## Biography

### Early life

Years before his birth, Damian's mother Talia al Ghul became infatuated with Bruce Wayne after learning of his deeds as Batman. Though it was implied that Bruce shared her feelings, Talia ended up drugging and raping Bruce, which resulted in her becoming pregnant with Damian. Talia kept her son a secret from the world, and Damian was raised and trained by his grandfather Ra's al Ghul and Talia in the ways of The League of Assassins so that he would eventually lead humanity.

### *Son of Batman*

One morning, as Ra's al Ghul was overseeing the League's training with Damian and Talia, they were abruptly breached by an attack caused by an army of assassins but won.

Talia takes Damian to Gotham City to meet his father and remain in his care while Talia face her father. The aggressive, highly independent Damian objects and frequently disobeys his father's orders in an attempt to seek out Ra's. After Nightwing accosts him for sneaking out and brutally attacking an associate of his grandfather. Batman berates Damian for his recklessness and willingness to kill. Batman then has Damian don the mantle of Robin to teach him discipline.

### Finding Kirt Langstrom

Commissioner Gordon warns Batman about an abandoned stadium believed to house ghul's men; after infiltrating the stadium, Batman and Damian attempt to question Kirt Langstrom, who initially refuses to leave as Ghul is holding his family hostage but got turned back into Man-Bat again but Batman defeated him too soon.

### Batman and Son in Action

When Damian becomes violently impatient and inadvertently alerts the enemy to their arrival, the group is confronted by a swarm of Man-Bats, which Langstrom explains is part of Ghul's plan to create superhuman flying assassins. While Nightwing works with Langstrom on an antidote for the Man-Bats, Batman and Damian set off to rescue Langstrom's family. Batman deduces that Talia has been abducted and Damian is relayed her location via a ransom video given to Langstrom's daughter.

### The Lair

Nightwing learns that Ghul is operating in an oil rig off the Scottish coast, and while Batman is distracted, Damian goes to the rig alone to rescue his mother. He finds Ra's and Talia in an underwater base with a swarm of Man-Bats and another Lazarus Pit, which Ghul intends to sell for profit. Ghul attempts to kill Damian, mortally wounding Talia as she shields her son from a gunshot. Batman arrives to assist and heals Talia in the Lazarus Pit, while Nightwing and Langstrom cure the Man-Bats.

### The Final Fight Against Ra's Al Ghul

After a brutal fight, Damian manages to defeat Ra's, but refuses to kill him because it is not what his father would do. The underwater base is destroyed when the Man-Bats, overwhelmed by sonar devices placed by Batman, break the glass elevator shaft and flood the base. Batman, Talia and Damian escape to safety, but the unconscious Ra's is left behind. Discussing what to do with Damian now that Ra's has been neutralized, Batman believes that Damian should stay with him and remain as Robin while Talia still wishes to recreate the League with Batman and Damian at her side. Talia relents and allows Damian to stay in Gotham with his father, but states her intention to return for him someday.
