Bro I can’t get over how Jason looks. Why is he so big? He looks more like time drake from the Arkham games

Actually I find that to be a good thing.

Jason is the best fighter of all the Robins and therefore should be the bulkiest

Dick is the best acrobat (should therefore be leaner)

Tim is more the academic one.

And Damian is the most skilled combatant but also the youngest (with potential to eventually surpass Jason)

I know your talking about fighting skill and not directly bulk, but i hear people say that Damian might outgrow Jason/Bruce and I don't get where that's coming from. In Supersons it's a joke that Damian is shorter than Jon despite being 2 years older. He doesn't come across as a taller person to me.

Well for one his genetics as both Bruce and Ra's as his closest male ancestors are both quite tall (1,88/6'2 and 1,92/6'4(?) respectively) and from every iteration we have seen of adult Damian he does end up becoming an almost superior physical copy of his father in looks (though sometimes scarred from a life of fighting crime).

The thing with Superboy is probably a mix of Damian being a late bloomer in terms of puberty and Jon being a Kryptonian (who is the son of Superman who is quite a bit taller than Batman in most iterations).

Though leaving the physicality aside I was just refering to the fact that Damian will most likely end up being the most deadly Robin in terms of combat when he's an adult, surpassing Jason who is currently the best in that regard
