Damian Wayne is the son of Talia Algoor and Bruce Wayne. He works with Batman as his partner Robin, and this is the story of how Damian Wayne died. This story takes place in the 2012 comic book Batman Incorporated. Parts of this story continue for our 13 issue run, but Damian Wayne's death is in the 8th issue. Basically, Talia Algoor has controlled the global crime organisations, the League of Assassins and Love Iufford. She wants to rule the world with Batman by her side, and with Damian Wayne has her heir to their empire. But when Bruce Wayne declines the offer, and Damian Wayne does the same, Talia goes pretty much insane. She has Damian Wayne cast out of her family and creates a replacement called Heretic, who was a clone of Damian grown in an artificial womb to adulthood, and engineered to be stronger than Damian. He was born as a fully grown adult from the womb of a whale. After being rejected, Talia then places a bounty on Damian Wayne's head and uses her full resources to attack Gotham City. Half of her army are assassins, and the other half are citizens of Gotham City, who are being mind controlled. Batman forbids Damian from leaving the back cave and helping, as he is scared Talia will kill him, and because Batman has had an alleged vision of the future, and believes that if Damian Wayne continues as Robin, and one day becomes Batman, it will result in the destruction of Gotham. So Batman goes out alone to stop Talia. Batman is defeated and captured by Heretic, and the members of Batman and Corpry are trying to rescue him, but are too busy fighting Talia's army to get very far with their efforts. Damian is watching all of this from the back cave, and finally decides that enough is enough, and he leaves the back cave to go rescue his father. Outward is supposed to be keeping Damian there, but decides it will be better to let him go and help. Damian uses an armored version of the Robin costume with a built-in jetpack, and flies to Wayne Tower where Talia Algoor was holding Batman and Hostage. Along the way he helps Dick Grayson, who returns the favour, and they're both attacked Talia's army and heretic together. Heretic is able to not nightwing away easily, and it comes down to a one-on-one fight between Damian Wayne and Heretic, with Heretic determined to defeat him, as he views him as his only real rival. Damian can't take him in a straight-up fight, which does make sense since they are essentially the same person, except for the fact that Heretic is older and enhanced to be stronger. Damian realises that he can't be him in a fair fight, so instead he attempts to murder Heretic with a bolt at the heart. But Heretic still doesn't fall, and after another desperate struggle, Heretic manages to pierce Damian through the chest with a sword, killing him. This causes a brief moment if we'll get from Talia, though only a brief moment, but Batman of course takes it much worse, and in a blind rage he attacks Heretic. Unfortunately, Heretic is stronger and younger than him, and he beats Batman with relative ease. But after Batman has had time to bury his son, he regroups and takes Heretic on again. This time he uses an advanced battlesuit to enhance his strength, and injects himself with Kirkland's dream's bat formula, transforming him into a hybrid of Batman human. All of this negates Heretic's physical advantage, and gives Batman the edge he needs to defeat him, along with some help from Nightwing and the Knight at least. But the Knight won't stop at defeating Heretic as he killed Cyril, who was the previous knight and someone who was very close to her. So as Nightwing and Batman stop her from killing Heretic, he manages to escape and talk to his mother. Only to be reprimanded by Talia for not doing as he was told, and subsequently be headed by her. As she has plenty more clones and doesn't need him anymore if he's not going to do as he's told. How could you just kill him like that? He was he was flawed. Talia then goes to the back cave for a final fight with Bruce Wayne. She uses a poison blade to defeat him and wants him to beg her for the antidote. This is when Jason Todd turns up on the scene in his wingman persona, and trades a weapon for the antidote. After he has the antidote, Caffy Kane steps out of the shadows and shoots Talia Algole in the head, killing her instantly. The story ends with Damien Wayne and Talia Algole both being dead and both having been buried on the grounds of Wayne Manor. And then, when Bruce Wayne was away from the manor, both their graves have been dug up and their bodies have been removed. He returns to find two empty graves. And while this is happening, Grayshell Gawr's planning to use the rest of Damien Wayne's clones as his own private army. And that is how Damien Wayne died. Personally I feel this was a bit of a waste in a way. Damien Wayne dying is a very big deal in the comic book world, and this story just didn't feel like it was built up enough for me. It seemed too quick and sudden, whereas it should be more epic. But what do you think? Does this story seem like an appropriate ending for Damien Wayne? Or would you have preferred for him to die in different circumstances?
