The upcoming animated movie Son of Batman introduces Damian, the child Bruce Wayne never knew he had. The story is based on a 2006 comic-book arc written by Grant Morrison in which Batman learns that he has a violent, unruly pre-teen son, secretly raised by the terrorist group the League of Assassins. The voice cast features Jason O'Mara as Batman/Bruce Wayne; Stuart Allan as Damian; Morena Baccarin as Talia, Damian's mother; Giancarlo Esposito as Ra's Al Ghul, leader of the League of Assassins and one of Batman's most notorious enemies; David McCallum as butler Alfred Pennyworth; Xander Berkeley as Kirk Langstrom (aka Man-Bat); and Thomas Gibson plays the master assassin Deathstroke. This will be O'Mara's second time voicing the Dark Knight. He also stars in Justice League: War, which is out Feb. 4. Both movies are part of Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment's popular series of animated superhero features. Son of Batman comes out late this spring on DVD, Blu-ray and for digital download. The movie will have its world premiere at WonderCon over Easter weekend in Anaheim, Calif. www.tvguide.com/news/son-of-batman-first-look-1076369.aspxWell it's definitely a loose adaptation, as I expected, but looks exciting none the less. Seems they're keeping with the New 52 designs as well.

Doubt we'll see a beheaded villain, but I'm excited regardless to see Damian in an adaption

Diana beheaded Mera in Flashpoint Paradox, so we could still get that. Though I guess it could be a bit much when it's a ten year old doing the beheading.

I was going to mention that part about Diana, but you're right.

A few things that stood out: *Nightwing is filling Tim's role from the comics. Man, why can't Tim get more exposure? I mean, he's only ever been in The New Batman Adventures and Young Justice. That's it. *Am I the only one who could see this kid playing a live action Damian?
