We literally got canonical acknowledgment of buck being Bobby’s son by three people, Bobby included, and yall are gonna say the episode was bad????

alfredsolos:

I think one of my favorite Damian Wayne arcs is the time when Talia faked a paternity test that said Slade was Damian’s actual father.
And by that, I don’t mean that I want Slade to be Damian’s dad. Absolutely not.
But the whole ordeal is so fucking chaotic that it’s just the right amount of entertaining and ridiculous.
Let me give you a few information about this whole debacle, which is very crucial:
1. Talia knows Slade is not Damian’s father.
2. Slade knows he is not Damian’s father.
3. Damian knows Slade is not his father.
4. Bruce does not know that Slade is not Damian’s father.
5. Damian, despite knowing that the test is obviously fake, goes on to live with Slade for a few days.
6. Slade does not want Damian to live with him.
7. Damian does not care about Slade’s opinion.
8. Slade makes Damian wear a blond wig and Damian hates it.
9. Slade does not want Damian to call him “Father”.
10. Damian calls Slade “Father”, because yet again, he does not care about Slade’s opinion.
11. At the end of this run, Damian goes back to his father. A bit later, Slade and Bruce have a fight in the cave. At the end Slade leaves without killing Batman and ruffling Damian’s hair:
12. Why is this important? You may ask. Well later on, when Damian joins the Teen Titans, he goes on to kill Slade because he ruffled his hair:
13. He fails of course, but ends up with an eye scar caused by a bullet. Which, surprisingly, was not caused by Slade. In fact if Slade hadn’t protected Damian, he’d probably be dead.
So that’s why I love this arc.
