A predictable rehash of course...

So help me out here, does the New 52 worship at the feet of Damian Wayne as much as these movies have?

😒

Even though I was rolling my eyes at how boring and hackneyed Batman vs Robin was, except the fights, which were pretty good, I have to admit it was better than Son of Batman.

Still it was dull. And the constant Gary Sue-fication of Damian is annoying as hell, but only a hair less annoying than the character himself. There was nothing remotely likable about the little turd.

I worry about the future of DC's animated works if stuff like Batman vs Robin is where they plan to take the DCAU in the future; at this point they're racing neck and neck to the bottom with Marvel's current animated fare.

Somehow, there's a sect of the fans that are of the opinion that ill-tempered 12 year olds who somehow can knock grown men across the room is "cool". He had them the second he decapitated a villain, I forget which one. So some people think Damian Wayne is a great character. I think he's the single biggest sh!tstain on the Batman mythos, personally. Just ahead of "The Return of Bruce Wayne". He's an annoying little pissant and it's an asinine concept. 'Hit Girl syndrome' at its absolute worst, even though I think Damian Wayne in his current form might predate Hit Girl.

Im gonna give it a watch, surely it must be better than a version with a 12 year old female robin, who somehow has a sect of masturbating dorks and nerds who are surprisingly amazed by a little girl tossing grown men around a room and knocking them out.

When was this? That does not describe either Carrie Kelly or Stephanie Brown.
