Damian Wayne would be a secret Chat Noir Fan

Hear me out.

Damian is canonically a Manga and comic enjoyer (from what I've seen at least) and who owns a comic on the based on the tales of Ladybug Chat Noir canonically in the show??

Nathaniel and Marc.

So when Damian first got to know about both Ladybug and Chat Noir, it wasn't ever actually in person.

He doesn't even know they're actually real people and only knows about them through the eyes of Nathaniel and Marc's Manga comics.

Marc and Nathaniel had started a blog where they posted the adventures originally shortly after the duos first appearance, and the story was quick to gain traction for how realistic the superhero story was and the creativity behind their villain, so they get published into real life comics quickly after starting.

It became so popular that it reached outside France and to other continents where Damian gets his hands on it one day out of pure curiosity and because he has a habit of reading hero stories to compare to his own real life heroing he does. (Aka, critique them)

Damian reads the first story and absolutely adores it. He will never admit it out loud, of course, but reading about the adventures is honestly calming compared to living through the hero life he does on a daily basis.

The story is cliche in his opinion but relatable, and the writing is good but in a "kinda bad, childish" way. Damian sort of sees the comic itself as a fan of miraculous would here (horribly cliche and bad but not the worst show/comic ever).

And for Damian, Chat Noirs character reminds him a lot of his older brother Dick in a way. He's taunting, has heart, is determined, hopeful, and worst of all...

He's a pun prankster.

So Chat Noir wins him over pretty quickly just based on how he's written in the comics to mirror Nightwing (or at least that's what he's assuming since alot of the things Chat Noir has said mirror things Damians actually heard come out of Dicks mouth while on the field)

Anyways, bc of these things, Damian honestly just secretly thinks Chat Noirs cool as all hell.

He doesn't particularly enjoy the storyline all too much (particularly the way Ladybug and Chat Noir seem to obviously be dancing around each other romantically was super annoying) but he does really think Chat seems like he'd be a decent ally if he were real.

And his powers are just cool as fuck.

This all eventually leads to the Waynes taking a trip to Paris, France. One, for Batman to check in with the Justice League: Europe division and make sure everything was going all right.

And two, for Damians birthday gift, he got to choose the location for their next vacation and the things they'd be doing (Damian made them all stop at places in the comic and tons of musuems).

Damian also takes full advantage of the fact that Marc and Nathaniel are doing the first ever signing event in Paris for their comic the same week of the family trip.

It was all going well, honestly.

The perfect vacation until the Eiffle Tower caught on fire ten minutes before the comic signing by a deadly unknown monster and 2 suspiciously familiar looking people in familiar looking suits show up to take it down.
