The Gotham Knight(Damian Wayne)



"I believe Gotham needs a new hero, a new legend. Someone who can bring hope after what the Arkham Knight did, that's why it needs a new savior, a new knight.. The Gotham Knight."

-Damian Wayne

The Gotham Knight is a vigilante operating within Gotham City. His true identity is Damian Wayne, the son of Bruce Wayne, Batman, and Talia Al Ghul, the daughter of assassin and Eco-terrorist, Ra's Al Ghul. From a young age Damian was trained in the ways of killing by the League of Assasins, his mother wanted him to be the perfect assasin to eventually lead the League after the death of her father.

However, Damian is introduced to his father, Bruce Wayne, and grows an interest in joining his side as a new Robin. His training makes him lethal and aggressive, causing him to get into many arguments with Batman and his allies.

Although over time, Damian decides to stop killing to honor his father's code. He takes his place as the 5th Robin alongside Batman until he is killed in action.

Damian was then resurrected by a Lazarus Pit but caught and tortured by Jason Todd and The Joker. The two brainwashed him into the Arkham Knight, or more a decoy for Jason as he worked in the shadows to end Batman.

Damian's mind was able to be healed and he took the new name of Gotham Knight where he once again fights alongside his father.
