No one is more surprised than me that I like Damian. PARTICULARLY as a team with Nightwing. Damian with Bruce is uninspiring...Damian with Dick is both funny and kind of heartwarming. Damian and Dick appear to genuinely care about each other and Dick has the capacity to reach Damian in a way Bruce never can or will. One of the most affecting parts of Morrison's Batman and Robin for me was when Bruce came back and Damian asked, crestfallen, about the future. He LIKED being Robin under Dick...and they make a great inversion of serious Batman and spritely Robin.
Also, the New 52 is so dang confusing that it irritates. They should have done a total proper reboot....instead we're right back where we were after Crisis and then after Zero Hour, where no one can keep straight the actual continuity. When you only reboot 2/3rds of it, it just makes it harder to understand for fans and does nothing to help new/non-fans regardless.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
