The Batman Family: Damian Wayne, Son of Batman

Damian Wayne:

Damian Wayne had a seemingly troubled past before he met Batman. His mother was Talia Al Ghul, she had kept the child a secret from Bruce and went to Nanda Parbat where the league of assassin's Headquarters is. Her father, Ras Al Ghul would train this boy to become the ultimate soldier, a killing machine. When he was born his training started immediately, until he was the age of ten he was an
assassin. Until Deathstroke came and hunted the league of assassin's down, killing Ras and going after Talia and Damian. Talia called Bruce and gave him Damian, who was reluctant to say the least. Bruce took him back to Gotham and adopted him as his ward, (much to Damian's disapproval). It seemed only natural that Damian would become the next Robin, now that Tim was growing out of it. But Batman didn't wholly trust Damian, he would sneak out, and almost referred back to his killer instincts. "Justice, not Vengeance" he was taught as he became the new Robin.

Damian Wayne, from Son of Batman.

The Court of Owls:

In the Court of Owls comic book timeline we see the head assassin of the Court of Owls named Talon. He persistently tries to recruit Damian for his cause and let him be the successor to Talon's greatness. Batman, who had remained stubborn in not letting Damian kill people, and never really trusting him drove Damian to run away to Talon. Slowly they realized that he was just bait for Batman, Damian tried to fight, but all he could really do was wait for his father to come save him. When they pulled Damian's mask off and saw that he was Damian, they all realized the connection to Bruce Wayne, making the lure for Batman even greater. Talon, who was oblivious to the plan, didn't see eye to eye with the Court of Owls magistrate and wanted to free Robin. Talon kills the entire Court of Owls and tries to free Robin who protests, so he is knocked unconscious. Talon storms the Batcave with an army of talons. Batman is ready, he prepares a Bat-mech to fight them, and with the help of Nightwing and Alfred they fight the talons, and confront Talon, who kills himself.
Damian, thinking that Bruce would be angry started to walk away. But much to his surprise Bruce says: "Damian, I'm proud of you." and embraces his son.

Batman R.I.P. and Final Crisis:

After Bruce's seeming death, Tim left the family and Dick was the only one who could continue being the Batman. Jason Todd, (the Red Hood). Felt that he should become the next Batman. Dick stood aside and let him try, reluctant to take on the cowl.But the twisted version of the gun-toting Bat was scarring for Dick who eventually took on the cowl and defeated Jason for it. They became the new dynamic Duo and things worked out. And then things got confusing.

Clues Left In Time:

As Dick and Damian found out Superman was still alive after the Final Crisis on Apokolips, they began to hope Bruce was alive. Tim Drake was already on the case however. It appeared Darkseid's Omega beam had shot Bruce through time and space. Tim was picking up clues that Bruce was leaving clues in the past for the dynamic duo to pick up. Alfred notices a new chamber in the Batcave that wasn't there before, it had many portraits with a recurring Bat theme letting Damian believe that Bruce was indeed alive. As they search they run into The Joker and the Black Glove, they are seemingly outmatched when Bruce comes out of nowhere to help them defeat the pair of villians. It appears he used a hyper-adapter and found his way back to the future after absconding in the paleolithic era, 18th century Caribbean, and the Salem Witch trials. Batman is reunited with his son and Dick went back to being Nightwing.

The Batman family:
So this concludes the Bat-family. Of course there are multiple additions that I have chosen not to write about yet, (Such as: Carrie Kelly, Stephanie Brown, Bat-Wing, Ace the Bat-hound), and perhaps those will be written about in the future. But for now we have taken an in depth look at the most popular members of the Bat-Family.
