its embarrassing not only how many of Damian's actual character-establishing stories Zdarsky didn't read, but also how many recent comics and big events that use the character he doesn't take into account.
in Knight Terrors, Damian spotted Insomnia-as-Bruce instantly and stabbed him. In Shadow War, Damian was excited to have a clone as his brother. in Zdarsky's own Batman, Damian immediately falls for Failsafe for telling him something that didn't even happen, and then is disgusted by the clone and finds Bruce helping him annoying
Like. Zdarsky. this is the current continuity, which must have informed your own stories. How do you not know/care about it?!

One of the smartest things I’ve ever heard about Babylon 5 and Londo’s arc is that Morden chooses Londo to work with because what Londo wants is inherently unachievable. He wants the Centauri Empire reformed and he wants it “all back the way it was.” But the nature of empire is that it was never the way its nostalgia merchants think it was; it was always a little shabbier, a little weaker, a little worse.
The glorious empire Londo pictures never existed and can never exist, and so he will always want more and more and more, always believing that his goal is just one more deal with the devil away.

I love how present Damian is in all of the crisis/events in dc! Like this man is not just Batman's sidekick and it shows I mean of course he won't have the same plot importance as dc trinity or whatever but this guy is shockingly relevant in almost every event (at least in the new52)
1. Dark Knights Metal
The teen titans go to the challengers mountain in Gotham and Damian somehow fucks off from his team (cannon fodder tbh) and ends up inside. There, he meets Green Arrow, Harley, Killer Croc and Nightwing and they fight their way into the (almost?) center. Damian kills dark robin and only through this do the good guys gain the knowledge that enemies can be killed by Nth metal which leads to their eventual victory. (Gotham Resistance)
2. Shadow War
This event kind of centers around Ra's Al Ghul, Talia Al Ghul and Slade after the Robin (2021) so it makes sense why Damian is a major character in it, basically Batman and Robin just kinda hop around trying to stop Talia and Slade from murdering each other. Anyway Damian has a humongous part in the conclusion where he manages to defeat the bad guy himself and Mary Sues his mother into not killing the guy who murdered Ra's. Also this event is kinda goofy where it ends in sunshine and rainbows (Slade is still alive and sets up Dark Crisis) (Ra's comes back as a ghost).
3. Dark Crisis
Dark Crisis gives Damian his little one shot where they portray him as both 12 years old and 34 years old. Anywho, Damian quickly says 'fuck you' to both Jon and Nightwing and goes on his own adventure where his team frees Justice Incarnate (which is the JL of the multiverse) and somehow unlock Dr Light's powers which she uses to stabilise the multiverse??? And don't let the team accomplishments fool you because Damian hacks into a cosmic tuning fork in an ape dimension to find the source of the Darkness??? (Please read Dark Crisis: The Dark Army, it is so good!!)
4. Lazarus Planet
Even the name of this event screams Damian... This event also starts off in Robin (2021) and is the biggest crossover Damian is at the center of. He starts off as a main antagonist where it's mostly a batfam event. Then, at the climax of the event, Damian is converted back to the hero's side when it becomes an international event. He's basically the main strategist and leader in fighting the god, King Fire Bull. There are a bunch of one-shots where heroes are struggling with new or a lack of powers which is why I say it's Damian's first big crossover event, additionally the entire batfam kind of revolves around him, being literally at his beck and call. The ending is also super sweet where Damian rallies the people of Gotham to revive Batman but he also kind of decided to kill Batman in the first place so that's not so sweet. I think this event, though not extremely well written, gives us a taste of what Damian would be like leading the JL (idk if it was plot convenience but everyone just agreed to following orders from a 15 year old) alongside Nightwing and Jon.
5. Night Terrors
In this Damian is revealed to have control over his dreams (which is crazy btw) and he goes to some monk to learn how to resist sleep? Anyway, while the other heroes are snoozing, Damian gets to team up with Deadman, Sandman and his father's unconscious body. It's the classic superhero story where he swoops in to rescue the two and they get the nightmare stone or something. Truthfully, I'm not too sure why they chose Damian specifically to play this role because I'm pretty sure any other hero would have been an okay substitute but I will never complain about Damian content.
This is just off the top of my head and I'm aware Beast World did happen but that event definitely needs its own post because I just absolutely adore it. Anyway, writers have been pushing for Damian to become a major character in DC and I really really hope he gets to be beside Nightwing and Jon when they inevitably (DC will never let them) take over.

“If that’s what it is, then that’s what it is,
Tumblr media
You’re probably right to just forget it,
Tumblr media
Let’s face it, you’ve worked so hard,
Tumblr media
And now you’re scarred, and free of any hope,
Tumblr media
I guess you should mope,
Tumblr media
Forget what you planned,
Tumblr media
Hey, I understand.”
