Batman vs. Robin

The showdown that will define a destiny.

RELEASED 3 Apr 20151h 20m★ 7.2 TMDB

Damian Wayne is having a hard time coping with his father's "no killing" rule. Meanwhile, Gotham is going through hell with threats such as the insane Dollmaker, and the secretive Court of Owls.

Why it matters in DC

Damian's difficulty accepting Batman's rule against killing turns a family relationship into a conflict over how justice works. The Court of Owls gives that disagreement a dangerous setting, developing the father-and-son story established in Son of Batman.
