Warning: Contains potential spoilers for WONDER WOMAN #13!Damian Wayne Robin Drops a sick burn on the super-family, echoing that Superman Critics have been saying this for decades. This live fourth-wall break shows that DC is fully embracing its critics’ take on the Man of Steel. But the real question is whether Superman Stans will step up to defend him — or admit that Robin might actually have a point.
in Wonder Woman #13, by Tom King, Tony Sh. Daniel, and Leonardo Paciarotti, The Epic Absolute power Team-up between Damian Wayne and Diana Prince continues, with Steve Trevor now joining their ranks. The trio set out to orchestrate a daring prison break to free their fellow heroes, who are unjustly held in Amanda Waller’s secret facility after their powers are drained by her Amazo-powered task force.
Despite the challenges, they manage to successfully free the imprisoned heroes. This victory leads to a moment between Robin and Superboy Connor Kent, III Damian bluntly calls all supers boring and idiotic.
Robin voices what haters have been saying for decades: Superman is boring
“You know, everyone always says that you superpeople would be so very, very boring if you didn’t have your special powers.” – Damian Wayne in Wonder Woman #13
Robin’s brutal roasting of the super-family happens when the newly freed Superboy tries to take control of the situation, issuing directives to the others. Damian, however, is not impressed with the former Young Justice member trying to run what is essentially his operation. Interrupting Conner, he quips, “You know, everyone always says that you super-humans would be so very, very boring if you didn’t have your special powers. Just goes to show the wisdom of crowds, I guess.” All the while, Robin is executing the next stage of his plan, challenging Zatanna to open a transport portal.
In this moment, Robin not only reasserts his role as the leader of the mission, but also takes a passive-aggressive shot at Kon, wishing his criticism as a casual observation. His comment essentially calls Superman and the entire super-family boringsuggesting that the only thing that makes them interesting is their powers – a sentiment long held by Superman detractors. Damian’s emphasis “everyone” And “crowds” Gives the line a quarter-wall break feeling, as if DC is acknowledging and giving credit to the haters for this age-old criticism.

Damian Wayne basically just called the whole super-family stupid
Robin calls this interpretation of Superman family “s” Shield
Damian’s roasting of the super-family doesn’t end with calling them boring—he also slips in a veiled insult implying that he thinks they’re idiots. Speaking in Zatanna’s backwards spellcasting style, he quips, “Well, wordplay can be difficult for those who think an S stands for hope. Delivered with biting sarcasm, this jab targets the entire super-family, which everyone sees “s” Shield as a symbol of hope, suggesting Damian calls Superman and the rest of the supers stupid. Although it could be more Robin-Specific criticism rather than one shared by all Superman detractors, the accusation that Superman And his family are boring remains a common criticism among those who dislike the Man of Steel.
