Damian Wayne
- Voice Actor: Patrick Cavanaugh
In this show, Damian Wayne is presented as the son of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle rather than the illegitimate child of Bruce and Talia al Ghul. He is initially portrayed as being reluctant to follow in his father's footsteps, telling his parents that he doesn't want them to plot out his life for him. After Bruce and Selina are killed by the Joker's successor when he bombed the Batman Museum, Damian takes up the Robin mantle and fights alongside Dick Grayson (Bruce's protégé and the current Batman). Ultimately, the two bring the new Joker and the original, aged Joker to justice and save Gotham from a poison gas attack. The episode ends with an elderly Dick passing on the Batman mantle to Damian, who is shown fighting crime with his own son as the new Robin. It ultimately turns out that the events of this episode were part of a book that Alfred Pennyworth was writing titled "The Knights of Tomorrow". Damian later appears in The All-New Batman: The Brave and The Bold issue 13. When Batman gets killed, Phantom Stranger assembles, Nightwing, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Damian, Stephanie Brown, and Carrie Kelly to save Batman. Damian makes a reference to Jason's death because when Nightwing is trying to rally the Robins, Jason turns to leave but Damian threatens him by making sure his future happens much sooner. Damian also makes a jab about girls not being allowed to be Robin to Stephanie and Kelly which is a reference to Stephanie's short tenure as Robin and not given a memorial in the Batcave which Damian thinks its because she wasn't a real Robin. Nightwing also makes a comment on Damian's brutal fighting style. Nightwing leads the Robins the League of Assassins HQ to put Batman in the Lazarus Pit. When the League finds them, Damian attempts to stop them until he realizes that he isn't born yet and they don't recognize him. Ra's allows them to put Batman in the pit, not wanting Batman to die an unrecognizable death. Ra's hoped that the pit would drive Batman insane and kill the Robins, but Batman snaps out of it.

Famous quotes containing the word wayne:
“If men could menstruate ... clearly, menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event: Men would brag about how long and how much.... Sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free. Of course, some men would still pay for the prestige of such commercial brands as Paul Newman Tampons, Muhammed Ali’s Rope-a-Dope Pads, John Wayne Maxi Pads, and Joe Namath Jock Shields—”For Those Light Bachelor Days.””
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
