Confession, as a DC Comics Fan:
I don't like the shippings Damian Wayne had over the years. Not anymore, at least.
For awhile, I've been seeing a TON of Damian Wayne stuff related to ships on the internet. From big ones like Damirae or Damijon to smaller ships like Damian x Cassie or Damian x Djinn or Damian X Emiko. Then there was Damian and Flatline (or Nika) that became recently canon in the comic run, Lazarus Tournament (check it out, I think its cool). These ships had a fair share of fans and I've been one of them.
Until... I eventually grew out of it. Why?
Cause as I grew older, I'm getting a change of taste and a refreshed perspective of things, you know? So, with how much research I gather from Damian's character and these ships, opinions change. Some I lost likeness than I usually did. Some I got bored with overtime. Some, I just didn't care for as much. Lemme clarify, I still think some ships are likable than others, especially their dynamics with Damian as a character. But when I look between the characters he interacts with and their histories... It kinda makes me wonder... Does it really work? Are they worth it?
First, lemme start with the demon birds: Damirae. Damian x Raven. This was the first Damian Wayne shipping I discovered as a fan of the DC Animated Movie Universe. I watched JLVSTT (terrible title) to TT:JC to Apokolips War and ultimately... I was hooked. These characters could relate and they had such heartfelt and bittersweet tragic terms with the storyline. I cried when they shared their first AND final kiss (don't judge, I'm sensitive, 😭). This ship was my first and I fell in love with it! Plus, these characters have always been and will always BE my favorite in any DC storyline.
As I got older and learned more about them in other continuities, I grew a change of philosophy... I DON'T THINK IT WORKS. Hold on! Before Damirae fans explode! Hear me out. I see the appeal. They're similar in experience and personality, the idea of Damian, being the Grandson of the Demon's Head, dating a literal demon sounds cool (even if Rae wasn't originally a demon-). There's a lot in terms of age and direction with storylines I can see being a problem. Though, from how I see things and I say this from personal experience; similarities will not always be great in relationships. Their personalities just don't bounce each other off well for me. Additionally, I feel like some fanfics between this ship just don't do their characters justice. In a short question I've had with another user, I can say, I agree that some fans interpret this romance like a demon x angel dynamic. Like, Damian being into taking over the world while Raven is easily swayed on joining such pursuit. While the idea is... interesting, it does bug me a bit. It doesn't suit well with their characterization in my eyes. Plus, I feel like in other continuities, Raven, in character, would either,
1. Not like his personality.
2. Act as some sort of sympathetic sibling/mentor to him.
Honestly, number two sounds more fun and has potential in my eyes. 💜
Second, the one and only super sons; Damijon. Damian X Jon. These two are my ✨ world ✨. I've followed up with their comic storyline through YouTube (I have yet to snatch the comics-) and WOW they are just so, SO entertaining to watch! Jonathan Kent was super adorable (get it?)! Damian was a little troll but I love it! The movie was also spot on — the animation, the writing, the characters, the moments were just dynamite pure! I will love these two with a passion till the day I die! However, as much as I love these boys in all my heart and soul, I DO NOT ship them. It's cute but I just don't see them being anything more than friends, to be honest. 🦸
Third, the recent grave birds: Damiline. Damian X Flatline. OMG, I liked Flatline! I thought she was so cool! Not to mention, her power to absorb the abilities of warriors she's killed has so much potential. Sure, there were times when I thought moments of her were unnecessary or annoying, but she definitely caught my eye because she was just that fun! Her relationship with Damian was... interesting enough. I do feel like the romance was there because they were in a literal death tournament... if you know what I mean. It felt rushed. Plus, she kinda betrayed him later on. I'm surprised we didn't get a reaction from Damian to this too. Eventually, I looked into Flatline's solo issue in New Evolution. I feel like this issue in particular is where Flatline considers Damian as an afterthought. It was also this line that stood out the most for me — "We'll see how long that lasts". This could mean their relationship may one day end short. And I believe Flatline is just as aware of this too. BUT. I don't think this is a bad thing. It could allow opportunities for her to develop without always being in a romantic role. I like the character, I just don't see this working for too long. It feels like the writers were trying to throw a goth x goth romance for the sake of the plot. 💀
I hear Flatline's coming back, though! I'm excited to see her return!
Fourth, Damian X Cassie Sandsmark (Wonder Girl). This originated from the DCeased storyline, where the world suffered a zombie-like apocalypse thanks to Cyborg bringing the Anti-Life Equation to Earth. Though... To me, she just seemed like another "Jonathan Kent" best friend, than anything else. Probably just me. If there were more interactions, maybe I'll reconsider. 🦸
Fifth, Damian X Djinn. Now, I thought this had potential. They did seem genuine with each other and had nice conversations. Though, if the pedophile part wasn't involved (Djinn being an immortal deity), I'd probably give it a chance. But I don't really ship it because of that fact. 😓 🧞‍♀️
And finally, Damian X Emiko Queen (Red Arrow). I don't see much appeal to this ship. They had similarities, sure, but... that's about it. Damian just had a brief "stalker-crush" and that was gone. So, not much to be said there. Like I mentioned before, if there were more interactions between them, maybe I'll consider. For now, it's not for me. 🏹
This will be where my confession comes to an end. These are my thoughts and opinions. You guys don't have to agree with me but that's just how I see these ships regarding Damian Wayne as a character. Arguments are welcome in the comments. I'm fascinated by these juicy conversations!
Anyways, have fun! And I hope you enjoyed my post. Have a good day!

As like all my other hcs I wrote this on my phone (actually wrote this while at work but let’s not this about that too hard). I wanted to go into more detail, but thought that’ll make it confusing and just choose to do it like this.
This is just something I think about when overwhelmed bc it’s helps distract me. I mostly think about it from a jondami perspective bc why not.
I might do more about this, if 5 ppl like this. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense :(
Enjoy!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reverse Batfam hc
Duke was the first adopted after his parents died from the joker
he’s still “the signal” but that’s a little later”
Damian joins in after, he’s the oldest of the Wayne kids
Duke looked up to Damian and was a little self conscious of his place in the family
he ended up getting g shot by joker and became oracle (he still calls himself the signal)
Jon is 3 years older then Damian
they met the same way with Damian trying to kidnap him to fight
they didn’t really say they were friends but they were friends
they form the teen titans when Damian was 14
the members are raven and beast boy ofc, then Colin and jon, and maps….kathy, maya, djinn II and Conner queen joining later
Jon is the oldest
Jon started dating Jay (Damian had a crush on Jon)
they broke up later and Damian was in a secret relationship with Colin (not really secret they just never out right said it)
Jon left the team after he graduated high school wanting to focus more on school
(the team kinda disbanded a little after with Kathy taking over for a bit)
Damian gave up being Robin after getting in a fight with Bruce
Joined a cult fight ring where he met back with Conner and met flatline
him and Colin also broke up (it was mutual with just a bit of awkwardness)
Tim became Robin after finding out Batman’s identity and the little shit was so desperate he put his family in danger just to get Batman’s attention (fucking dumbass)
Damian comes back to Gotham with a new Robin and he goes to Jon bc Jon was his comfort
they formed the titans again (with the added few)
Kon is born and Jon learns to be a big brother
He also makes it a good idea to introduce kon and Tim
Damian does not like Tim
he regrets it after Tim is kidnapped by the joker and is tortured to becoming joker Jr and ended up falling to his death
anyways he dies and Damian regrets not being there to at least help guide him
Bruce is destroyed, he was just starting to like Tim and his company only for that to happen to him (he didn’t really accept Tim bc of how he put himself in danger and only took tim in bc his parent were in hiding in another country) (imagine the phone call they got)
Kon also dies around this time
Jon and Damian pull apart from the team and eachother
Jon forced to become Superman after his father dies from doomsday
Damian “retiring” from heroing and going back to the legue of assassins
(he’s actually to keep an eye on his grandfather)
Bruce meets Jason and takes him in
he doesn’t tell Jason about Batman but Jason is a smart kid so he finds out eventually
Bruce is more protective over Jason so he doesn’t make him Robin right away
Damian comes back right on time when Bruce starts training Jason, he heckles Bruce a bit but starts train Jason as well so whatever happened to Tim never happens with him
Jason and Damian become a bit more closer
Stephanie joins the family as batgirl
She was friends with Tim when he was still alive
she met Batman the same way in the comics
Cassandra was adopted before Tim and was batgirl for a while until she was shot in the leg (she’s fine just was benched for a while)
Damian and Taven start dating
and Raven ends up pregnant (more on that later)
Damian and her broke up before find out tho and that’s when him and Jon were getting closer
Tim comes back to life bc ra’s Al Goul (?) wanted to use his body as a vessel and even trained him
Tim lost his memory after coming back to life, but gain it slowly through time
Fully comes back when kon comes back to life and rushes over to get Tim out before Tim’s soul can be switched
then ended up blowing up the base while escaping
They join a life of crime with Tim going through his mad scientist/villain arc
him and Jon got a Bonnie and Clyde thing going on
Also tried to kill Jason after coming back to Gotham bc he felt like Jason didn’t deserve to be Robin
Speaking of Gotham, he try’s to come back looking for his parent, only to find out they were killed by the riddler (of all ppl) and that kicked off his villain arc
Jon finds out about Kon being alive and when he asked kon why he’s doing the thing he’s doing, Kon’s just like “I rather be with Tim then the person who left me to die”
it kills Jon bc he tried everything he could to protect Kon that day but got there too late
it’s worse for jon bc he’s still grieving over the lost of Damian, and running tge titans again with the addition of Bart, kara, Cassie, and cissie
man’s is stresssd to no end
Back to Damian, he’s not actually dead, he got sent to the underworld by his grandfather after he failed the soul switch, so Ra’s went back to his og choice of a vessel.
Raven ends up having her baby, (it’s a girl), they name her Lilith bc I’m so original
She look like raven with Damian’s hair and eyes (what baby is 75% demon and the rest human)
Damian comes back to the earth (4years older, even tho only a year has passed since he’s “died”)
the catch up is insane
him and Jon start dating and they co parent with raven and bb to raise Lilith
Tim has also calmed down after Damian smacks him to his senses
he’s still a little shit and now helps the batfam with any tech things
imagine Jason but more off his rockers then homicidal
Dick is the last to join, and he’s just a ball of sunshine
Damian gains an attachment to him (mostly bc he’s only 3-4 years older then his daughter)
did I mention Damian is such a good dad bc he’s such a good dad
Dick and Lilith are spoiled by the whole family even Tim
the rouges would think more the twice then to mess with them (they do not want to get on Tim’s bad side)
Dick is also start to create his own team of young justice with Wally, Roy, Lilith, Donna, and Garth
also Jon and Damian are engaged
Ages!!
Damian - 28 (supposed to be 24) (the oldest)
Duke - 22 (second oldest)
Tim - 21 (physical, mentally he’s 19) (legally died at the age of 14)
Jason - 16 (try’s so hard to be edgy and is getting closer to tim)
Dick - 13 (the youngest)
Cass - 15
Steph - 17
Lilith - 9-10
Kent:
Jon - 26-27
Kon - 21 (technically 9)
Kara - 19
Others:
Raven, Kathy, Djinn, Jay, and bb - 25-26
Colin, Maps, Maya, Conner -23-24
Bart - 22
Cassie and cissie - 20
Wally, Roy and Donna - 11-12
Garth - 13
(I think that’s everyone I mentioned)
Names!!!
Damian - Ghoul
Duke - signal
Tim - Red
Jason -Redwing
Dick - robin
(Damian was never Robin bc that name was originally dick’s, it’s what his parent would call him, so I don’t think they’ll use Robin if Dick was never the first robin)
(Bruce used batkid bc he’s so original)
Seph is spoiler, to batgirl back to spoiler
Cass is batgirl, to blackbat
