*Contains the spoiler on whether Damian Wayne will return in ROBIN RISES*
Wonder Woman, you were an awesome Character of the Month, but November's over, so it's time to step aside and let another hero receive some extra focus! As you can tell by the title of this article, the voters have selected Damian Wayne, a.k.a. Robin, to receive a ton of praise and attention throughout December! It seems fitting since -- SPOILER ALERT! -- we know he's coming back to the pages of BATMAN AND ROBIN as well. We all knew he wouldn't stay dead forever, right? He's just too darn lovable and Peter Tomasi does such a terrific job writing Bruce Wayne's son! Now, we realize Damian's a pretty polarizing character, so if you're really not a fan of the little dude, do yourself a favor and just don't click on the articles about his history. For everyone else, prepare for a lot of fun!
Damian becoming the Character of the Month means he's about to get a lot of love, but we're also going to put his abilities as a combatant to the test! We're going to put the kid in our Battle of the Week segment. There, he'll face challengers he's never met before in a totally random encounter. Will he overcome and earn the support of the voters or do they think he'll get knocked out? Guess we'll just have to wait and see! If there's someone not from DC that you want to see Damian fight, let us know in the comments!
When Damian isn't duking it out with someone else, we're going to take an extensive look at his history. We'll highlight some of his best covers, discuss one of his most memorable brawls, recommend some important stories, and maybe even write a few editorials about him. If you don't know all that much about the character, we hope you'll learn a lot this month. If you already know and love the hero, we hope this will be a nice trip down memory lane!
We placed five options on the poll. While three of them remained neck and neck throughout the week, Damian managed to hold a firm lead over all of his competition. Sadly, the Guardians of the Galaxy remained in last place pretty much the entire time. That's kind of surprising given the popularity of the recent movie! Anyway, check out the results below.
- Robin (Damian Wayne) 25%
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 20%
- Wolverine 20%
- Captain America (Steve Rogers)19%
- Guardians of the Galaxy16%
You know what? Let's go ahead and begin the Damian Wayne celebration right NOW! You're free to talk about why you think the character is awesome or share what you're hoping to see from Robin's month in the comments below, but we want you to post your favorite image of Batman's son and tell the world why it's excellent.
