Does anyone else not like the way Damian is drawn in the new Batman and Robin comic ????

Like, after his solo Robin series, I just cannot look at him like that. He looks almost exactly like Jon.

Where is his tan skin ??? His green eyes ??? HIS HOOKED NOSE ???? They took away everything that made his design cool and interesting and new and pretty and also just like a huge part of his ethnicity.

It just bothers me so much like I want to read the comic bc it does seem pretty interesting but Damian’s design is making it soooooo hard. It extra sucks bc the art style is amazing. I actually love the way Bruce is drawn and also White Rabbit is super cool. Damian is just throwing me off so hard like that’s literally not him that’s Tim or Jon or Dick but that isn’t Damian Wayne/AL GHUL like tf look at this

He’s pretty yah, whatever, now look at this:

THESE ARE NOT EVEN THE SAME FUCKING PEOPLE ???? It’s not even a difference in art style bc there was plenty of variations in art style in the Robin series but he still had his main features I mentioned earlier.

Idk call me a nitpicker or smth but this bothers me so much if it doesn’t change at some point I don’t think I will be able to read the new Batman and Robin series.

Damian's high school adventures are SENDING ME, this poor tortured baby assassin has to pretend to be NOT BE A BABY ASSASSIN and so the other kids bully him and HE CAN'T EVEN CUT OFF ANY OF THEIR LIMBS all he can do is stalk the principal that he KNOWS is one of his former League teachers, all while dealing with HIGH SCHOOL, I'm in tears, I'm sorry Damian, it's just really funny to watch you try to deal with this nonsense when you were raised to have your grandfather take over your body and rule the world or whatever. HIGH SCHOOL IS WORSE THAN THAT and that's hilarious.

OHHHHH THE BURNNNN GET REKT BRUCE you deserved it

Jokes aside, I'm really happy that Damian isn't blaming himself anymore. Because Alfred's death was never his fault to begin with.

It was all Bruce's plan to send Damian in Gotham. To be the hostage of Flashpoint Batman and Bane. He sent his own son to be a HOSTAGE of two villains!!! Two, infamously, ruthless and blood-thirsty villains.

He still had the gall to blame Damian for Alfred's death. Even though it was his own half-baked, terrible plan. Damian was already feeling so much guilt, for a situation that he couldn't do anything about. He was the victim here but he still blamed himself so much.

So, I'm so so so happy to see Damian not blaming himself and finally realising it was Bruce's fault.

Also, side note: Damian volunteering in a hospital is one of the best things ever!!!!!! My son!!!!! Look at him!!!! He will become a doctor!!!!

(And that little girl :( noo Damian don't be sad 😢)

This new Chapter of Batman & Robin is amazing in so many ways. It's plagued with things I cannot begin to say what I love about it, but I'll try anyway.

Spoilers ahead

First: Guilt.

He feels guilty for the events of past chapters. He did his best, but as you know, you cannot always save everyone. His guilt doesn't only come from feeling unprepared but also from his own attitude. Again, PKJ is doing a great job giving Damian personality while making him grow organically. He did something and he's facing the consequences of that. He was mean to someone unpromptedly and that person had an accident that he could have avoided but by being mean he also felt like he was responsible. This guilt is making him do things outside his regular personality. Is it bad? No, he's making changes for good without losing his personality but gaining new attributes and different ways of seeing the world.

Second: Growing, charitability?

Again, guilt is making him do things outside, but also reading about Thomas Wayne, a man who was well-known for helping others. This t the same it feels like this is a recon mission. Again very much Damian, doing certain things just to gather information but it feels like he's in a way understanding Thomas and his way of doing things. Damian has great traits that come from Ra's but combined with Thomas will make Damian a great person. (Ra's want a better world but his methods aren't the best but he does it for a better good.)

I really like this. Damian has never been a bad person but he had never gone to the point of helping outside the costume. He helps people but there's also that feel that he likes fighting (not killing) and the adrenaline and this change, feels like the better but it doesn't feel like he's gonna stop being sassy and snarky at points but a little more mindful of when he tends to be like that. Not a bad thing in my opinion but an actual natural growth and understanding from him.

Third: Accountability.

As he tries to mend his mistakes, the fact that for the first time, he's blaming Bruce for what happened to Alfred makes me so happy. He is taking accountability for his own actions when Bruce hadn't done the same, and he's learning not only from himself but from Bruce.

Damian is trying to learn what to do in his life, what he wants to do, not follow what Bruce does or what his mother and grandfathers (yes, plural) did, in a way it feels like leaving the mantle or stopping being a vigilante. He had died, he had seen things and it is understandable that at any point he questions everything and you know Bruce is not the best example, sometimes barely able to manage both lives and risking his life when he could just ask for help or when he needed rest and I wouldn't blame Damian if he wanted to have a healthy balance from both lives.

The last pages show a Batman depending on Robin, both should have spares, not only one of them. Bruce cares about Damian and he's worried about the changes shown in him, but honestly, worried about him skipping school, come on, he hated it there; patrols, okay that's new. There's a gap between them and there's miscommunication and they share fucking nothing about each other and I hope this time this can change. Damian might feel this as something to be ashamed of. Some way of weakness in him and he has to deal with it. He wanted to talk but he did not talk at all about what was worrying him also Bruce hadn't shared what he knows and the relationship has to go both ways.

Crying at Damian's chemistry teacher saying, "It's okay to be a helicopter parent a little bit, Mr. Wayne." like ma'am have you MET Bruce Wayne? He is not a helicopter parent, he is sooooo far beyond that, he a military-grade personal fighter jet parent, A BATPLANE PARENT IF YOU WILL.
