Headcanon: Damian Wayne Has a Fanclub (And a Whole Fan Wiki)
Damian Wayne, Gotham’s youngest and most reluctantly public figure, might not realize it, but he's very popular in certain circles. Namely, the teenage girl circles. And no, it’s not just because he’s the son of the Dark Knight—it's because his civilian persona is a perfect combination of brooding, mysterious, and ridiculously good-looking.
When Damian Wayne—aka the son of Bruce Wayne, heir to the Wayne fortune—first set foot in Gotham Academy, he caught the attention of the school’s social media-savvy students. It started with a few innocent fan posts, pictures from the cafeteria, and cheeky memes making fun of his "I’m too cool for you" attitude. But as time went on, Damian’s charm(whether he likes it or not) grew on the student body, and soon, a full-blown fanclub was born.
Yes, a fanclub.
It’s a very organized affair, with meetings in back alleys (because Damian totally doesn’t know) and highly secretive groups where only the most hardcore of fans know the real details about him. They keep it lowkey—mostly because if Damian found out, they’d all get an earful of his sharp, angry critiques—but they keep track of every little thing Damian does. Every time he smiles (yes, there are rare instances), every time he steps into a room, every time he does anything, they know. They document it in real-time.
Now, the fan wiki? Oh yeah, that's a thing.
Damian’s “most notable moments,” as they call it, are listed in detail. There’s a section on his definitely fake favorite food (it’s sushi, always sushi) and a timeline of the few times he’s smiled in public, ranked by “least awkward” to “actually kinda cute.” His “quote of the year” section features his signature lines like, “I’m not your brother, Grayson,” and, “I’ll fight you for this, but I won’t like it.” Oh, and don’t forget the fan art. Hundreds of fan art pieces. Because if there's one thing that’ll get you noticed in Gotham, it’s an artsy interpretation of Damian scowling while holding a kitten.
Damian, of course, has no idea about this. He thinks that all the attention he gets is solely due to his status as the son of the wealthy Bruce Wayne and the superior skills he’s spent his whole life cultivating. But secretly—when no one is looking—he does get a little bit annoyed at the weirdly flattering attention. It's... weirdly endearing... but also so weird. The idea that people are talking about him in that way, analyzing his every move? Not cool. And yet, somehow, it still feels a bit like he’s winning.
So one night, while perusing through the deep corners of the internet to distract himself, he stumbles upon the fan wiki. His own fan wiki.
He immediately cringes and deletes the app from his phone. But deep down, he secretly wonders how they would’ve known about his sushi obsession... and the Kitten Picture Incident.
