Damian Wayne's Robin will be very interesting...
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The inclusion of Damian Wayne in the DCU's Batman: The Brave and the Bold will provide an exciting opportunity to explore a major Robin criticism that's plagued all of the Dark Knight's sidekicks. Both in the real world and within the comics' DC Universe, it's been argued that Batman shouldn't have brought kids into his crusade against the criminal elements running rampant in Gotham City.
As confirmed by new DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran during their announcement covering their vision for a new DCU with a slate of all-new projects, Batman: The Brave and the Bold was teased, set to feature a new version of Batman within this greater universe in the works. However, it was also revealed that Bruce Wayne's biological son Damian will star in the movie as well, meeting his father for the first time as the two grapple to become a Dynamic Duo.
Having brought a handful of young men into his crusade, the classic criticism and accusation has been that Batman recruits child soldiers in his ongoing war in Gotham. To that end, this is a concept Batman himself has struggled with from time to time on the page, though the real reasoning is far more complex. In truth, each Robin needed guidance and someone to care for them, and each came to be known as one of Bruce Wayne's children long before his biological son Damian.
Batman never intended to have any sidekicks, though Dick Grayson's discovery of the Batcave set everything in motion with Bruce seeing his own path as a means to help his charges face their own darkness, extensively training and arming each to fulfill their similar desires for justice. None were ever forced to join Batman, rather it was a choice they each made on their own.
Assuming Damian's origins in Batman: The Brave and the Bold follow the comics, Damian will already be pre-trained as a soldier and deadly assassin. This should create the need for Batman to guide Damian as his son, trying to bond with him as his father. As such, Damian can certainly be that interesting lens from which to break down the aforementioned sidekick criticism on the screen that's plagued Batman and Robin for decades.
