Anyone else hates this kid? You know Talia's kid...I already saw in him one page and I can tell he's an annoying character. I'd hope that when Tim meets him he kicks his butt.

Also, I find rather annoying that Batman says he was drug when he and Talia had sex. BS! It was his own conscious actions. In Son of the Demon he was never drug. So that's BS for DC for trying to change the story.

Oh god... I'm worried. What happened in the issue then?

Talia introduce Batman to his son. The kid is holding a sword and points the blade at Batman's chin. Then the kid says "I thought you were taller".

I hate that puke! I'm really hoping that Selina's child is actually Bruce's daughter. That would be really make me happy.

After all the years Batman has stolen other people's kids, he finally get his own....wait! Batman has kids shockshock Can you post scans please =O

Good heavens! A comic writer has altered a decades-old story arc! Nothing like this has ever happened before! Let us all go onto the internet and throw tantrums about it!

I even email them....DC comics must be tired of me by now. Heck, that won't stop me from giving them a piece of mind.

I never knew Batman had a son lol.

Would've thought he would've been smart enough to use protection LOL

I guess he forgot to put on his utility belt before going into "Battle"

Anyway, Son of the Demon was never clearly in continuity, so changing it shouldn't be that big a deal.

I don't have a scan...but if someone else does feel free to post.

I don't follow...

I don't follow... Well, people started worrying about how whole issue scans may in some way be detrimental tol the site's long-term future and soon after a LOT of scan-posters in the comics forum just stopped posting them. People seemed to think the scan posters had been warned not to do so anymore...

Oh well, I found some scans of the little punk:

Not to spoil it but Robin is in the page after this one. I hope Tim smacks that stupid punk kid.

what issue is this

Were they just training there?

Nah i don't think so. I think the little s**t ordered Batman to fight him lol (2nd scan).

Is there any chance of you making the scans a little bigger, Dwarf? I can hardly read the words.

Sorry, I can't make it bigger.

As you can see that brat is a real punk! Instead of hugging his father he attacks him. I really hate this decision by Dan Didio.

Will this be collected into a graphic novel? even if it sucks, I will get it as its a major turn in the life of the greatest hero EVER

well, visiting family, I finally got to a real deal comic shop for the first time in a few years... got the 1st 3 parts of Batman & SOn and... I can safely say Batman's kiddie is the biggest wanker on the face of the Earth... I wanna kill that little son of a *****... and even with LoA training, he should never have pwned Tim so easily...
I'm kinda disappointed. I expected a better standard of story telling and not some cheeseball crap from a great writer like Morrison. I really felt like some of it was just thrown together and the plot doesn't flow well at all...

What Batman has a son???? He had sex, LOL.

well it was bound to happen sooner or later with all the women he slept with.

Bats never found out he existed til now because the mother, Talia (as in Al Ghul), faked a miscarriage and left the kid at an orphanage. It was never mentioned again or even clearly in continuity, but this arc finally went back and revealed that, ye, it really happened... to some extent or other.

Damien is prime example of why people shouldn't be afraid to hit their kids

What women he's celibete.....that playboy thing is an act.

Right...

What gets to me about DC making this decision is the stupidity behind it. They named Selina's child after Bruce's mother. Then they mislead their readers into believeing the child belong to Bruce. Rather than to make Selina's child the official offspring of Bruce they opted to bring out this child character into continium and make him the child of Batman. I'm disappointed by this which is why I dropped the Catwoman series. Really, stupid move from DC.

True

However, it kind of would be too obvious for Bats to be the father

and I'm sure it will all be retconned in the next crossover when Superboy shatters another barrier or smoothing

Co-signed. I'm a teacher so that just intensifies everything.

He still sucks...

Is the conclusion out yet and was there any imorivement? I don't suppose the ultimate sacrifice they referred to was that little son of a whore dying an agonising death at the hands of a certain spud-eating KMCer was it...?

I been away lately. Anything new on that annoying brat?

Well, the last part of the arc's come out, but I don't have it. Anyone? Spoilers aplenty, I don't care... I'll still quite probably get it...

Yeah... Damien's a little bastard. It was priceless when Batman screamed "PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!!" right in the kid's f*ckin' face. Damien almost shit his pants.

Well, the last issue was just as bad... and with the most maddening cliched ending ever...

I really hope Talia and the brat perish in the explosion.

Ditto, but what are the chances? And to think... I used to like Talia...

LMAO - this is pretty funny.

My brother just made a good point. Bruce is alot like Mike Jackson.

He finds children, takes them to his mansion, takes them into a cave for no one to see and dresses them up in little spandex outfits. LOL

In all seriousness, what comic(s) can I find these occurances in??

The last 4 issue arc of Batman- the arc is titled Batman And Son, written by Grant Morrison with art by Andy Kubert...

DC do something interesting and lasting with Bruce and Selina's relationship? Surly you jest.

(Just as well for her, though; ten-to-one if she was his daughter, they'd kill her off in under twenty issues for dramatic effect.)

i don't know if this was said before...

i was reading this month's wizard, and grant said that with superboy prime's punch in the infinite crises story arc, SP basically scrambled and changed aspects of the DCU continuity and history. a little bit of a cop out move. grant also acknowledged that change... that batman was drugged in the original story and in this arc he's not.

Ah... Fair enough.

I like the current storyline between Batman and his son. I think that Batman will either knock some sense into him or perhaps he will betray Talia and join forces with his father.

i don't think batman & son r cannon since batman son of the demon is noncannon. Who's the father of selina's daughter?

I think the writers have him go good eventually.

He is still annoying.

Maybe but he good turn good eventually

Agreed...I want to go 'pow right in the kisser' to the little snot.

Why are we talking still about Batman's alleged son. As well as whether its a canon or non canon story arc.

This storyline about Batman's son is over and this thread should be closed.

Bruce shouldn't have any children that aren't with Selina. Call me a selfish ***** but damnit that's how I want it!!! lol

So Marvel cops out of history by having Skrull conspiracies; DC does it by letting SBP 'punch reality.'

So no one seem to be willing to say when this is taking place. Sure it's from a plot-arc called Batman and Son, but is this taking place after One Year Later/After in the main continuity or what? I am planing on starting reading DC again sometime in the near future but still haven't read anything after IC.

LOL....Bruce is going to pay child support and ends up broke.

Is this before or after the boy tries to unsuccessfully kill him.

Hey, I don't blame Wayne for banging Taila, who wouldn't, but you would think that the greatest detective in the world could have figured out he didn't use a rubber, or atleast there was a possiblilty she was knocked up, yea I know he was drugged, but c'mon, he's suppose to be the smartest, or second smartest(I forget which one, I know him and Luthor are top two, and than its Mr.T) man in DCU.

you do huh?

That kid is a little hell raiser. I want to smack him so hard and when I read the issue (batman & son), I could see how annoyed Bruce was getting. But honestly, I'd have sex with Talia any day even if it resulted in having a punk ass kid. Even if I was drugged or not, I'd do Talia just as hard And since Talia was knocked up by Bruce Wayne (even if he was on drugs) she would have been sore for weeks.

In the graphic novel, Robin actually does get pissed off at Bruce's son so it's not hard to see that he's a shit head. I don't think Talia and her son will get in Bruce's way though because they seem to disappear alot and Talia is pretty wealthy (well off) so she doesn't need anything from Bruce (except maybe some rough sex).

The majority of people here do understand the meaning of the word "wealthy". What was the point of your post besides educating us in basic English, may I ask? To state the obvious and make asinine comments? I really don't care about how you/ Batman would/ did **** Talia...

Damian has a lot to prove as the new Robin

I prefer the idea of Terry McGuiness (Batman Beyond) being his "son" that was revealled in the later Justice League episodes.

Me too. At least more-so than this.
