But while Jonathan Kent was brought up by kindhearted Clark Kent and the brilliant journalist Lois Lane, Damian Wayne’s parental supervision has a sinister edge. Sure, he’s been trained in the ways of crime-fighting by his Dark Knight dad, Bruce Wayne. But before he was Batman’s son-slash-sidekick, he was raised to rule the world by the League of Assassins and its killer queen, his mother-the Daughter of the Demon herself, Talia al Ghul. Now Talia has returned to reclaim her son for the shadows, and not even the tumultuous team-up of the Super Sons may be enough to stop it.
