We know every Bat has their Wayne persona, their own customised Brucie Wayne. A family-habit/requirement that Damian absolutely hates when he first joins the galas and the press nonsense. But imagine an older Damian (thinking late teens-early twenties type) who’s become more comfortable with exploring his identity finally making his own persona.
Damian, who’s been avoiding public appearances since his angry little rich kid era, decides to be the most docile, charming, humble, young man ever.
Interviewer: So Damian Wayne! It’s a pleasure to be able to get you on our show, you’ve certainly been a slippery man!
Damian softly chuckling: Ah yes, unfortunately I’ve been quite busy with school and all, my apologies for delaying our meeting for so long.
Interviewer, who went into the interview after researching Damian expecting a curt nod or a scowl, stunned by a soft chuckle:
Back in the day, when he had to interact with fellow heirs, he’d slip away remaining a mystery to rich kids community. That was until he started showing up, listening attentively.
Random Heir: And obviously I couldn’t stand my autumn Paris trip cancelled—-
Damian tilts his head, eyelashes fluttering, devastatingly patient: That must have been disappointing.
Random Heir (cheeks reddening and immediately flustering): Yeah— I mean— yes. Exactly.
Damian who starts speaking extremely politely whenever approached by High Society members, who used to coo at his likeness of Bruce and were promptly glared at back in the day.
Socialite 1: Ah, Damian! It’s been so long! You’ve grown so much!
Socialite 2: Yes yes, we’ve heard a lot about your artwork, seems like you’re paving quite the future!
Damian softly with a small smile: Ah good evening to you both. I’m still learning, but I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given.
Socialite 1 (literally melting): Oh how sweet you’ve become!
You have forums, comments, videos of people on social media talking about how Damian has matured and become a darling and how smart, soft-spoken, an handsome he is because guess what, he doesn’t only extend this to galas and interviews but everywhere.
Tim bursting into Damian’s room: Damian, cut the nonsense.
Damian unbothered, not even looking up: I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean, Drake.
Tim: Stop with your public persona, I beg you.
Damian: Why? Everyone has one?
Tim who can’t handle people simping over his baby brother: Damian I swear if I get another edit of you on my TikTok FYP swoon about how sweet, handsome and elegant you are I’m actually going to kill myself.
