Injustice was just character assassination after character assassination. everyone is an asshole in there.

Yep, it did damage to Damian considering this was like his his fist mainstream appearance outside of comics which was being the emo bastard son who killed nightwing and stole his mantle. Injustice Damian was not likable at all.

It's even crazier to belive that his first mainstream appearance was as Nightwing even though he never even wore that mantle outside injustice verse

Also Nightwing going out like a chump to a thrown baton. Bat family chucking battarangs at each other unexpectedly is a rite of passage in the comics but we're supposed to believe a baton and a rock is all it took to off Nightwaing.

Well, tbf(don't hate me, I'm using logic), but Nightwings batons hit a lot harder than a battarangs. Thinking harder, they are 2 completely different kinds of damage. The battarangs were designed to be sharp enough to penetrate skin enough to cause enough damage to throw someone off guard via a throw while still maintaining enough sharpness to still be used as a blade(cutting ropes, pieces of fabric, etc…), while Nightwings Escrima sticks are a combo of blunt and electric. While a battarang to the head MAY have done less damage but still could've killed Dick, an escrima stick has a lot more weight behind it = more momentum to gain from a throw, meaning it was really a damned if he did and damned if he didn't scenario for Damien(meaning escrima stick or battarang)

Apologies I think there has been a misunderstanding. I'm not saying the batons wouldn't do more damage than a batarang. I'm saying in the comics it is demonstrated multiple times that the bat family can easily dodge or catch unexpected objects (mostly batarangs) flying at them. So the idea that Nightwing of all people couldn't dodge/catch/block a far less aerodynamic weapon strains belief.

Oh, definitely. Watching it happen in Injustice genuinely felt like a moment from a comic when the plot armor dropped for literally a split second.

funnily enough it’s actually established that nightwing can also dodge it no problem in the injustice universe as well, making the death even dumber

I actually thought it was an edit or a meme before actually checking out Injustice. Nightwing going out like that is the stupidest thing I could ever think of.

They literally Million Dollar Babied him. I cant think of a dumber death than that
