I have yet to see a solid argument against Damian's character that wasn't just pure preference.
I feel that characters always act out of character in regards to Damian, like characters that are strictly against killing don't see a problem when Damian does it because he is our special little guy. He gets to murder, and be a dick, and noone bats an eye.
<Snipped quote by The Kid Lantern>In JL Dark John Stewart says exactly why he is there. He is filling in for Hal.
<Snipped quote by Weird Tales>From what I have read as the reason why Jason Todd was written out of the story as Robin, I don't see the difference between him and Damian. With the exception of DNA they is nothing different between them. They are both unworthy of the Batfamily.
They already teased us by killing off Damian 'Jesus Christ' Wayne. Him coming back was the most disappointing thing I have ever read in comics. But Jason Todd is my favorite Robin, so I am clearly insane.
Live action, I'm certain though our League will be a lot less commercialized LOL
Though I do LOVE the majority of the recent animated movies. Have you seen the trailer for Judas Contract? They're understandably updating the Teen Titans roster and updating some stuff, but even for a classics fan like me I think it looks as good as the other films. JL Dark was great but I'm not sure I like the end with how things were left for Etrigan and Swamp Thing.
~KL~
What they did with Etrigan and Swamp thing really ticked me off, some third rate villain taking out SWAMP THING!?!?! SWAMP THING!!! And then they decide to act like there might be a sequel after killing off Jason Blood, and maybe even Swamp Thing.
I really loved the movie with that aside though, especially the bit with
I've always tried to distance myself from thinking about them in an actual geographic sense. Because they're fictional and every new writer has a different vision for the world they're writing. Except Gotham, I find it hard to separate it from a real geographic setting, but that is DC's fault for naming it a god damn synonym for New York!

Back Story:
Born in Takigakure Inoya was orphaned as an infant, her parents were both missing-nin, the last remaining vestiges of a formerly great clan of Takigakure famed for their ability to use water related jutsu, that went rogue decades ago, both killed shortly after her birth. As such she spent her early years in an orphanage, given a new name and her parentage kept a secret from her, she dreamed of one day becoming a legendary kunoichi. Luckily the orphanage's caretaker herself was a skilled retired jōnin and was accommodating as much as she could be in instructing those under her care that sought to pursue the ninja arts.
It wasn't long before her chakra's Earth affinity was obvious and not long after that she caught the eye of a local scientist. A wealthy if eccentric character of the village he was well respected and the orphanage's caretaker was excited by the prospect of Inoya finding a home with him. Happily answering all question he had about her with regards to her true parentage and abilities. She couldn't have known his plans for the girl.
Shortly after her adoption his machinations manifested, he had been inspired by Orochimaru's research into replicating Hashirama Senju's abilities, and believed he had figured out what the Sannin could not. He injected her with his own concoction containing a small amount of Senju's DNA under the guise of a vaccine that was necessary for all orphans upon adoption. What ensued was bed ridden agony, for two weeks Inoya's entire world was nothing but pain. Her new father did everything he could to keep her alive during that time, and to his credit succeeded. Though she was forever changed afterwards, gone was the outgoing bubbly girl from the orphanage, her feeling of betrayal at his actions having led her to become mistrusting and shy.
Unfortunately though it seemed his experiment was a failure, she had no ability to harness Senju's legendary kekkai genkai. Despite that he spent several months urging her to attempt it. But eventually an unexpected side effect of his experiment showed itself, Inoya had inexplicably gained the Crystal Release kekkai genkai. It wasn't the desired result, and in fact was one of the few things in the world he knew almost nothing about. As such he decided it was time to just move on, treating her from that point forward as a daughter rather than a test subject, supporting her in her endeavors however he could. By all rights he's done a good job as a dad since then, enrolling her in the local academy and when the time finally came, sending her off to take part in the chunin exams. Though he has not been able to regain her trust.
