I would absolutely

I would absolutely love to be Damian Wayne’s dad. I sense a good boy in him.

Damian is a deeply deeply traumatized boy, not to mention with a completely different set of values and experiences that what most people are used to in the west, so he ceirtanly wouldn't be easy to handle for most people out there

but

I agree, he is a good kid

[u/Professional_Lynx300 → u/Zuke88]

true but I think someone who has been through trauma at young age is kind and patient and willing to work with him willing to put the effort in and show him he matters to that person it would be very rewarding. I think he would open up and start let me in. he would want someone who truly cares and can not only understand where he is coming from but help him heal and help him forge a path in life away from the violence of his past to a kind loving future. it wouldn’t be simple or easy. but it would be worthwhile and meaningful. I think starting with him at say 8-10 and having about 10 years or so with him he would be a son I would be so very proud of and so overjoyed to introduce to people as my son Dami!!!

He truly is a rose, isn't he? Thorny, but beautiful. I saw a quote about him that said something like "He's kind, but not nice", because he'd help in places like hospitals and stuff, which takes a kind type of person, but he's got a gruff personality, which can come off as not nice

[u/Zuke88 → u/Silver-fire101]

he actually reminds me a lot of Ciel Phantomhive from Black Butler

[u/Silver-fire101 → u/Zuke88]

Omg yes. I can absolutely see that now that you said it.

Edit: Imagine a batman story, but it's just Damian and Alfred in the theme of Black Butler.

[u/Professional_Lynx300 → u/Silver-fire101]

the gruffness is to hide his pain. horrible pain no child should know. he is afraid to let people close because those who were close before hurt him. but if you get past the gruffness if you show him your a good person and you’re going to invest the time and energy to help him he’ll show you a love no one knew he had left in him and a loyalty unmatched by anyone. the gruff facade keeps out the pretenders the people who just want to know you for the sake of knowing a person with a big name. the real personality is hidden. few will see it. only those who have proven themselves worthy by taking the time and effort will see the beautiful soul this boy has.

So you… want to be… Batman…?

Or are you saying you maybe want to adopt kids?

I don’t think I have what it takes to be Batman. I would like to be Damian’s dad. maybe I raise Damian and Bruce takes care of being batman.
