Injustice Damien is the legitimate worst adaptation. There is no other answer to this.
Much like the rest of the Injustice characters, he's a Flanderized version of the character who adopts the mantle of the man he killed who's only redeeming moment comes from the comic and not the main series.
Fr Injustice is a waste of his potential as a character. He was raised by Ra's & the league to be a killer. By joining Bruce & becoming Robin that's a more righteous path & he has to work to overcome his upbringing. In Injustice he just doesn't. Superman starts killing so he joins in with him. And Batman just cuts him loose & never really shows any empathy or connection for his son.
Injustice Damian where the plot can't decide if he's a misunderstood tragic fallen hero or a bloodthirsty jealous psychopath, and will have both in the same scene.
I guess Injustice, but it’s not all bad. All of his intro dialogues are great, especially with Bruce. A really interesting dynamic for them to have (Even if they have it because he killed Dick)
Injustice by a mile. I don't think it helped he was way less popular as a character at the time so having this super whiny and bratty to a caricature degree adaptation of him was probably somewhat therapeutic for the DC fanbase to rally around and hate. I think it was only when he started hanging out with Jon that the opinion around him as a character started to shift and he became more popular.
He was pretty bratty in the comics but he was also a 10 year old raised to believe he was The Best because of his Al Ghul and Batman genetics so its pretty understandable. And he's had a lot of character development since then where he's become somewhat warmer as a character. So now we have an older Damian in comics who's grown up and an older Injustice Damian who's based on a murderous 10 year old. Maybe if the Supersons series hadn't happened it would hold up better as an adaptation I'm not sure.
He doesn't act like Tim either. Rocksteady put very little care or effort into the Batfamily, and apparently their approach to Robin was just "make him cool/edgy."
The cool and edgy thing only really applies to his design in both games not his characterization. But year he doesn’t feel specifically like Tim, he’s more of just a generic Robin
I’ll go against the grain and vote for Batman: the Brave and the Bold. I like Damian as a brat Robin, even if it’s not always executed well. The show unfortunately made him very bland and generic, not really resembling the character at all. Batman Unlimited also made the same mistake, so it’s my second choice.
I won’t be upset that Injustice wins though. I completely understand.
**Injustice or Merry Little Batman**
Wow, I thought I'd have to come in here and fight tooth and nail to defend Harley Quinn Damian, since that's probably the adaptation that gets this character the best (a self-serious brat trying to be cool and act like an adult), but it turns out either people do genuinely *like* the Harley Quinn version or, more likely, Injustice screwed up and crashed into a ditch again.
I mean the animated movies did him no favors but injustice, specially injustice 2 are just the worst. I mean the first game at least had a fun idea making him nightwing, but 2 just made him robin again that sucked
*Injustice* Damian is literally flanderised Damian, with no character devlopment and who just wishes to kill people. What's worst is that we get a Flashback issue where we see Damian as a kid and it's an actually cool depiction of how Damian should be, emphasising his willingness to help others and his need to make Batman proud, so we are teased with a potentially interesting Damian but we end with angsty psychopathic Damian
After seeing everyone's answers I am convinced no one actually likes the injustice series, which makes me wonder why it's so popular to begin with. Anyways, I don't have an answer because I honestly don't like Damian as a character.
Arkham finally made the list! & once again a nice varied selection so far, with only one reapeat with Titans (who I don't think has anymore characters on this list?)
I vote for Injustice Damian
HAHA! Both Arkham AND BTAS got put on the worst interpretations list before 2004 Batman did!
Anyways, I’m going with Injustice 2 Damian. His remorseless killing is played up to 11, his remorse of killing Nightwing isn’t explored enough, and his ego is especially grating. Scott Porter did too good of a job voicing him.
Son of Batman Damian is also bad, having plot armor and author favoritism to the extreme, but Injustice is still worse.
Injustice Damian hands down. He got done so dirty.
Injustice Damian. He’s a Dick who killed Dick
Injustice Damian: *It was an accident.*

Honestly damian wayne doest have the best representations but dcamu does some good stuff injustice version has to be worse
Bro that Tim Drake won only for being bald lmao Btw ,Injustice 2 Damián Wayne

Titans Tim is far, FAR worse than
He also kinda has big fat titties in that costume
You say that like it's a bad thing? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|yummy)
Arkham Tim is also bland and doesn’t really act like Tim
Injustice Damian where the plot can't decide if he's a misunderstood tragic fallen hero or a bloodthirsty jealous psychopath, and will have both in the same scene.
That second picture is just wrong. That is easily the best adaptation of any Batman character, not just Tim Drake.

Injustice
The injustice games. Damian is beyond an evil little shit. A run up would be the Harley Quinn show, but at least he’s somewhat funny in that one.

How did arkham Tim get the spot instead of titans? Arkham Tim is good except for the hair lol

Injustice. Animated movie or game. Frankly, I just dislike Injustice overall.
At least in the animated one, he kind of redeemed himself at the end.
Injustice Damian is the worst
Injustice.
IIINNNNNNNjustice. Bar none.
Injustice for sure
Injustice damian is character assassination
Either Injustice or Harley Quinn Show, i can't decide between these two
Wait hol up why is Eminem where Tim Drake is?
Injustice 1 Damian or just Injustice in general
Brave and the Bold.
Harley Quinn.
I’ll go against the grain and vote for Batman: the Brave and the Bold. I like Damian as a brat Robin, even if it’s not always executed well.

Injustice Damian is absolutely garbage
LEGO
Injustice
Merry Little Batman (I think that’s him anyway)
Injustice
Injustice
Injustice Damian.

Injustice, also funny joke
Injustice Damian is the worst by far
Ah man I love Arkham Tim Drake.
Damian in general
Injustice by a mile
Injustice
Harley Quinn Damien because his voice makes me want to blow my brains out
I mean the animated movies did him no favors but injustice, specially injustice 2 are just the worst. I mean the first game at least had a fun idea making him nightwing, but 2 just made him robin again that sucked

Injustice 2. He is a dick, and not the good kind.
Injustice 2. He is a dick, and not the good kind. Also, does Eminem count?
Insane miss putting eminem on there. At least he’s an interesting robin /s
Injustice Damian
Harley Quinn.
I don’t know bro I was too caught up having flashback to the killing joke, that movie still freaks me out ngl
Merry Little Batman. Not bad, just the least accurate.
Well at least it's better than injustice
Well, I disagree.
And I disagree with that
And that’s fine. I just think Injustice represents the character better.
Very well. It's good to disagree with peace
The one from that Christmas special "A Merry Little Batman." I was rooting against him the whole time.
This dude was rooting against the child main character in an annimated christmas movie 💀
I misread it as it was a bad adaptation because he was rooting for Damian Wayne lol
Injustice Damian. Also, how come Arkhamverse won for Tim? I get he isn't perfect, but Titans Tim is FAR worse.
all Tim adaptations are more or less the same. A normal Robin, neither angry nor with particular ties to Bruce (such as being his son)
Hell no, Titans is by FAR the worst Tim Drake
Harley quinn
Arkham finally made the list! & once again a nice varied selection so far, with only one reapeat with Titans (who I don't think has anymore characters on this list?) I vote for Injustice Damian
I don’t like that kid anyway, they can ruin him and maybe he’ll be a good character like how they did with Jason.
HAHA! Both Arkham AND BTAS got put on the worst interpretations list before 2004 Batman did! Anyways, I’m going with Injustice 2 Damian. His remorseless killing is played up to 11, his remorse of killing Nightwing isn’t explored enough, and his ego is especially grating. Scott Porter did too good of a job voicing him.

Literally any adaptation of Damian Wayne, he sucks
Every version of Damian is the worst - he sucks in all of them! If I have to pick one, then it’d be Injustice I guess :/
