#That’s also why it’s so important for Damian to have some more civilian esc friends like Colin

Damian shouldn’t be a hero. Or at least not in the future when he’s all grown up. His whole story is that he’s this godlike being that’s learning to be human, which is in contrast with the rest of his family; humans become so much more and becoming godlike. While the rest of the Batfam abandons and leaves behind civilian life Damian is reaching out for it. They look for extraordinary, but he’s finally finding ordinary. And while I like him becoming Nightwing, becoming his own hero, or taking over the LoA and turning it around to be something more morally light, him not being any of those things brings me so much joy. Because I don’t think any of those things would make him truly happy and I think he deserves a happy ending. His whole story is him becoming a “real boy” and him not stepping away from the hero life feels like a betrayal of that.

#damian wayne #dc robin #batfamily #batfam #this also lead me into my thoughts on Tim #B/c Tim’s whole thing was that he was the Robin with the civilian life #and when they (dc) abandoned that they no longer knew what to do with him #And that why Barnard is so important it’s going back to a core characteristic of his character #I feel after Bernard was reintroduced Dc finally know or at least kinda knows what to do with Tim now #That’s also why Damian’s relationship with Tim is so important b/c one of Tim’s core is civilian or “normal” life #And the same can be said with Duke but Dc seems to forget he exists and has a civilian life #That’s also why it’s so important for Damian to have some more civilian esc friends like Colin #B/c Colin while not completely civilian is mostly civilian and can allow Damian to dip his toes more into civilian life
