"They said it could never happen..."
 
   LAST EDITED ON Jun-10-26 AT 09:39 PM (EDT)
 
... somebody finally wrote a version of Damian Wayne I don't completely hate.

The version in Tom King's Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman is still an asshole, make no mistake. He's just as rude, abrasive, and generally obnoxious as he ever was...

... but grouped with a version of Jon Kent who just (usually-)cheerfully ignores his misanthropy and his delusions of adequacy except to riff on them mercilessly, and an Amazon princess who thinks of them both as her dopey big brothers, he's actually kinda tolerable. At the very least, he makes Jon and Lizzie funnier by being there for contrast. :)

Also, I dig the adult version's take on the Batman costume, but don't tell him I said that. His head's big enough as it is.

It gives moderate Gotham by Gaslight vibes, and that's my favorite version of the Batsuit ever.

King doesn't get credit for that one. It's just the Batman #666 outfit from 2007.

   Is this the series where Damian tries to teach Lizzie how to tie her shoes?

That's a very cute scene, although I imagine that whoever taught him that mnemonic is also the person who taught him to improvise a garotte from a pair of shoelaces.

Also, I like that Jon knows better than to stick around when Lizzie learns a word she shouldn't have.

Yup.

I just checked, and he says his mother taught it to him, so... that tracks.

(He also goes on to note, quite casually, that though he got it right the first time, he failed to tie his shoes correctly on his next attempt, causing his grandfather to lock him in a box in the desert for a week without food or water.)

LIZZIE
That's sad.

DAMIAN
Is it? I don't know. I remember him laughing. He wasn't sad.

Which is... actually kind of genuinely tragic. I don't deny that Damian has reasons for being such a jagged piece of human wreckage.

>Also, I like that Jon knows better than to stick around when Lizzie
>learns a word she shouldn't have.

Lois didn't raise no fool.
