Is it true Batman has illegitimate children?

[X Knight]

Hey all........I'm not much of a comic book reader.....so I'm not up to speed on the Bat universe......

but....i've been hearing reports that Bats has an illegitimate child ( possibly 2 ).........

so.....i was just wondering if that is true? Has it been confirmed in the comics that Bats is indeed the Father?? Or is it just speculation???

Does Bats know of the children....and what has been his reaction?

And....who are the mothers?????

thanks...

Batman had a kid with Talia Al Ghul in Son of the Demon, which is being brought back into continuity with the story "Batman and Son" currently going on in the Batman title right now. The other one might be Catwoman's baby, but no one knows for sure who the father is yet.

It hasn't been confirmed that he's the father of Catwoman's child, but I think we're almost positive that he is the father of Talia's child, named Ibn. He now knows of both of them, he met Ibn in the last issue of Batman I think. He knows of Catwoman's child, but I don't think he's the father.

Actually, in the little strip at the end of the book previewing next issue, they call him Damien.

What do you guys think about Catwoman's child? I know one already said it wasn't Batman --- could be just about anyone. Probably a character that has yet to be introduced.

 

[The Question]

It's doubtful. Especially since Bruce and Selina were shown to have had sex a few issues before she was said to be pregnant.

 

[Mister J]

At one point, people were keen on Slam Bradley being the father of Catwoman's child. For some reason, that talk kinda died down.

Didn't Bruce have a child called Helena with Selina? was that Post-crisis?

 

[Mister J]

That was Helena Wayne, the Pre-Crisis/Earth-Two Huntress.

Pre-COIE.

Thanks guys, I wasn't sure...

MB: .......
MB: Okay, Morrison rocks and all that ****
MB: but that's just cheap
CConn: It's better than Ibn.
CConn: Hell...
CConn: Ralph is better than Ibn.
MB: Ibn was original. Damien is... The Omen.
MB: Then again
MB: maybe Talia has become satanic
CConn: We all know Scott would've rocked the hardest...
CConn: Scott Batman
MB: YES!
MB: That I agree with.
MB: For obvious reasons.
CConn: You were molested by Scott Baio as a child.

In my opinion, it is Batman. There are going to be some raging fanboys if Batman isn't.

Thought the same thing, too (The Omen part, not the molestion part at the end). Then, I got this idea--Damien sounds a lot like "demon," much like Ra's' title and what Batman disquises himself to be. Kinda cool, once you think about it.

Batman is probably one of the most brilliant man in his comic book universe. So how come he doesn't know how to use a bloody condom.

Maybe, Selina and Talia said they were on the pill. But they weren't so they could have children (biological clock is ticking) and get child maintenance from naive old Bruce. That actually happened to someone I knew.

you actually have to read Son of The Demon to understand what happened. I'd spoil it for you, but where's the fun in that? lol

Ain't he great, though?

Also, anyone know why they'd change his name to Damien, or could it be a mistake?

Haven't read Son of the Demon, but I heard the child was intended (not an accident). My post is more in reference to Catwoman - assuming Helena is his and not Slam Bradley (or whoever).

pre-crisis

I believe Batman had a child with Catwoman, she was the orignal huntress i believe...

He forgot to post the rest of the convo...

CConn (8/24/2006 11:12:24 PM): You were molested by Scott Baio as a child.
MB (8/24/2006 11:12:40 PM): I could see the explanation for the name being that he is the spawn of the devil, the spawn of the one who instills fear, the spawn of the Bat... Meaning Bruce
MB (8/24/2006 11:12:45 PM): Maybe Damien isn't so bad
