‘Son of Batman’ is an adaptation of Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert’s 2006 ‘Batman and Son’storyline. The film was released on home media on May 6, 2014. This direct-to-video follow up to ‘Justice League: War‘ is a part of the new continuity established with Jason O’Mara reprising his role as Batman while David McCallum and Fred Tatasciore reprises their roles as Alfred Pennyworth from ‘Batman: Gotham Knigh’t and Killer Croc from ‘Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes’. In this feature, Batman learns that he has a violent, unruly pre-teen son with Talia al Ghul named Damian Wayne who has secretly been raised by Ra’s al Ghul and the League of Assassins. When Ra’s al Ghul apparently dies after a battle with his former right-hand man Deathstroke, Batman must work to stop his long-lost son from taking revenge and guide him to a righteous path, in order for the pair to truly acknowledge each other as family.
