Robin is one of the many heroes in the DC Comics Universe, primarily as a protagonist in the Batman Comics. Damian Wayne is the fifth and current Robin, and the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul.
Background[]
Damian Wayne is the son of Bruce Wayne, better known as the superhero Batman, and Talia al Ghul, daughter of Ra's al Ghul, leader of the League of Assassins. Grown in an artificial womb, Damian was born to be the perfect warrior, being a master martial artist before he even hit puberty. Once he came of age, Talia introduced Damian to Bruce for the first time, leaving him in his father's custody in the hopes of Damian disrupting Batman's work. However, Damian wanted to help Bruce fight crime, and wished to take over the position of Robin, Batman's sidekick. While Damian's arrogant, selfish attitude and frequently lethal actions against villains caused Batman to refuse at first, he eventually managed to become his father's partner in fighting crime.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Archery: Damian asserted that his training with the League of Assassins gave him greater mastery of the bow than even Green Arrow.
- Artistry: Damian is considered as skilled with a brush as he is with a sword.
- Aviation
- Business Management: Trained by his mother and the League of Assassins in the way of controlling a company with an iron grip. Even as a young boy he knows that in business there are wars and even in war there are assassins. Damian is involved with the Wayne Enterprises' board members. He even intimidated the board members by tracking down financial irregularities within the Wayne Enterprises' accounts.

- Investigation: Damian, having been trained under the "World's Greatest Detective", has been able to deduce people's actions as well as solve mysteries with few amounts of data.
- Martial Arts: Trained by the League of Assassins, Damian has stated he knows just as many martial arts as Batman and can use them more effectively. This may be a largely overstated comment but one should not ask for verification. Damian may not be physically tough but he knows how to control his weight and has stated that he knows, "one thousand ways to kill a man." Damian's training has made him a formidable hand-to-hand combatant able to defeat or hold his own against multiple opponents, armed opponents or skilled hand-to-hand combatants.

- Stealth: Damian was able to sneak into Gotham City and furthermore into the Batcave virtually undetected until he felt necessary. Of all the Robins, Damian may be the one that is the most silent.
- Swordsmanship: Damian assaulted both Tim Drake and Bruce Wayne on separate occasions with his sword, apparently the same sword used by Ra's al Ghul. Although Damian no longer uses his sword he may be unmatched with one if armed correctly.
- Throwing: Damian is trained by the League of Assassins in shuriken throwing and further trained by Batman in Batarang throwing.
Equipment[]
- Staff: One of Damian's main melee weapons, which he started using instead of his sword to avoid killing people in fights. It is made of metal, and is collapsible, allowing for easy transport.
- Katana: Damian is highly skilled in swordplay, and his main weapon before becoming Robin was a katana he used during his time in the League of Assassins. While he still uses it on occassion, he doesn't use it as much after becoming Robin to try and avoid killing his opponents.
