in DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection (Eaglemoss Publications, 2015 series) #42 - Batman - Die Geburt des Dämons 1 ([November] 2015) Of course BSOTD cannot be read in isolation. Prior to this story, Batman has had a long relationship with Talia in the Batman monthly comics. He’s encountered Ra’s al Ghul many times before. BSOTD is only a possible resolution of the many dangling relationships between those characters. It’s an apotheosis of a long term build-up. Still, the Batman depicted in BSOTD is hapless and a pawn. Classic Batman

To the surprise of Batman, Talia introduced him to his son, a boy named Damian who she bore in secret and was raised by the League of Assassins. Talia placed him in the care of Batman as part of a grand scheme involving ninja man-bats and the kidnapping of the British Prime Minister's wife. Batman was unsure whether Damian was truly his son, but he attempted to deal with the spoiled, hot-tempered child anyway. Damian, effectively raised to be an assassin, killed a criminal and nearly killed Tim Drake, the newest Robin. Shortly afterwards, father, mother, and son confronted each other on a ship which was destroyed by a torpedo. Talia and Damian survived the explosion, but Damian was severely injured and underwent a transplant of all his major organs.Damian appears in the 2014 animated movie Son of Batman, voiced by Stuart Allen. He also appears in the sequels Batman vs. Robin, Batman: Bad Blood, Justice League vs. Teen Titans, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, Batman: Hush and Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. Over the course of the films, Damian becomes more integrated with his father's crusade and the Teen Titans, with him later establishing a romance with its version of Raven. Ra’s is “dying” and Batman gets infected with toxic waste in two plotlines that go nowhere, and Batman and Ra’s fight pointlessly at the end to no effect. Norm Breyfogle’s weirdly grainy art looks like it was coloured in crayon! Damian Wayne will appear in the upcoming live-action The Brave and the Bold film, set in the DCU. [113]

The corpse of "Batman" is in fact that of a perfect clone of Bruce Wayne that was created by Darkseid during the Final Crisis. Most of the clones were euthanized due to them being driven insane from the genetically inherited trauma of Bruce Wayne, but Darkseid claimed one perfect clone of Batman could be useful to him. The dead clone is in fact the body recovered by Superman in the climax of Final Crisis after Darkseid sent the real Bruce Wayne, alive and well, into the distant past with his Omega Sanction. His teammates are also unaware that he is working with Jason Todd, who goes by the alias Outlaw. [84] Due to a miscommunication, Damian can no longer trust him, which ultimately leads them to cut ties.Genetically perfected, and grown in an artificial womb, Damian was engineered to kill and replace his famous father," —Narrator.
