there is hopefully going to be an actual explanation for why vampire damian isn’t evil when literally everyone else is upon being vampire-ified, but my current explanation is that its just balance for all of the boring ‘future damian is evil’ AUs and DC trying to demonize him earlier. its called equality
[image: two DC fanarts of Damian wayne as robin. he has big sharp canine teeth in the first picture taht we can see because he is smiling widely with his mouth open. he leans against something and holds a bloody knife up and says “come over here i promise im not going to stab you”. next picture shows him holding two swords and he has his hood up. end image]
Favorite thing about Justice League: Road to Dark Crisis was the bit where Jackson told Hal that everyone in the Justice League was dead, and Hal was like for 0.5 seconds before being like, “So anyway…”
Quick cut over to Dark Crisis #1, where the very first thing that Deathstroke does in his role as King of the Supervillains? Swarm the Teen Titans Academy to kill the students because the Justice League isn’t there to stop him.
He then proceeds to… (spoilers)
Seemingly just shoot Garfield in the face, implictly to demonstrate how he’s going to once and for all beat his most frequent enemy… who are (mostly) a bunch of literal children.
Dark Knights of Steel #7 - Prince Jacob Pierce is Unsplatted, And Bruce Meets The Titans
Due to a pact between Constantine and Ra’s al Ghul (who is a sorcerer and Jason Blood stand-in in this setting), they are able to revive Jacob, the son of King Jefferson Pierce, some days after his murder by the Imposter Supergirl. Unfortunately, Ra’s said that he would only help revive Jacon if Constantine gave him the Titans in exchange as payment…
…Taking us over to the Kents Farm, which as the Els were around to raise Clark in this setting, became home and refuge for various superfolks, who were previously at risk of arrest by Bruce. Bruce is still recovering from the kryptonite poisoning he suffered following a failed murder attempt by Imposter!Superman, and the Titans are understandably not happy to be in close proximity to someone who until recently would have shoved them into a literal dungeon for being different.
…
Later, after Bruce’s apology tour had only just begun, Ra’s and Talia show up with the intention of claiming the Titans and adding them to the al Ghul’s League of Shades. A fight breaks out between Ra’s, his alternate form as Etrigan, and their zombie ninjas vs. Bruce and the Titans. The heroes win, huzzah, and after receiving news that the Amazons, the Kingdom of Storms and the House of El are all charging towards a war, the Kents suggest that Bruce try to contact their first foster kid to look for reinforcements.
A young man who claimed to be the son of a human man and a queen from beneath the sea…
ok i FULLY recognize i’m dumb for this, but when i was first reading the stephanie/nocturna section of rtdc, i forgot all about that short stretch of time that they brought nocturna back in the 2000s and thought by giving her a relationship w steph, they were trying to imply they were meshing her pre-crisis and post-crisis stories by making stephanie the kid of bruce’s natalia latched onto instead of jason. and, yes, that makes negative sense, but now i absolutely cannot stop thinking about it
like considering nocturna’s original arc was her and bruce having an incredibly public custody battle, that could quite possibly be THE funniest scenario ever. could you imagine
