InDC Comics , Damian Wayne has reserve the form of address ofRobinfor some class now , and it ’s a matter of canyon that he is the biological nipper ofBatmanand his former lover Talia al Ghul . All of the pieces are there , from his indomitable will to his blue - black pilus . But a dandy - eyed fan lately found some grounds that could contradict the veracity of Bruce Wayne ’s fatherhood and spot instead to a Hellenic ally ofSuperman — Jimmy Olsen !
What ’s a superhero without their sidekick ? Whether run across the engagement alongside them , helping tackle a threat with multiple fronts , or simply cheering from the hobby , almost every salient protagonist has a trusty crony or two to lighten up the load . For Superman , the affableJimmy Olsen was one of the first . The mild - mannered photographer has been the content of nearly countless transformations and experimentations throughout his issue history . Yet , nothing that ’s pass to Olsen would be quite so shocking as the apparent Revelation of Saint John the Divine inAction Comics#1006(written by Brian Michael Bendis with Ryan Sook on pencils ) , where he claims to have slept with the girl of the Demon ’s Head .

@amadcartoonist onTwitterposted a screenshot of the two panels that contain this fragmented confession . The first shows Jimmy just in the beginning of venting to his friend about why he think " sleeping with Talia al Ghulwas a immense fault " when the distrait Kryptonian asks him to “ hold that thought process ” and races off to chase after a supervillain . Stunned in the wake , Jimmy fling a few Post - Its into the air , which say " Call Mrs. Al [ sic ] Ghoul 10:15 " and " T – Al Ghoul send for 9:15 . " Remarkable how a man with superhuman hearing can be such a inadequate auditor . But it ’s really the Tweet ’s caption that pass special attention : “ Roses are violent / Skateboards are rad / Jimmy Olsen / Is Damian Wayne ’s real dad ”
Yes , this may be ridiculous to comprehend . For one matter , Damian Wayne and Jimmy Olsen look nothing likewise . Moreover , Jimmy ’s story of genetic manipulation would probably predispose any kid hedoeshave to some grade of metahuman ability . Damian has yet to expose any such quirks . Though on a very practical level , it should be noted just how many womenBatman has log Z’s with , get alone how many suitors Talia has entertained . Is it entirely without purpose to speculate even momently on the possibleness that some fertilizing wires got crossed ?
In the end this was credibly little more than a muzzle throw in by Bendis . Then again , comic ledger writing is a long and patient game . Even ifDamian Wayne is n’t Jimmy ’s Logos , that one lecture bubble alone could be the seed of anElseworldsminiseries where “ James Olsen Junior al Ghul ” chair the League of Shadows on an intergalactic subjection that can only be staunch by his Father-God — withBatmanandSupermanat his side , of row .
