Damian Wayne was the son of Batman and held the mantle of Nightwing in the Regime Universe. He acted as one of Superman's lieutenants in the One World Regime.
History[]
The son of Bruce Wayne and Talia, Damian Wayne's past is assumed to be the same as his Prime Universe counterpart. When Superman murdered Joker after he tricked him into destroying Metropolis, Damian sided with the Man of Steel and helped him build up the Regime. During a fight with his father and his allies at Arkham Asylum, Damian accidently killed Dick Grayson, causing his father to shun and disown him. To get back at his father, he continued to hep Superman, beginning to view the tyrannical hero as his true father. During the final years of the conflict, Damian adopted the Nightwing identity, partially through Dick's influence as Deadman. His first intentional murder was the serial killer Victor Zsasz.
Injustice: Gods Among Us[]
Nightwing later participated in a raid on a cell of Insurgents, led by Harley Quinn to apprehend them and an alternate version of the Joker who was made leader of the group during a stump speech. When the Joker was about to sadistically remove Hawkgirl's wings, Nightwing confronted the Joker, but was held back by the Joker's card deck. Nightwing then told him that Batman is a criminal just as the Joker is when the Joker asked whose boots he found tastier. Joker then denied that Batman was anything like him, causing Nightwing to initially think that Joker was a hero where he came from, before Joker corrected him and stated that while Batman corrupts young minds, Joker "bashes them out of their skulls." Nightwing was defeated by the Joker, who then decided to kill him while he was down ("I'll have to tell Batman... There's been a death in the family."), although Hawkgirl, having regained consciousness, recovered Nightwing and retreated with him because of their being outnumbered due to the arrival of the Regime Universe's Batman as well as the Prime Universe's Wonder Woman, Hal Jordan, Green Arrow, and Aquaman.
Nightwing later confronted Batman and Green Arrow at Stryker prison when trying to rescue the Prime Universe's Batman, initially fighting against the latter while Batman confronted Catwoman. While fighting, Green Arrow told off Nightwing for betraying Batman despite being trained by him, until Nightwing corrected him and told him that he isn't Dick Grayson, with Batman confirming it by revealing that he was Damian Wayne. He then fought his father, although he ended up defeated.

Trivia[]
- Damian's murder of Zsasz changes between the Injustice comics series and Injustice 2. In the former, it is an act of revenge against the killer for murdering Alfred Pennyworth (not knowing Superman had ordered it). In the latter, it is the act that leads to Damian leaving his father's side to join Superman and the Regime.
