I know I'm the only one here. But I like Damian. Why?

Because you can totally fucking tell he's Bruce's son. He just needs to gain a (sardonic) sense of humor and it's a perfect match.

[toasty_fresh]

Are you kidding? I love Damian!

[perletwo]

For me it's a matter of him needing to grow into his personality. He's so preternaturally adult it triggers an Uncanny Valley reaction in me. The times I've liked him best are the little moments when that's cracked a bit and we've seen him being kidlike - reaching out to pre-Scarlet Sasha, for instance.

I do like him a little better now that he has the status and sanction of the Robin mantle. Before he was all cheek and presumption; now he's applying all that to just doing the job.

[jelly_ace]

Among many other things, I say.

[puddlejumping]

I didn't like him at first, but that changed pretty quickly. He still has a tendency to be an annoying brat, but he's a ten year old boy so that's not surprising at all.

[box_in_the_box]

On the other hand, I fucking despise him, because he hasn't earned the right to that I'm-so-badass attitude that he's sporting.

He can't be humbled soon or hard enough for my taste.

[aaron_bourque]

I don't know why, but I'm cackling madly at this.

Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; maybe I just need to go to sleep.

[ravenous_raven]

was it the "spank" line? shame on you scans_daily, for not picking that up. unless that's just because that's more of Dick's area of expertise? ;)

[foxhack]

Aha

Ahahaha

Damian looks like a freakin' CABBAGE PATCH KID

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[celestialchild]

OMG YOU THOUGHT THIS TOO

scans_daily is no joke.

[cmdr_zoom]

He's the goshdarn Batkid.

[box_in_the_box]

Exactly. He's the child of Frank Miller's portrayal of Batman, which has become the one portrayal of Batman that I now hate most.

[sun_man]

Damian rules.

Honestly his dynamic with Dick is great. these two are the heart and souls of the Bat family right now

[supergirl]

DAMIAN MAKES MY OVARIES SCREAM.

I want to mother him with chicken noodle soup and hand-knitted scarves and sweaters. I am slightly worried by this.

LOL, don't worry, you are not alone!

Why am I now hearing Michael Jackson in my head?

[box_in_the_box]

It depresses me that I seem to have become the lone voice of remaining Damian hatred.

The little fucker cannot get fridged quickly enough for me. I've always find his type of attitude utterly intolerable in adult superhero characters, so why should I put up with it in a 10-year-old kid? He's everything I hated about '90s "heroes," in Mini-Me form.

Bruce Wayne already has two sons - Dick Grayson and TERRY FUCKING MCGINNIS.

[kagome654]

Does it have to be fridging? I'd hate to think that's the only solution (what about better writing?). It's hard for me to accept that a character is so messed up that an unpleasant idea like fridging a new(ish) child character is considered the best way to 'solve' the problem.

[schala_kid]

I like how after the team-up Guardian is all "Don't come back to Metropolis" and I also like how he won't call him Robin because in Guardian's eyes he has to earn the right to that name.

I know these two will probably not team-up again but gosh I hope they do, I kind of liked their dynamic together.

[batgirl]

I absolutely love Damien...

But not in this art.

[nezchan]

What's Damien got to do with the hydrocephalic midget in the scans here?

It's like one of the Rugrats a few years older and doing cosplay.

[psychopathicus_rex]

I can't really comment on this properly, because only the first scan was readable for for me - but I WILL say that this is one of the first interpretations of Damian I've seen that actually makes him look like a little kid.

[jlroberson]

?
I thought Quitely did OK by him.

[perletwo]

woops. I just realized this has the wrong Guardian tag - James MacDonald Hudson is Major Maple Leaf. Or was. I can't keep track of the goings-on in Marvel Canada.

[grazzt]

I fixed it, assuming Jim Harper is the right Guardian.

And James was never Major Maple Leaf. Either Guardian or Vindicator.

[jlroberson]

Say, whatever happened to the Guardian from SEVEN SOLDIERS?

Oh right. Not white. And this is DC.

[hero_of_lallor]

for a company known to off white heroes and replace them with minorities that argument doesn't hold up.

[taggerung301]

heh, I love how Damian's trying to look so tough on that first panel

[theanswer]

I love Damian now. He's such a little bastard. <3

[glitterandlube]

SHIT I KIND OF LAUGHED. It's kind of hilarious that he just breaks shit. And his little tiny grr face.

I am going to the dark side.

[filthysize]

I've loved Damian since the beginning, so I'm glad to see that a lot of people are turning around. He's an entertainingly impetuous little fucker.

[ladydouji]

I'll admit I'm not a huge Damien fan but he is growing on me(like an annoying fungus) but then I have a hard time hating characters.

I do hope that when Bruce comes back he reveals that the dna test shows him not to be Damien's father.

[hurricane-jam.livejournal.com]

Soooooooooo, Guardian's not going to get to spank Damian is he?


pity.

Daddy didn't spank you enough as a child.

[ian_karkull]

What an excellent excuse to use this icon!

In other news, Damian kicking Guardian's smug, pointless face in makes me like him even more.

[keeni84]

TBH why do we need Damian again?
