One of the Greatest Batman Stories EVER TOLD - "Son of the Demon"! (The true origin of Damien Wayne!!)

On Episode #285 of Coolest Alive Jesse dives into the 1987 graphic novel Batman: Son of the Demon, the dark, romantic, and wildly influential story that sees the Dark Knight in an uneasy alliance, and secret marriage, with Ra’s al Ghul and his beautiful & intelligent daughter, Talia al Ghul as they battle a global terrorist threat, only for personal tragedy and impossible choices to reshape Batman’s legacy forever. Packed with espionage, emotional gut-punches, and gorgeous prestige-format art, it’s an underrated classic whose ideas about family and heirs would later redefine Batman canon.
