comments about Damian being a brat, I know it.
Utlwanang Mmeti Damian, despite his immense pride respects his father. He acknowledges himself as ‘blood son’ and wants to live up to the legacy of Batman.
But yeah, because he’s not a obedient solider like Tim he’s ‘ungrateful and disrespects Bruce’
Of course Damian is an ungrateful brat. He is the son of Batman and the grandson of Ras al ghul and that comes with expectations he lives up to every day. The other Robin's are gifted children Batman took in but they are ultimately someone else's child so they are grateful in a way that Batman's biological child could never be. I love the character because Batman's son would be a precocious badass and wouldn't care to apologize for it.
Utlwanang Mmeti he’s actually gotten a lot better. He respects his father and more than anything just wants his approval. His more softer moments often come when he’s paired with Jon or Dick
Because he is lol
I bet these people had never read Robin Son of Batman
“Fan favorite from the start” is debatable but I won’t lie Damian has grown on me
Still waiting for a positive grown up Damian.
Because the ones we get are complete crazies.
Batman Beyond damian and Injustice Damian.
DCeased Damian is good but he feels like a completely different person judging by how tame he is.
Probably hearing Bruce's last moment affected him and changed him into a "softer" Damian (as Talia said)
In Batman Beyond Bruce didn't die, and in Injustice Bruce straight up denied the kid's whole existence after he accidentally killed Dick
Media/Cartoons/Movies never do justice to the character development we see in the comics, sadly.
DCeased Damian got Jon by his side growing up. That's the different between that Damian to Injustice and BB one. Bruce is a shitty father. He's much better be dead than being alive but keep antagonising his own blood
This kid is like what, 2, 3 years younger than me? And he’s borderline superhuman. I respect the BatFamily’s hustle so much man
I just finished watching justice league dark apokolips war and honestly damians arc throughout the dc animated movies was amazing
Kids a beast! His time with the league of assassins and his time training and learning with Batman, if he wasn’t a kid he’d beat Batman hands up
I absolutely love the dichotomy between Super Sons where it's just fun, up beat, and just genuinely awesome then you have what's going down in DCeased Dead Planet where Damian and Johnathan are the leaders/ super heroes doing all they can to survive with the last of humanity. Just incredible character progression and development, on both Jonathan and Damian 👏
Damien and NIghtwing , one the best bonds in comics.
History of:
Dr. Doom
Silver Surfer
Red Hulk
Lizard
Rhino
Kraven the Hunter.
Doctor big D is done.
Red She Hulk though
@@ggt47 dr doom done
Who else thinks Jason Momoa will make a great "kraven the hunter" ?!?
I mean, just d look alone.
i love Damian Wayne been a fan since he debuted in the comics even when other people hated him love him
Ikr people hate him but I love him
It about time you did the History of the Robin who was raised by the league of assassins and also the biological son of Batman
The actor playing Fives in Umbrella Academy should play a live action Damian Wayne.
Maybe then, but now he’s too old
First time I saw Damian was the first time I liked Robin; he is the only robin I have interest in or care about. Now don't get me wrong i do like/love The Bat Family, but I liked them after each of them lose the robin role (Nightwing, Redhood.....). (Damian is only one that I liked in the robin role)
Same
“Been a fan favorite character”
Batman Beyond fans: Are we a joke to you
I never hate him.
I always love him.
Son of Batman, raised by the League of Assassin, and the grandson of Batman's greatest enemy
I actually really like Damian. He was literally raised by assassin's. To be a weapon. Constantly had it beaten into him that he would be the greatest weapon to ever exist. Just to meet his father who is everything the league of shadows and his mother isn't. Then he sees these bonds that his father has with these other people (Nightwing, Tim, Jason etc) and desperately wanting that bond and to be the one true heir of his father he uses what he was raised with to try to get it. Just to learn that's not gonna work. Now he constantly has to try to balance what he has always knew with what he is learning. He's so complex and I love it
Most people say that they hated Damian at first but I deadass adored him the moment I saw him
You should do a history of SHIELD as the show is ending today
I thought it was canceled cuz nobody liked that show?
@@tristonperry2378 it has lasted 7 really good seasons
Triston Perry U thought wrong my friend. Its a really good show, good enough to thrive even after the MCU dropped it.
It's a boring show honestly 🤷🏻♂️
Wwe will be mad 😂😂😂sorry bad one by me
Grayson and Damian are my favorite Robins!! They're the best Robins!!
Funny how the characters who don’t have super powers are the most popular
I’m sorry but Was i the only person who hated Damian when he was first introduced but then like him as he grew and developed and turned more mature ?
If you'd like to see a review of the 2000 Sentry comic book series, click the link below:

No. No you are not
No
Do your really think you are the only person who did that
You have a great comment and i disagree with u
Damian Wayne is the Best Robin ever he’s literally a little Bruce Wayne who is already more skilled and smarter than any of the other Robins in their day
No way Dick Grayson is and will always be the Robin here!
@@richarddah2807 Yeah I don't like Damian I'm expressing it and I stand by my points!
Oh ok. That's your opinion
Tomasi's Batman and Robin (the new52 version) and Robin: Son of Batman have some good character development for Damian and definitely are must read. People don't talk about those books that much thou.
i like that book Robin Son of Batman. I shipped him so hard with Maya Ducard I don't like how DC makes him love every magical girl in his sight lol
@@shazamsakazaki i've always seen Maya as more of a sister figure
Hey liked him since he was introduced.
This kid had good character development
DC fans hated him in the beginning of the DCAMU now they love him in JL Dark Apokolips War
I just don't like how the DCAMU always makes Nightwing look inferior compared to him
Frost 757 people started that whole stick because Grayson was fucking around in their sparing match and got sucker punched. They really think a grown man trained by one of the best fighters in the world was taking a soaring match with a 10 year old seriously
@@MazeDaGr8 The frost, there are many movies that centres Dick grayson, but the New 52 is more around Damian. So it does makes sense.
Him an Jason are my favorite robins outta the bat family
He's always been my favorite, glad he's gotten more love throughout the years
I miss Damian and Dick duo
And i think Damian is some sort of a tsundere? Idk man
@Gmoney 12 I agree, especially with Dick being an older brother figure of some sorts for Damian
Dick & Damian are my favourite Batman and Robin dynamic.
Damian is absolutely a tsundere, especially when he's with Dick or Jon.
Damian is such a complex character and my favorite, he is so funny and dynamic all the time, his relationship and him are base on development and he has also a tough life. He is such a good character and I don't mind if you don't like him flr whatever reason, like it's your right, but don't say he is a bad character because that's not true.
my friend!!! you forgot a reading recommendation!!!! O.O and one of the most important!!! Damian Wayne´s mini serie...Robin: Son of Batman, where he traveled around the world looking for the forgiveness of his past sins, alongside Goliath and Nobody´s daughter Maya Ducard :D this book is as good as Super Sons and we can see how much Dami grew and accepted his father´s legacy and how he regreted the stuffs he did as an Al Ghul :D (but every changed when Adam Glass and his crappy Teen Titans attacked ...) and when you said Batman and Robin I imagine you mean both runs from 2009 (with Dick Grayson as Batman) and 2011 ( where Bruce returned to be the Dark Knight) :D
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS🔥🔥🔥
hey i really like the format you give to this type of videos, for someone who still new to comics it is really hard to keep up with everything that had happened, love the recommendation part tbh
Thank you! I was bored at work and was hoping for a new Video
Super Sons is so amazing and one of my favorite series to give kids to introduce them to comics.
5:34 Of all the robin costume, I love Damien's the most. It even beat Nightwing and red robin for me. Im still debating with myself regarding the red hood costume...
I agree! He has the best robin costume period! It looks so cool and stylishly sleek and dark! Love it!
Man I used to watch this guy back in 2013-14 and to see he is still going at it pumping out great videos is awesome the only CZcamsr to stay true to themselves
I love Damian! Wish they would make an animated movie with him and Jon Kent !
Yes!!! I love Damian Wayne, he’s my favorite comic book character
So Batman has a son because Talia drugged Bruce Wayne thus forcing him to have an affair with her and she treats her son harsh. Nuts.
You can’t have a hero with a happy life. Something must be taken from them or they must experience an ever changing event that made them decide to be a hero.
@@mrdude88 Same thing goes to villains too tbh. Make sure it doesn't happen to someone else?
Or make the world pay? Muahaha
@@mrdude88
Except captain Marvel...she was essentially given her powers and abilities(movie version tho)
In some stories Talia r-ped Bruce, in other cases it was consensual. Post rebirth though, I'm not sure.
omg your timing is perfect!!! I was looking for this content in this channel today but found it only now when you posted XD I love damian :3
Been waiting for this video for a veryyyyy long time
That kid that plays 5 on the umbrella academy should play the life action version of damian wayne
Aidan Gallagher yes
What would happen if Damian Wayne was trained by Lady Shiva and Richard Dragon? Can you do history of Lady Shiva and Richard Dragon?
Tim was trained by Lady Shiva. Not sure if Rebirth changed it.
IVE BEEN WAITINGGGG!
My favorite Robin tbh, never understood the hate especially after he’s been around for so long
People dont have great taste.
Damian most Interesting robin
Yay I love it when variant uploads
Good time for Damian (Son of Batman) get a history episode of his own, not only is he a fan favorite but he sort of reminds me of my brother at times although he is five years younger than me lol
i thought the part where superman and john kent were facing off with batman and damian wayne was really freakin cool
Can you please do a History of Stephanie Brown? Just to in a way complete all the Robins and hate was Robin for a short time.
I wouldn’t call him a fan favorite... I think the character evolved and fans grew to him. But he was definitely disliked in his first outing.
The Batman and Robin series is full of great stories and father and son moments that are heart wrenching ☺☺☺☺
Quality stuff as always Arris.
I’ve been waiting for this he’s the best
How dare you not mention the Bat-Cow. Dami is definitely his father's son, adopting every animal in sight 😂
Is it weird that even though this guy was a brat, I slowly started liking him?
Same guess furthermore his story and character growth shall do it for ya
This was an awesome video!
Love the Robin videos and hope we will get to hear more about Tim Drake. He’s one of my favorite Robins.
Can you do History of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?
Never liked any robin until Damian. Pretty cool character flexible. He can be a hero or a villain.
lol what? How can you even say that! Plenty of the robins have been likable before hand!
Okay, now all that is needed is a Stephanie Brown video and the series will be complete, at least as far as concerns in-continuity Robins.
She’s no longer a Incontinuity Robin
This is my favorite character from the Batman universe. So glad you did this vid
Damien Wayne is supposed to be a brat he didn’t see his parents gunned in front of him while living a sheltered life, Damien understands death thanks to grandma raj, he’s essentially a young Batman if Batman was raised to fight, all in all making dame my favorite because his growth into a better man
yes yes abusive childhood is an example of sheltered life, of course, this is the thought process that makes dc the peak of entertainment, absolutely.
Supersons was so amazing they had an amazing relationship, so mad they aged Jon up so much
I was looking for this today. Yes!!!!
It's cool you guys made it through all the Robins
i love Damian Wayne robin with his best friend Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy because super sons was fantastic and tons of fun
He is reminder me prens Zuko. 😂🤟
Great video thanks for the history 👍🤙🖖
Great episode 👏 Loved it lol got to learn some new stuff to thanks
