Damian Wayne, the 10-year-old son of Bruce Wayne and the current Robin, will be killed in issue #8 of Batman Inc. The boy wonder dies fighting essentially an artificially-aged, evil version of himself — tribute cover will appear on the various comics of Batman and associated heroes.
“He saves the world. He does his job as Robin,” writer Grant Morrison said. “He dies an absolute hero.”
Morrison says that Robin’s death will illustrate how parents lose sight of their kids when they fight. “It’s all about the family and the family going to hell,” said Morrison, who threw in elements of his own parents’ divorce. “The two adults in the story are both culpable. The kid’s the good guy.”
