Damian Wayne Steps Down as Robin After 16 Years
Warning: MAJOR Spoilers for Batman and Robin #18
After 16 years as the main Robin of the DC Universe, Damian Wayne officially plans to leave his role as Batman's sidekick behind. Batman's son has been fighting by his side for a while now, but he's recently found a new calling that spells major changes for him moving forward. In a seismic shift to DC's status quo, Damian is ready to retire from the Robin mantle at long last.
In Batman and Robin #18 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Javier Fernández, Carmine Di Giandomenico, and Miguel Mendonca, Damian has been branching out beyond his Robin role by volunteering at a hospital when he isn't helping Batman chase down Memento.
Helping the less fortunate in a way that doesn't involve vigilantism inspires him to make an earth-shattering call. Damian informs Batman that he no longer wants to be Robin, paving the way for the end of his years-long Robin tenure.
