10 Batman Moments That Shocked The World
6. Damian Wayne's Death
When Damian Wayne was first introduced to the Bat Family there really wasn't a great deal of love for him. He was spoiled, arrogant, as well as downright annoying, and it seemed to all and sundry that sooner or later he would go the same way as Jason Todd. And nobody would be sad to see him leave.
By the time Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham introduced Batman: Inc into the New 52, Damian had started to turn his entire character around. Sure, he was still showing some of the traits that had turned people away from him in the first place, but thanks to some great writing, he was also winning plenty of fans over.
When the Leviathan storyline happened, Damian found himself with a price on his head thanks to his mother, Talia al Ghul. The culmination of this saw him come face to face with his very dysfunctional family and in the ensuing battle, in one of the most jaw-dropping moments of all time, he was killed by his own brother.
Even though he wouldn't stay dead - as no-one ever does in comics - it was still a moment that would send chill's through readers veins.
