10 Worst Things Robin Has Ever Done

10. Damian Gets Gotham Nuked

Of all of the various imaginings of a future Gotham, the single wildest has to be that of the one we are shown towards the end of the 2013 Batman Incorporated #5. In it, we see a future where Damian has become Batman, and Talia has used this to orchestrate an elaborate plan that results in the entire of Gotham being nuked by the president.

While Damian is unaware of his mother's machinations, the fact that Gotham has become a hellhole in the time between Bruce being Batman and him suggests some pretty telling things about the way the young Robin could have worked as a legitimate superhero. More importantly, this scenario only exists in a universe where Damian goes against his father's wishes and becomes Batman before he is properly ready, so there's also a solid level of blame for him in that regard - as much as it is mainly his mother's fault.

But, in so far as getting people hurt, Damian in this future is responsible for the deaths of the entirety of Gotham and its surrounding area, which is sure to be a pretty high number, and therefore a pretty sketchy move.
