Wayne, Damian

ダミアン・ウェイン

Damian Wayne is a superhero featured in American comic books published by DC Comics, created by Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert, typically in connection with Batman. Damian Wayne is the biological son of Bruce Wayne/Batman. His mother is Talia al Ghul, Batman's love interest, and his grandfather is the Batman villain Ra's al Ghul. Because the al Ghuls considered Bruce Wayne the ideal successor to their empire, Talia concealed his existence from Batman until Batman #656 (2006), after faking a miscarriage to his father and ending their marriage. Consequently, the character was originally intended to "kill and replace his famous father," as well as serve as a host body for Ra's al Ghul, thereby theoretically unifying the Wayne and Demon factions as planned by the al Ghuls. Damian is Bruce's youngest and only biological child in mainline DC continuity, having four older adopted siblings: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Cassandra Cain.
A prototype of the character first appeared as an unnamed infant in the 1987 story Batman: Son of the Demon, which was not considered canon at the time. Subsequently, various alternate universe stories explored the character's life, assigning him different names. In 2006, Grant Morrison reinterpreted the character as Damian Wayne and introduced him into the main continuity in Batman #655, the first issue of the "Batman and Son" story arc. Damian Wayne is the fifth character to take on the role of Robin, Batman's vigilante partner.
Damian, as a preadolescent, was left by his mother in the care of his father, who had been unaware of his existence. He is violent, self-important, and was trained by the League of Assassins, learning to kill at a young age, which strains his relationship with his father who refuses to kill. However, the Dark Knight does care for his lost progeny. Following the events of Batman R.I.P. and Batman: Battle for the Cowl, he assumes the role of Robin at ten years of age, thereby becoming the fifth person to use the Robin persona. He first worked with Dick Grayson before going to work alongside his father, upon the original's return to the role of Batman.
