Batmanexcels in many area, but showing affection isn't one of them. While the most Bruce Wayne could ever muster for his police liaisonCommissioner James Gordonwas a handshake, his son Damian Wayneis a different kind of Dark Knight, as he shows when reunited with his allies in DCeased: Dead Planet #3.Last seen at the end of DCeased: Unkillables, Damian happily reunites with Red Hood and Batgirl when the Justice League meet with other Earth survivors in Poison Ivy's Gotham sanctuary, following a gruesome battle with the Anti-Living version of Wonder Woman. But unlike his father, Damian is able to express how much the reunion means to him.

Introduced in the 2006 storyline "Batman and Son," Damian is Bruce Wayne's biological son and a clear favorite to become the Batman of the future. WhileBatman #666depicted a potential future where Damian sells his soul for immortality, becoming a demonic Batman, later depictions of Damian's future have been a lot more generous to this prickly but frequently misunderstood character. Happily, while theDCeasedtimeline depicts a world gone to hell, it also depicts a healthy, happy Damian.

While repairing Jonathan Kent's Superman cape, the Batman who Sews is greeted by Jim Gordon, who - accustomed to a more emotionally distant Dark Knight - welcomes him back with the usual handshake. Damian surprises him by opening his arms for a big hug, to which Jim Gordon states the obvious, "Your father wasn't much of a hugger."

No longer the arrogant and condescending Robin Jim Gordon remembers, Dead Planet shows how the events of DCeased have matured Damian, especially after inheriting the role of Batman from his father. While Damian may have moments of overconfidence and violence, hestill honors his father by being the best Batman he can be for this new and unexpected world. Damian has shown he's definitely more in touch with his feelings, hugging former Robin Jason Todd after getting his approval and privately kissing current Wonder Woman Cassie Sandsmark during a moment of comfort. Damian's Batman is not afraid of getting close to people, despite their odds of survival in this nigh-apocalyptic situation.
