The son of Batman and Talia Al Ghul, Damian Wayne has been raised by his mother in the harrowing world of the League of Assassins. After a battle with her new ninja Man-bats at an art gallery Talia kidnapped the English Prime-Minster's wife and left Damian with Batman so he would slow down his work. As a spoiled and violent child, Damian at first had no respect for his father, Robin, Alfred or his war on crime. Robin was also angry about Damian and after informing Batman about The Spook holding the mayor hostage he storms off. Damian threw a fit when he had his sword taken and wasn't allowed to get a laptop. However after being shown his father's scary side he was soon put in his place and gain a true but misguided want to help his father.

Batman left to battle The Spook and after saving an undercover officer and the hostages he found The Spook's headless body. Tim returned to the cave and found Damain had escaped. After some more of Damain's attitude he said " Fight crime. I can do that. I fought crime tonight. Crime Lost". He showed Tim The Spooks head with a grenade in it. Damian detonated the grenade and began fighting Tim. During the fight Tim had to save Damian from almost being eaten by the robotic T-rex in the cave. After a short talk, Damian sucker-punched Tim and donned a Robin shirt and mask along with his assassin gear and a cloak and hood. He tracked down his father and the two rushed back. He freed Alfred and told him to help Tim.

After pleading with his father for help he told him his mother wanted a garrison at Gibraltar. After asking Kirk Langstrom for help Batman went after Talia (in a rocket Damian was know about). When they landed Damian and Batman battled his mother's Man-bat's. Batman was going to give the two another chance however the ship they were on was destroyed by a torpedo. Batman survived and found only Damain's cloak. While they both survived Damian required massive surgery and many organ transplants which his mother gathered. After taking Damian to Australia to learn of his grandfather's history from his servant the White Ghost.

However the White Ghost revealed that Damian was meant to be the vessel for the return of Ra's ah Ghul after his death. But Batman showed up to save Damian and the White Ghost accidentally died by failing into a Lazarus pit. After Ra's return he informs Damian that he wants to use his body as a replacement for his damaged one. He refuses and after battling his grandfather's ninjas leaves to inform his father. He also has a run in with Robin while searching for his father. After meeting Robin both of them are captured by Ra's Al Ghul. Ra's intends to use either of them as a new host and is going to force Batman to make the choice.

Batman instead offers his body to Ra's but Ra's refuses the offer, feeling he needs someone younger. Batman offers a third choice the "Fountain of Essence," which contains the qualities like those of the Lazarus Pit. Batman and Ra's go in search of the fountain, leaving Tim, Damian, Nightwing, Alfred and Talia to battle the Sensei. Damian leaves his mother and Tim for dead, while he goes off to be with his father. Unfortunately, he ends up being captured by Ra's and nearly loses his life to Ra's. Batman and the others manage to save him, and Talia takes her son and escapes. Their current whereabouts are unknown.

Battle for the Cowl

Gotham has gone to hell and Robin and Nightwing are trying their hardest to set it right, they have developed the Network, made up of their best allies to help. Robin and Squire tracked and were about to take down some robbers but before they could take them down some else does. Robin and Squire don't see the person but he leaves them a note saying " I AM BATMAN" but before anything can be said Nightwing call's Robin for back up with a gang. Meanwhile a van full of Gotham's most dangerous criminal is on its way to Arkham but the van is stopped by a small army of goons lead by the Black Mask. After the criminals are off the van Arkham is blown up by the Joker. Many criminals have realized that the Batman is no longer around. In the Bat-cave Nightwing is looking at all of Batman's different suits when Tim walks in saying that one of them [Tim or Dick] needs to become the new Batman, however Nightwing shrugs this off so Tim tells Dick about a man running around in a custom made Batman suit fighting crime [possibly Jason Todd], who is no beginner but experienced and knew what he was doing.



Tim uses his detective skills to work out where the phony Batman's hideout is, but Tim decides not to confrount the fake Batman as Robin but as Batman. he uses the silver age Batman suit. Meanwhile Damian is joy riding in a Batmobile with a friend when Oracle calls him to do a sweep of the docks. When Damian's friend starts talking, Oracle takes control of the car and presses the eject button on Damian's friend's seat. The girl goes flying into a small stream where Killer Croc and Poison Ivy are trying to track the Batmobile, Croc eats the girl then knocks the car off the road into the stream, Damian is terrified and tries to talk his way out of it, however Croc intends to eat Damian anyway. However Nightwing flies in on a hang glider and saves Damian, while they are flying they are shot out of the air. On the ground they are quickly surrounded by goons when the faux Batman comes in and shoots the goons.



Dick begins to fight the phony Batman, while their fighting Dick revels he knows who the Phony Batman is Jason Todd, Jason shoots Damian in the chest then flees the fight. Back at Black Masks hide out and is planning to blow up Gotham police headquaters with Firefly and Adam Bomb menawhile Tim [dressed in the Silver Age Batman suit] has found Jason's Batcave but he is not alone, Catwoman has followed Tim thinking he was the one killing people. At the same time Dick discovers that Tim had taken the Bat suit.

Jason sneakes up on Catwoman and knocks her out. Tim and Jason begin to fight with Tim obliviously the better fighter out of the two but Jason uses his knowledge of his cave to lure Tim into a pit where he repeataly slashes him with a Batarang, in the middle of the fight Jason asks Tim to be his Robin but Tim refuses and picks up a crowbar a begins to beat Jason with it but Jason manages to stab Tim in the gut with the Baterang and leaves him to die.

With Gotham on fire Dick tells the network to hunt down the Black Mask while he goes looking for Tim. Back at the Bat-Cave Damian has recovered and wants to go out to help but Alfred tells him it�s time to earn his keep and gives Damian his suit [the classic Robin tunic with the League of assassins robs] and tells him to go with Squire and find Tim. With Penguin caught by the Police instead of making a move for the city Two-Face is forced to flee the city by the new Black Mask. Dick is deeply upset at his adopted brother�s disappearance and wont rest until he finds Tim. Dick manages to track Tim by using a old tracking device in the Bat-suit Tim was wearing to Jason�s cave wear he finds Tim�s cape and cowl hung on a cross Dick picks it up and is electrocuted, Jason appears but before the fight can begin Dicks uses a holographic message that Bruce recorded before his death.

The holographic Bruce says that Jason was his biggest failure and that he need to be repaired mentally, he continues to say that he loved him but it was a mistake to train him, Jason and Dick begin to fight but as with Jason�s fight with Tim, Jason is the lesser skilled fighter of the two but again Jason uses his knowledge of his cave and gadgets to try to beat his opponent but this time it doesn�t work Dick is going ballistic at Jason for telling him that Tim is dead.

In the tunnels of Jason�s cave a wounded but a very much alive Tim Drake [Wayne] makes his way out of the tunnels, he revels that he used a martial art technique called the possum reflex that Bruce taught him, the technique enables Tim to slow his heart rate to eight beats per minute which lead Jason to believe that he was dead but he says that it was the Bat-suits heavy armour that saved him.

Jason sets off bombs he laid in his cave, the explosions make all the tunnels cave in, Tim is to injured to move quickly and the ground collapse beneath him but before he can fall to his death Damian and Squire save him. The explosion forces Dick�s and Jason�s fight outside on to a moving train. Jason tells Dick that he is only mad at Dick because he didn�t take up the cowl so Jason did but Dick thinks Jason is only over-compensating for his past actions. Dick finishes the fight but his final blow is more powerful that he expected and sends Jason to the edge of the bridge, Jason only just hangs on, Dick tries to save Jason but Jason refuses to take his hand and lets go of the edge seemingly falling to his death.

A few days later a figure approaches the grand-father lock entrance to the cave below waiting for him are Alfred and Damian who has become the new Robin, so the question still remains who owns the mantle Dick or Tim? Who is the new Batman?





Skills
Damian is a skilled martial artist, has a keen intellect, is a skilled weapons user, escape artist and can mimic a person's voice all from his training in the League of Assassins.

Future
A possible future showed Damian becoming Batman after he is unable to save Batman from being killed by an unknown killer. Damian has some supernatural power, is willing to kill, has a cat he calls Alfred. He seems to have developed a rivalry with Commissioner Barbara Gordon (who strongly condemns his actions, claiming that he killed someone close to her). When asked why she hates him so she says "That monster was responsible for the death of... of a good friend. He can't be trusted." This Batman is darker than his father, more willing to injure and kill opponents if he judges it necessary to do so. and possesses some form of supernatural ability (most visibly, the ability to heal catastrophic wounds in moments). It is implied that, in this possible future, Damian made a literal deal with the Devil: his soul in exchange for the immortality and healing abilities he felt he needed to protect Gotham.
