Compared to many of the other iconic Batman characters, Damian Wayne is still a comparative newcomer. Although he technically appeared briefly as a baby in 1987's Son of the Demon, the character was only properly introduced in 2006 by Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert. Since then, the assassin son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul has grown into one of the most popular supporting heroes in the Batman canon.
Damian takes center stage in The Boy Wonder - a brilliant new five-issue DC Black Label comic (for readers 13+) that explores his outsider nature and his troubled relationship with the other heroes to carry the Robin name. Written and drawn by the award-winning cartoonist Juni Ba, it's a colorful new series that follows a very recognizable version of the Bat-Family, but is set outside of the bounds of regular continuity. The first issue is out now from DC - and it's excellent, with stunning art.
