Meet the hero of the animated movie Merry Little Batman, Batman’s son Damian Wayne!
But comic book readers first met Damian under very different circumstances.
The name of that story?The Son of the Demon.
So which is it?
Is Damian Wayne the son of the demon or the son of the bat?
The reunion didnt go well.
So when Damian shows up at Wayne Manor, he isnt the good-hearted kid shown inMerry Little Batman.
The murderous Damian played a major role in direct-to-video animated movies such asSon of BatmanandBatman vs. Robin.
In theHarley Quinnseries, Damian is a snotty, entitled Robin, voiced by Jacob Tremblay.
As these examples show, Damian can be very mutable, a quality that he shares with his father.
Because most people dont after Gunn made Ego his father inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol.
That means fans may have to steel themselves for yet another take on Damian Wayne.
And thats not a bad thing.
But then Damian presses a button and the suit tightens up, fitting him perfectly.
The image provides a fitting metaphor for dealing with superhero adaptations.
The story might not seem like a good fit for a character you know.
But if you give it some leeway, then something exciting can happen.
Merry Little Batmanis available to stream on Prime Video now.
