Damien Wayne, the fifth version of Robin was also the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia Al Ghul. Talia is the daughter of the psychopathic villain Ra’s Al Ghul which technically makes him a grandfather. Damien showed signs of his heredity when he became extremely violent and cruel to his rival Tim Drake, who he also ended up killing. But his Robin persona turned into a more heroic person in the end.
