Batwing

Damian Wayne is the son of Bruce Wayne and an unknown woman. Having just come to Gotham, people don't know much more than that.

Batwing is a new vigilante in Gotham, obviously associated with Batman, but with a far more violent reputation.

Background

 * Damian is genetically perfected in an artificial womb.


 * After his birth he is trained by his mother Talia al' Ghul and other members of the League of Assassins to become an assassin himself and a suitable heir to his mother when it is his turn to run the league.


 * As Damian asks his mother about his father but is not told anything other than he is the son of Bruce Wayne a traitor to the League and his grandfather. The answer satisfies Damian for a short time but his curiosity grows and he begins to ask more questions and when he doesn't get any answers he looks into it himself. He discovers through his investigation that his father is Batman and by accessing an unfiltered terminal researches his exploits. When he confronts Talia with what he has learned she tries to convince him that his father's way is misguided and treasonous. Damian is uncertain however as he is beginning to choak on the restrictive life he leads and find the idea of defying the League attractive.


 * Damian begins to sneak out of whichever League safe house he is currently living in during the night to see more of the world. He also tries his hand at fighting crime like his father does, but with much more brutal results.


 * Before the Crisis Damian is sent to undertake his first assassination, it is not a complicated assignment and he completes it earning his mother's praise and approval.


 * During the Crisis and after the Marriage of Worlds that followed, Talia is busy leaving Damian to his own devices. He spends more time sneaking out and adopts the name 'Little Wing' on the streets, his mother's pet-name for him.


 * His father and his allies arrive to take Damian away from the League. Damian fights his father, but it is more to test him than to resist and in the end goes willingly finding that he is everything he'd hoped he'd be.


 * Returning to Gotham, Damian took up his place as his father's son and heir and demanded he be a partner in Batman's crime fighting modifying his code name to Batwing in his father's honor.

Personality
Damian is what he was bred to be an assassin and the future leader of assassins. There wasn't much more to his life up until this point and little room for love and kindness. Damian would tell someone neither of those things matter, but he'd be lying. His upbringing has damaged him on a fundamental level and despite his young age he knows it. However admitting it to himself and others is another thing entirely. So be goes brazenly along, dealing with the world in the way his mother taught him, directly, and often violently to cover up the truth. The things he doesn't know about the outside world he declares as stupid or unnecessary after all, if he doesn't know them, they can't worth anything right?
