“Dick Grayson’s concept design for Damian’s Robin uniform.”

DICK DESIGNED DAMIAN’S UNIFORM, GUYS. WITH NO DISCO COLLARS. OR FEATHERS.
So he isn’t totally helpless when it comes to fashion. :’D

Her character is more than just Ra’s daughter, and just because she was raised by him doesnt mean she shares the same morals as him.
There was a Damian fan account on twitter that posted a graphic that had all the books the super sons appears in, including the issue of Bendis' Superman where he """"reunited"""" them. I tweeted that issue does count and they immediately blocked me. I still laugh about it
Haha, that's incredibly funny XD. I can definitely say for sure that the fact that they blocked you says more about them.
But in all seriousness, I and @wesavegotham were actually talking about this recently. And I actually discussed this @bardicious too awhile back. So I will summarize all our conclusions into this post.
The question that if you still consider the Super Sons, the same dynamic dual they were after Jon was aged up?
All of us had the same conclusion that the answer was obviously no.
Think about it, one factor why Tomasi’s Super Sons worked and was received so well was because Damian was older (obviously this isn’t the only reason). Damian being older not only benefited the development of Damian but also of Jon’s:
Damian has a darker past (raised by the league since birth), very intelligent for his age, and believe it or not, Damian is, for the most part, really wise. Jon, on the other hand, is more naive, he was new to being a superhero and didn’t yet know of how dark the world could be, and the person mentoring him...was Damian, the person you least expect to mentor anybody.
But Damian was perfect for the job, he also started his superhero career at 10. Although he is young, Damian is absolutely NOT naive. Damian has experienced the worse the world can throw at you. What better person to mentor you?
Damian learned a lot from mentoring and training Jon. Now Damian was not being mentored or watched over, he was mentoring and watching over Jon instead. Working with Jon helped Damian learn how to better work with someone who was difficult to handle as he is.
And it gave Damian the opportunity to be the older sibling for once for someone else that needed an older brother figure in their life like Dick is to him.
On the other hand, Jon being younger and naive isn’t a bad thing. Him being child-like helped Damian finally experience the childhood he was neglected. It helped Damian not take everything too seriously and enjoy life for once. Put a little bit of his trust into someone else besides Dick and gain a new friend who understood living under the burden of a legacy that was so heavy. As Damian was mentoring Jon in the superhero world, Jon was mentoring Damian in their personal world outside of patroling.
Under Damian, Jon was getting development, learning to be his own entity, and not overshadowed by his father. Plus Damian wasn’t gonna let Jon just be all muscle, he was teaching him to be analytical-like and do detective work as well. Under Damian, Jon would learn how to be different from his father.
Now that Jon is older, it disrupts that dynamic. I don’t think even Bendis even knows how he messed this up. And no amount of cats, hugs, or whatever he showed us in his version of Super Sons in Superman issue 16 can fix that.
And even if he ages down Jon down, I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him for leaving Damian alone during one of the darkest times of his life after leaving the league (with Alfred dead) and as @wesavegotham said for even implying that Damian was comparable to a ‘baby Hitler.’ I don’t know if that is even worse than Glass destroying Damian’s development.
It is not only insulting to fans of Damian like myself who have watched Damian grow and develop. But it also is an insult to writers like Tomasi and Gleason who worked so hard to develop Damian in the first place.

Had a great time working with this team and y’all should really check out her work because it’s great!
Also many thanks to @shelbychild for help with the image description
[ID: damain wayne is leaning against a brick wall. the area around him is dark, but he is gently lit. he's playing with a knife in his hands, and his hair is close-cropped. he's wearing a rusty brown vest, black long sleeved shirt and pants, a yellowish belt, and grayish green boots, gloves, and mask. a speech bubble near him reads "I'm not a duckling." in the lower left of an image, a signature reads "zannakai". END ID]
Don’t get it twisted. This was no act of revenge.
