Damian wasn't a clone. He was a genetically engineered and scientifically perfected fetus that still required Bruce and Talia to make the dirty to create.
Totally different.
Totally different.
Ten points to HenryJones for namedropping Big McLargeHuge.

This is why I pretty much ignore canon altogether and treat the A-list superheroes (Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, and maybe one or two others) like a buffet. Comics, movies, cartoons, etc, I just pick up the things I like, leave the things I don't, and whatever ends up on my plate by the time I sit at the table is 'canon' to me. That's more or less what you have to do to avoid going insane.
Psh. You'll have to do a similar treatment for Spider-Man and/or Superman as you did for Batman before you get that.
Like, buy a gal some dinner, first, gawd.
