Damian Wayne Is Quietly Building a Superhero Network
Robin’s “Team” Could Include Nobody, Flatline, Hawke, Jon Kent, and Even Ravager
The makings of what would become the so - called " Nightwing Family " first started to take shape when Dick Grayson cope with Aqualad and Kid Flash in 1964’sThe Brave and the Bold#54 by Bob Haney , Bruno Premiani , Charles Paris , and Stan Starkman . Dick continue to regain new ally and friends who formed the original Teen Titans . What made this so important is thatDick was building and cultivating relationships that had nothing to do with Batman himself . Robin may always be Batman ’s buddy , but understandably , he did n’t involve Batman to make risky venture of his own with friends he was making himself .
If his way is anything like Dick ’s , then Damian could form his own squad alongside Nobody , Flatline , and others he ’s befriended .
Once he finally branched off on his own with the Titans and became Nightwing , it was soft for readers to view Dick as his own hero , particularly with his own stories that were separate from Batman while still being his partner . Becoming a solo Cuban sandwich just seemed like a intellectual , inevitable next pace for him . The same can be said for Damian Wayne as he carves out a interchangeable path in Williamson ’s run with the fibre . If his path is anything like Dick ’s , thenDamian could form his own team alongside Nobody , Flatline , and others he ’s befriend .

Fletcher — showcaseDamian Wayne as Batman , which pretend mother wit , give how obsess Damian has often been with the cowl . former loop of his role would often croon about being the rightful heir to the cowl .
