Looks really good, although I find it odd they're making this now when Damian Wayne was killed off in the comics and DC is sweeping his character under the rug.

I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years Damian is retconned out of history altogether and DC will act like he never happened.

*ZariusTwo* · 01-20-2014, 03:32 PM

About time we got something from the Morrison era, but yeah, strange they focus on Damien now when they stopped dead his momentum (as well as his heart) last year. Morrison killed Talia off as well, but you know she'll probably be back sooner or later because the Al Ghuls never stay corpses for long.

*CyberCubed* · 01-20-2014, 03:42 PM

It's stupid because they'll probably make a sequel to this movie "The Death of Damian Wayne" from the comics as well but skipping everything inbetween about how Nightwing became Batman and worked with Damian a good while.

Also I may be bias but I always hated the idea of multiple Robin's. I would have rathered Damian have a unique superhero costume rather than just being Robin #4.

It sickens me to see so many Robin's when Batman clearly does not age yet all these Robin's somehow go from 10 year olds to adults.

looks cool, definate buy for me

"Ill drive..."
"NO"
"I know how"

"Sickens" you? Get a ****ing life.

Anyways, this looks awesome. DC can do no wrong when it comes to animation. Only Robin that hasn't got a big roll in a movie recently is Tim.

Did Jason Todd get a movie?

Under the Red hood told the whole story of Jason Todd killed by Joker and then brought back to life by Ra's Al Ghul.

I think him being all over the shows makes up for that.

*CyberCubed* · 01-20-2014, 08:17 PM

Tim Drake is rarely in the shows though. In B:TAS he's only in about 10 episodes (he was absent for most of the last season), and even in Young Justice he doesn't come till Season 2 and even then he's not in most of the episode.

Dick Grayson appears in virtually every Batman show, but all the other get the short end of the stick.

Actually they are suppose to be bringing Damian back in the near future and his mother.

*CyberCubed* · 01-20-2014, 08:54 PM

Haven't heard about that yet but it wouldn't surprise me given how often DC kills characters and then brings them back.

It was implied at in one of the Batman inc comics. shortly after Damian was killed it showed Damian and his mother's graves empty at the end of one of the books.

*CyberCubed* · 01-20-2014, 11:37 PM

Here's hoping we get a sequel to this movie showing Dick Grayson wearing the Batman costume with Damian by his side like in the comics.

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if this movie spawns a trilogy, showing each stage of Damian Wayne's run in the comics. It'll be like how they adapted the Frank Miller Dark Knight into two movies.

*sdp* · 01-21-2014, 06:06 PM

I see these movies as a continuation of the Young Justice universe and pretty much all the movies that don't have a very distinct art-style in the same continuity. I used to get a lot of crap now because it wasn't "Weisman's vision" but now that it's settled in on most people that his uber control of the shows he works and only "word of god" is canon is silly since his years of stories that he has planned never happen and he never reveals anything. Sure there's a few continuity errors, but overall the movies fit pretty well in the same universe and so does YJ. Let's not act like the DCAU didn't have continuity errors, hell the 90s MarvelAU has more continuity mistakes and they're considered in continuity.

And hey, you guys are forgetting Robin #4 Stephanie Brown, sure she was killed almost instantly but she was brought back then she became Batgirl, I don't see why DC and fans don't want to recognize her being Robin and yet can have a Bat title recognized. I liked her as Robin, the idea of a female one was fresh and could've been fun the same way that Damien was. Who is Robin nowadays anyway? I hope they don't make Tim Drake Robin again.

Gwydion · 01-21-2014, 08:16 PM

While admittedly I'd be more excited about a movie showcasing Dick and Damian, I still would like to see this. Saw some screenshots elsewhere, but had no idea where they were from, so good to know!

Currently there is no Robin, although an african-american version has been teased by DC, not to mention DKR's Carrie Kelly is now a supporting character in the New 52 era.

Well, that's comic books for you. Batman was sort of aging until the new 52 anyway. Now everyone supposedly had their time as Robin in the span of only a few years.

I was okay with the new 52 at first, but I miss the older DC Comics now. Nothing DC has done since 2011 has really amazed me to where the reboot has seemed necessary.

Yes. Swept so far under the rug that he currently has his own miniseries.
