Batman And Son

[jaydawg]

But the dialogue, its just so bad.....

 

[CConn]

It is? I thought the best thing about the first issue was the dialogue. I won't say the three other issues were quite as memorable, but I didn't notice anything particularly bad, and they had a few good zingers as well...

Alfred: Allow me to show you to your temporary quarters, young sir.
Damian: **** you!
Alfred: Ahh... memory lane.

If anything brings the story down, it's that Damian's such a bastard. But then, that's what he's supposed to be. That's what makes sense for him to be...given his upbringing. And for that, I can forgive it.

God, I hate that kid already, based on those pages. I hope he doesn't stick around after Morrison is done.

 

[Dope Nose]

Say what you will about pre-IC of Batman, but he'd never allow a killer in his ranks.

um, Cassandra Cain?

 

[droogiedroogie2]

I didn't state it as a good thing or a bad thing, just as an observation based on the present nature of this kid. Of course if Batman was to train him over the next 20 years, he could take on the mantle of the Bat better than anyone, including Tim.

I'll have to disagree with you there. His formative years have been spent learning to kill and accept nothing but one's own will. He won't unlearn that.

Quit dishonoring your sensei with this senseless rage.

I hope he's dead by the end of next issue.

um, Cassandra Cain?

Extenuating circumstances in the extreme.

Although I just realized that almost completely ****s on my argument that a child who learns killing can't be redeemed. But it narrowly escapes this, because Cassandra turned out to be a heinous murdering b1tch anyway! Never thought I'd be greatful for that turnaround...thanks for covering my argumentative back, DC!

Cassandra Cain never decapitated anyone under Bats tutleage. Her whole life (pre IC ) was based on repenting for that one kill. Besides, with her age factoring on what happened, its easy to see why Bats accepted her. While Damien spent his whole life under the training of assassins, he killed someone while with Bruce.... and Bruce seemed far more concerned with Robin that one of his boys breaking his most sacred rule. Don't tell me I'm the only one rolling my eyes at this?

 

[Eros]

Damien talks like a character from All-star Batman.

 

[CConn]

To me, it doesn't seem like Damian is in "Batman's ranks" at all. By the time Batman discovers that he's a killer, Batman hardly seems to still consider him anew member of the Bat-Gang.

 

[Tropico]

Was that Damian kid raised by figure skating assassins? Murdering ballerinas? IT's what his clothes remind me of.

what about Azrael? he was responsible for Abattoir's death and yet Batman allowed him back into the fold during the Agent of the Bat run of Azrael's own series.

He was crazy and under the influence of a crazy ghost.

Dude, that happens on these boards like all the time.

 

[Darthphere]

As much as I love Grant Morrison, I have to say.... this is the ****test Batman story since Hush Returns. Not only is Bruce's son a pathetic little ****, but he's just a huge can of worms. Ninja Man-Bats are one really stupid idea too. And could Batman be more out of character? Say what you will about pre-IC of Batman, but he'd never allow a killer in his ranks. Regardless of a son or not. If theres any superhero that should have had a kid OYL, its Superman. Or at least have that kid be Bruce and Selina's.

*slow claps* Thank you.:heart:

I'll have to check this out. I agree with some of the arguments for both sides, so I'll have to judge for myself if it's good. Unfortuanately right now I'm suffering from Avatar envy. DM's is so much bigger than mine

 

[sinewave]

i'm liking this arc, especially the ninja man-bats. i'll wait to see what happens in the final issue of this arc before i pass judgement on whether or not i like batman having damien for a son. if he sticks around he could make a great hero or villain, depending on whether he's really batman's son and if batman is able to help him change his ways.

edit. double post.

the kids a hanking for a spanking

Damien is really Razz al ghul in a kids body lol,i remeber a simliar thing happened in the Batman Beyond animated series. When Razz had possed his daughters body years ago, after his own body was destroyed. so Razz in Talia's body tricked old Bruce Wayne, makeing him want to get his youth back in the Laz Pit. Later Razz finally revealed himself, much to the shock and utter disgust of a rejuvanted Bruce Wayne. Razz planned on posseing Bruce's now younger Body and then passing himself[In Bruce's Younger Body] off as the illegitimate son of Bruce Wayne and Talia. Ofcourse The new Batman Terry Mcginnes and Bruce stopped him. I beleive that episode of Batman Beyond was called "Out of the Past" it is one of my favorite episodes of the show to. I dought thats the case with Damien though, but it was just something that would be mind blowing and rather weird.

That's pretty much what I've concluded as well.
