would you draw a tiny Marcus Shugel-Shen (Monkey Prince) and/or Xanthe Zhou? they don't canonically know each other but I think they could be best friends if they wanted to (Xanthe is friends with Cass and Marcus is "friends" with Damian canonically)

so like this? :)

So I finally got the break I needed to read Batman vs Robin #5. And I have... mixed feelings about it.

For context (and to summarize what happened), at the end of issue 4 Nezha posesses Batman and kidnaps Damian:

Nezha demands Damian to tell him where King Fire Bull (his son) is, since he was the last one to see him. Damian, however, does not know where King Fire Bull is. But Damian acts like he does and tells Nezha to release him so that he can take him to his son. Nezha let's him go, and Damian gets his chance to escape.

Damian gets on a motorbike and drives away as Nezha chases him. Which then Monkey Prince shows up to help him. They manage to get away together.

But then, Monkey Prince reveals that the only way to beat Nezha is to get him back to his human body. But this would, in the end, cause Batman to die.

Damian has a strong will, though. And he tells Monkey Prince that he is ready.

And at this point, I knew that Batman would die and get revived by some magical bullshit as a 'plot twist'. However there were a few things that I hadn't expected, happen.

Anyways, Damian informs his family that they needed to put Nezha back to his own body and then contain him. He doesn't tell them that Batman would die, though.

'They don't need to know who has to die tonight'

Sounds very omnious, and will probably end up bad. That's what we can all gather.

Anyways, the final fight against Nezha happens and Damian -with the help of Monkey Prince and his siblings- manages to restrain Batman for Enchantress to work her magic.

The spell is succesful, Nezha returns to his body and Batman dies.

At this point, I'm waiting for the magical plot twist to happen and bring Batman back to life. But then we get this:

Remember the quote I wrote a few panels back.

'They don't need to know who has to die tonight'

I realized that Damian meant himself. He had been planning all along to sacrifice himself for his father. I don't know why I was surprised. Maybe because most DC writers write and treat him so horribly that it's surprising when he does things like this.

Anyways, everyone is shocked obviously. But Damian does not back down and tells them to hurry up before his father's soul dissappears. He tells them that the world needs Batman more than it needs him:

But then Enchantress tells him that it's not enough. The magic had destroyed Batman's body so that he'd need more than one soul.

And so we get the magical 'plot twist' that I've been telling you about. Damian and Oracle make a broadcast and tells the people of Gotham that Batman needed their help.

He tells them to look at the Bat Signal and basically say 'We Are Batman' to transport a part of their soul to Batman.

A bit cheesy, in my opinion. But it works. Batman wakes up and looks for Damian. In the end we get this sweet panel:

Honestly, it was pretty obvious that something like this would happen (after we learned that Batman needed to die). So I wouldn't call it a plot twist, really.

But other than that, I liked how they characterized Damian. It was a good read in contrast to the previous issues where he was the 'Evil Batman'.

I liked Damian's relationship with Monkey Prince and his weird little querrals with Nezha.

I guess he is back to being Robin (?) Because in the last panel, it shows them patrolling Gotham together. But Tim is also Robin, so I don't know where they are going with this.

Anyways, did you guys like it or not?

Heh, funny thought that won't happen but

Monkey Prince's (Marcus Shugel-Shen's) parents, the Drs. Shugel-Shen, could cure Jason's new affliction with ease.

They'd also make it weird and he'd turn into some sort of Chinese Demonic Horror, too. So like, power boost.

I mean, Damian's on good terms with Monkey Prince. If he reached out and got a magic user in Gotham to get the message across, he could borrow the little hellion. (I mean he'd be reaching out for magic cures, but Marcus would probably drop by with his parents and just. Not explain anything in a meaningful way. Per usual.)
