## History

### Meeting Batman

Damian observed the training of the League of Shadows with his grandfather Ra's al Ghul. They were attacked by Deathstroke, who was attempting a takeover. Ra's was killed but Damian managed to take Slade's eye as revenge. Needing to take out Deathstroke, Talia al Ghul decided to leave her son with his father: Batman.

Damian was not impressed with his father's crusade as Batman. His sass and arrogance were very amusing to Alfred. The son of Batman desired to become the Dark Knight's new Robin, with Tim Drake having come into his own as Red Robin. However, Damian's erratic and violent behavior made Batman hesitant to grant him the mantle. Bruce decided that Damian could become Robin once Nightwing said he was ready.

After training together, Dick decided to grant Damian the mantle so he could channel his violent energy into something constructive, hopeful that the young boy would grow into a fine hero of his own.

### Court of Owls

Damian's father was in a relationship with Gotham socialite Samantha Vanaver. One night, Bruce tried to have sex with her but was cockblocked by Damian. While patrolling, Robin met an assassin named Talon who offered to mentor the boy. They ultimately formed a friendship, with the villain constantly urging Damian to kill his enemies. Batman eventually learned that Talon was the assassin for a mysterious group of Gotham's elite called the Court of Owls. Upon further investigation, he discovered that the leader of the group was none other than Samantha. The Court used Scarecrow's fear toxin on Batman. Talon then brought Robin before the Court, but their discovery of Damain's identity allowed them to make the fateful connection between Bruce Wayne and Batman. Hurridly, Samantha urged Talon to kill the boy, but fed up with his lover and her hateful ways, the assassin instead killed her and the entire Court.

When he came to his senses, Batman discovered that Talon was coming to Wayne Manor to have his revenge on the Dark Knight. Robin arrived just in time to join Nightwing and his father in the battle. Talon brought with him an army of undead soldiers, which meant the heroes could finally kill their enemies since they weren't people. The villain revealed that he was in fact Bruce's younger brother Thomas Wayne Jr., who Alfred had given up when the Waynes died. Together with Nightwing and Robin, Batman fought his brother to the end. Thomas impaled himself on Damian's dagger in the hopes that it would plague the boy with guilt, but the heroes instead laughed it off and bonded as a family.

### The Hunt for Deathstroke

Batman eventually introduced Damian to Commissioner Gordon, who informed the pair of Kirk Langstrom's disappearance. Batman violently interrogated Killer Croc for information on the kidnapper, who pointed the heroes to Deathstroke. The Dynamic Duo hunted down Langstrom, who had been forced to create a Man-Bat army for Deathstroke, who was holding the scientist's family hostage. In the Himalayas, Batman and Robin were able to infiltrate the one-eyed assassin's facility and bonded over their shared trauma. They found Francine and Rebecca Langstrom, whom they returned to safety. However, Rebecca gave Robin a video message from Deathstroke, who held Damian's mother Talia hostage and urged the boy to come rescue her.

Robin snuck his way onto Deathstroke's oil rig facility, intent on rescuing his mother. Batman pursued his sidekick. Together, the Dynamic Duo fought off Deathstroke's Man-Bat army. Talia was killed and Damian pursued the assassin in revenge. The Dark Knight healed his baby mama with the Lazarus Pit located under the fortress, resurrecting her. Robin and Deathstroke had a musical battle, with the young hero ultimately besting his foe in single combat and condemning him to the 'ponytail of shame'. Talia asked Damian to come back with her and help lead the League of Shadows, but he renounced her and his legacy after seeing his mother's true colors, choosing to stay with his father and serve as Robin.

### The Teen Titans

Nightwing decided to take Robin to join the Teen Titans, knowing that he could use some friends. The leader of the team, Starfire, introduced the Boy Wonder to the other recruits: Raven, Beast Boy, and Blue Beetle. Unimpressed and annoyed at having to join the team, Robin brushed them all off and kept to himself. The Titans later trained against virtual enemies. Robin and Blue Beetle got into a fight, which gravely injured the former. Raven healed him at great cost to her own health. Starfire was angry at Robin for instigating the conflict but was happily surprised to see him learn some humility from the encounter. He apologized to her, Blue Beetle, and Raven, the latter of which he began to grow close to.

Trying to get her fellow Teen Titans to bond, Starfire took them all to a carnival. Robin surprised everyone by facing off against Beast Boy in a dance competition. Raven was drawn away from the action to go meet with her father Trigon. Raven's father was still trapped in Hell, but he had sent his minions to bring her to him and urged her to help him cause an apocalypse. Robin and the other Titans came to her rescue. By embracing her demonic roots, Raven was able to defeat the minions. She informed her teammates of her backstory. Her mother had been a cultist who took part in a ritual to summon Hades, which ended up forcing her to have sex with Trigon, conceiving Rachel. Monks from the magical land of Azarath protected Raven and her mother in their peaceful dimension, but a bored Rachel accidentally summoned her father and allowed him to destroy everything. Now, Trigon wanted his daughter to open the gates to Earth and allow him to destroy it. The Titans swore to help her.

### The Judas Contract

Robin continued operating as a member of the Teen Titans. They gained a new addition to their ranks with Terra, a metahuman with geokinetic abilities. One night, the Titans raided a compound home to H.I.V.E., a cultist terrorist organization the team had fought many times. The leader of the cult was Brother Blood, who was constantly trying to take over his home country of Markovia. After completing the mission, the team's mentor, Nightwing, proposed to Starfire. She accepted, much to the joy of the rest of the team.

Terra suffered from nightmares of her troubled past, which caused her to accidentally use her abilities during her sleep, plunging Titans Tower into an earthquake. Raven was able to use her emotion-based powers to stop her teammate's tremors. Not trusting Terra, Robin followed her one night and was captured by her true master: Deathstroke. Utilizing his mole's intel, Slade managed to capture all the Titans save for Nightwing, who was left to die. Ultimately, Terra was betrayed by Deathstroke and given to Blood with the rest of the Titans, as the terrorist leader wanted to sap the young heroes of their powers. Nightwing arrived and disabled the cultists' machine, freeing the Titans, but not before Blood was able to steal all of their powers. By working together, the team managed to defeat the villain. Furious at her mentor's betrayal, Terra activated the full scope of her powers to kill Deathstroke. She gave a tearful goodbye to Beast Boy and thanked him for being her friend, then brought the roof down on her and Slade as the other heroes escaped. The Titans paid their respects to Terra, with Beast Boy noting that she would always be a Titan.
