Damian Wayne was the genetically engineered son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul and the successor to the name Robin in the DC Universe.
Origin[]
Created as a son/clone of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul, Damian was trained to be a deadly assassin until Batman taught him a better was and he dedicated himself to fighting evil as the new Robin.
History[]
Damian Wayne's first Robin costume
Damian Wayne was born to the superhero Batman (secretly billionaire Bruce Wayne) and eco-terrorist Talia al Ghul. Made to take command of the League of assassins, he was raised by Talia and the league. Damian was trained to fight and kill since he came out of the artificial womb, he was a skilled martial artist as a small child and his mom dueled him every single day of his life until he beat her then she was ready to meet Batman. By the age of ten Talia left Damian in the Batman's custody to be trained by his father. He was spoiled, precocious,selfish and violent. Inside the Batcave he sucker punches and battles Tim Drake (the current Robin) to replace him as Batman's sidekick. Batman grounded him but he escaped wearing a modified version of the orignal Robin's costume and kills a villain. Even though he is a murderer and misguided he wants to help his father in the never ending war against crime.
When Batman was believed to be dead, Nightwing stepped in to train Damian and the two developed a strong bond.
