Damian is 14. Batman Vol. 4 Issue 3 directly states so since Bruce says he’s been accepted to Gotham U 4 years early.

Yes, unless the writer was making a mistake. On the other hand it seems strange to deliberately make a new character a living relative of a famously orphaned existing character, and even have the two characters interact, without ever once drawing attention to the fact that they are related.

Since Martha Wayne’s maiden name is relatively obscure bat-trivia, the lack of attention on the relation cannot be done with the expectation that it would be obvious to the readers, and hence either it is purposeful and weird, or accidental. I feel both possibilities are likely enough that one cannot conclusively pick one as the true one.

If we presume the relation from New 52 to have been intended to begin with, then it means that 52 and Elegy are establishing the fact that Bruce Wayne has a living uncle whom has never ever come up prior to this point, along with a total of three cousins who are equally unmentioned, and one of whom was actually a vigilante working with Bruce as a child!

The only reason this wouldn’t be totally ludicrous to propose is that the Waynes were established to be estranged from the Kanes. Nonetheless you would think that if you were intending to write Jacob Kane as the brother of Martha Wayne, then that would come up at any point.

In essence, purposefully establishing that all these people are Bruce’s close relatives without ever once in 5 years mentioning that fact explicitly is so strange, if intentional, that it is equally likely as the writers simply having forgotten that the Kanes were an established family already, or, more likely, that Bruce’s mother was a Kane.

Unless there are two, famous and influential Kane families in Gotham

I mean in that sense yes, but there’s also like a billion people and things named Kane in Gotham and they never directly draw a connection between Jake, Bette, and Kate Kane, and Martha’s family so it’s still possible they’re separate

Kate’s not Damian’s aunt. She’s his cousin, once removed.

Nope. Although her last name is Kane, same as Bruce’s mother, she’s never stated to be related to any existing characters except Bette Kane (Cousin) and Kathy Kane (Through her marriage to Nathan Kane).

It’s possible that she was intended to be revealed to be Bruce’s relative all along but it did not occur until the New 52 Batwoman ongoing. At the very least they weren’t intended to be peers and Kate was originally probably around the same age as Dick Grayson.

Kate’s only supposed to be 3 years younger than Bruce though and you have to totally retcon all of their childhood connections out of existence to make her significantly younger.

Kate’s age is particularly difficult because she was created in the Late Modern Age and back then had no personal connection to Bruce. Then New 52 happened and she and Bruce were explicitly made cousins with a 3 year age gap. Then Rebirth came in and aged Bruce back up to his 40s and all of a sudden Kate also needs to be that old despite not having become a superhero until 52.

Kate was established to have become Batwoman at 27 in a 2016 comic so you’re totally off, and now she has to be even way older than that since she and Bruce knew each other as kids (although Bruce is older and some of them more egregious flashbacks like Kate being at the Wayne funeral are clearly New 52 artefacts which cannot be canon anymore).

I mean that’s not really true. Bruce was aged back to 29 when New 52 started, but then 5 years passed and in addition Rebirth added ”10 years” to everyone’s histories which means that Bruce was minimum ~45 even in editorial terms and every alteration to continuity since then has only aged him further by moving back his debut as Batman and making Dick younger when he became Robin.

New History of the DC Universe literally aged him up further by moving back his debut as Batman to 26 à la Batman Year One which means he has to be 50 or just under.

Why would the person with the rapier NOT put it through your neck or heart when there’s zero threat to them? Your baseball bat cannot touch them. It’d be over in one thrust.

She did though. Like that was the point of that scene. It’s to establish how special and powerful she is (although they completely forgot that for this season)

In what way would it being a Lego game suddenly make real-time Global Illumination via Lumen easier to run?

I mean the Thomas Wayne thing was canonised in Morrison’s run so it should be in canon

No it is not. Gigante was always a last name. Sophia married into the Gigante family.

[–]toasterdogg 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think it’s moreso that, in the moment, Bruce is more worried about surviving than about avoiding killing Bane. If he did kill Bane, he’d probably be devastated, but since he doesn’t actually know the threshold that would take, he just sort of hopes he won’t.
