some random batfam headcanons cause I love the robins.
* He's the second shortest of the robin's. for a long time Damian was shorter but he hit a growth spurt, leaving Tim and Dick as the munchkins of the group.
*Insanely protective. do not touch his family and friends or you're fucked.
*on days where he doesn't suit up, he's a softy. a major sweetheart, and huge simp.
*on days he DOES suit up though oh boy. the adrenaline turns him into grumpy/hyper/horny bastard. he's a lot more harsh and his personality is a bit darker.
*you can tell he grew up around Bruce as Bruce and Dick, not just as batman and Robin. they are both very suave, and insanely charming. Dick has that rich son playboy smirk and the others point it out a lot.
*always smells like expensive cologne.
*actually kind of still likes clowns, and is slightly annoyed that the joker uses it as his ~thing~.
*because of this he ends up with a lot of fractures.
*Everyone sees him as the responsible one but he's more of a tired older brother then anything.
*he is kind of the leader of the boys though, because he's been there the longest.
*has a lot of one liners. him and jay have roasting and sarcasm battles constantly.
*normally the one sparring with the others as training
*he's the reason everything is named with bat. he started calling them the batcomputer and batmobile, Bruce ran with it and smiles every time one of the JL members makes fun of him for it.
*Thrifts literally everything.
*drinks a shit ton of coffee. and energy drinks. not because he needs it but because he wants to.
*"seriously jay your heart is gonna stop" "did I fuckin ask"
*swears alot. he's the reason the "refrain from swearing" rule became a thing, specifically after a pretty vulgar string of words after he fell down the stairs.
*Dick never let him live it down.
*will randomly stop responding to his name for days at a time, and will only answer to very specific nicknames just to mess with everyone.
*once went a whole week only responding to "the king of Gotham, Jason fucking Todd, the most handsome robin" and Dami ignored him the entire time.
*plays a lot of videogames. like ALOT.
*prefers PC games but plays using a controller.
*hates most candy but will eat anything sour. he loves sour candy.
*secretly scared of spiders.
*can only wear specific things to sleep otherwise he has really bad nightmares.
* "did you die though? no? point made."
*takes a lot of candid photos of everyone and turns them into memes that he prints out and tapes up in the manor.
*names basically everything. once called his favorite cup jerry for a month.
*isn't allowed to talk to journalists and paparazzi's anymore because he couldn't stop making death jokes that nobody else understood. also would swear and flip them off too much.
*makes a lot of "you're adopted" jokes.
*keeps Roy in the loop of the dumbest shit he can think of. once texted him at 3 am to show him a time lapse of Damian blinking "like a freak".
*literally never stops fighting with Jason
*seriously they argue about fucking everything
*also drinks a lot of coffee, but its because he just doesn't sleep.
*has been told on multiple occasions he isn't allowed on patrol or on a mission because he hadn't slept and was a danger to himself.
*watches a lot of buzzfeed unsolved.
*one time Bruce caught him watching it on the batcomputer and jay never shut up about it.
*always shaking. probably a mix of an anxiety tremor and the absurd amount of caffeine in his system.
*started the batfam groupchat.
*scares the shit out of himself with horror movies.
*fangirled the fuck out when he met Selina for the first time. she just stood there and awkwardly smiled and tried to crack a few jokes to get him to stop talking.
*uses a lot of weird metaphors
*regularly gets called by one of his other brother's names. one time he retaliated by switching between calling Bruce Oliver, Hal, Barry, and even Diana at one point. Ollie and Hal thought it was fucking hilarious.
*frequently found passed out in really weird positions. Roy and Jay once found him passed out ass up in the air under the kitchen table. it was the screensaver on the batcomputer for a solid week before oracle changed it.
*gets along with Jason the best surprisingly.
*that's not saying much though.
*him and dick are civil, but he secretly looks up to him
*plays multiple instruments. frequently plays at gala's and party's.
*is pretty confused at first by all the others.
*only ever calls Bruce father. never dad.
*when he's really upset he slips back into Arabic, and when he's really really upset he goes into his other languages too. most of the time no one can understand him because he slips into so many different languages in one rant it makes it impossible.
*volunteers at animal shelters around Gotham. he spends a lot of time helping to renovate or clean them, as well as spending times with the animals.
*busts a lot of dog fighting rings. one time he was interrupted in the middle of one of the busts by Harley and Ivy also trying to shut it down. they just gave each other a silent nod and didn't throw a single hit at one another, it was never spoken of to anyone especially Bruce.
*gets really flustered around Raven. it's the only time he really stutters or trips on his words.
*any time jay makes an adoption joke Damian just smirks and goes "wellll" and Jason just glares and says "you shut the fuck up."
*rarely drinks coffee. he thinks it tastes weird.
*listens to a lot of classical music when he gets homesick.
*hates Jason and Tim's music tastes.
*tallest of all the batkids
