Canon
In the G1 DC Super Hero Girls web series, Batgirl gets tasked to babysit Damian in "Kid Napped." Something that neither of them were happy about. Along with the young Robin making things harder when he threw one of the batarangas at Batgirl before running out of the room, leading her to chase after him. Wanting to help her friends deal with shadow monsters rather than looking after Damian, she calls him a waste of time. Damian states that he doesn't want to waste her time either. Realizing that her words might have hurt Damian she tries to make up for it by offering to tuck him into bed, but Robin refuses. He then goes to put himself to bed so that Babs can go help her friends.

Unknown to them, a pair of Shadow Creatures had gotten into the room to kidnap Damian. Batgirl finds the ransom note that the left, and rushes to Damian's rescue. When she arrives, she's not too surprised to find a freed Damian having everything under control. Having apprehended the two shadow villains who kidnapped him on his own. Still feeling bad for what she said earlier, Batgirl apologizes for what she said. She reassures him that she does see him as one of her friends and Damian also apologizes for the way he acted. He decides to let Batgirl tuck him into bed, even though he can't promise her that he'll sleep after words.

Fanon
Due to the big age gap between the two, people tend to ship them as friends. That is why AO3 has 48+ gen fanfics and only 8+ het fics. Even though Barbara forming romantic-like attachments to those who have served as Robin isn't something new, and there has been a small group who het shipped Damian with Stephanie Brown, people prefer to have her as another one of his big sister-like figures. Next to Cass and Steph.

Batfamily
Batfamily is the ship between Bruce Wayne, Selina Kyle, Alfred Pennyworth, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Stephanie Brown, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, Damian Wayne, Lucius Fox, and the other sidekicks of Batman, like Barbara Gordon; also known as the Batfam

Canon
This Gotham hero family started years about Bruce lost his parents while being looked after by his butler, before he grew up to become Batman. At first Bruce thought that he would be watching over Gotham on his own, while Alfred remains within the safety of the Batcave to patch him up. Until Bruce found himself adopting a young acrobat who became his first on-field-partner, Robin the Boy Wonder. Dick enjoyed his time as Robin, despite the times he and Bruce fought leaving Alfred to keep the peace between them, before he left to be his own person. This led to Brace taking in another young boy who became the second Robin. Along with making Jason Todd Bruce's second son and Dick's first brother. Three other Robins followed after Jason's death, along with him returning as the Red Hood. Tim uncovered Bruce's second in order to help him when he noticed that his grief was leading him down a dark path, realising that he was right was what got Bruce to agree with the idea of creating a third Robin. Bruce had even given the role of Robin to a girl called Stephanie Brown until he fired her, but it didn't stopped Steph from protecting Gotham as Orphan. Sometime after Bruce learned that he fathered a son with Talia al Ghul, Damian was named the next Robin by Dick. Who became Batman after Bruce was believed to be dead, while Tim as Red Robin refusing to expect that fact led to him uncovering the clues that reveal Bruce to still be alive. After adopting three boys and taking responsibility for his bio son, Batman finds himself taking in Cassandra Cain so he can teach her right from wrong, so she can use the skills from her assassin training for good. Even Bruce's cousin, Kate Kane ends up joining his mission as Batwoman.

The Batfamily isn't limited to people Bruce has adopted or shares blood with, it is also made out of people who get inspired by Batman to join in fight against the insane criminals that plague their home city. Like the daughter of the police commissioner that supports Batman and his allies even ends up becoming one of them. As Barbara Gordon self-taught herself to become Batgirl before Batman expects her as an ally, along with Dick executing the fact that the girl he has had off-on relationship with wants to help them. Even though part of Batman did regrate letting her into his world when she got shot by the Joker and lost the ability to walk. Leading Barbara to become Oracle so she can keep helping the Batfamily with her computer skills. The other tech person Bruce trusts with his secret is Lucius Fox, so he can have someone in his company he can trust and be able to use his stills to build Batman gear and vehicles to aid him in his mission. Lucius's son, Luke Fox also ends up joining the Batpack as Batwing. Even one of Batman's rouges, Catwoman become an honorary member of his allies; due to their off-on relationship that sometimes has Selina Kyle aiding the Dark Knight.

Fanon
The Batfamily is considered to be one of the most popular superhero families in the fandom world of comics, as well as adaptions of the DC universe. From how it started with a man who lost his parents and ended up becoming a father and mentor to those who wish to aid Batman in keeping their city safe, while keeping to his code. People who enjoy the family moments of the Batfamily over the dark theme of the Batman comics that has them together, tend to the feel drawn to the Batman: Wayne Family Adventures webtoon comic. Just as some prefer the young Batkids and sidekicks over the adult members. Because Ace the Bat-Hound is a dog than a person, some fans view him as the first canine member of the Batfamily or have him serve as their mascot; similar thoughts have also been said about Krypto the Superdog's role in the Superfamily.

Fans who are exited for the new Batman game, Gotham Knights like the way it focuses on the Batfamily and how four of its young sidekick members would cope with keeping their city safe without Batman to guide them. Some people are hoping for DLCs that would allow them to play other Knights than just Nightwing, Red Hood, Batgirl and Robin. Or at least have other members of the Batfamily appear in the game, before or after they too became Gotham's nightly protectors. Along with suspecting that Bruce Wayne might still be alive and would later be found by his partners, like with what happened with Caption America in the Marvel's Avengers game.

On AO3, there are 2196+ fanfics of the whole Batfamily that are tagged under "Batfamily members." Along with Tumblr being filled with fanart and posts on the Batfamily.

DamiMar'iJon
DamiMar'iJon is the polyship between Damian Wayne, Mar'i Grayson and Jonathan Kent.

Canon
Damian Wayne is the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul. This makes him an heir to the world's greatest crime-fighter, and its greatest super-villain Ra's al Ghul. Damian became the fifth Robin, working alongside his father as Batman.

Mar'i Grayson, Nightstar, is the daughter of Teen Titans Robin and Starfire in the not too distant future. Her mother died from a circulatory illness when she was young. This happened despite Bruce Wayne's best efforts to help Starfire. Her relationship with her father was somewhat strained due to them being on opposite sides of the conflict. By contrast, she shared a close relationship with Bruce Wayne whom she called Gramps. However, as she grew older, she realized that the world was not the one her parents knew. As such, she devolved into a vigilante, striking out at other metahumans for little or no reason.

Jonathan "Jon" Kent is the firstborn son of Kryptonian superhero Superman and news reporter Lois Lane. He fought crime alongside his father as the young hero Superboy. After growing up in a short period of time, Jon went to the future and joined the Legion of Super-Heroes before returning to the present just in time to pick up the mantle of Superman.

Fanon
Even though they haven't met fans often ship them because of their similarities such as tragic past, family issues, etc. In the DC comics, Damian and Jon have met in a series of comics called "Super Sons" and Damian and Mar'i have met in the "Kingdome Come" comic series, thus they make individual ships : DamiJon and Demonfire.

Writers portray Mar'i and Jon a bubbly personality and they mostly bond over the fact that they are hybrids, i.e. Mar'i being half Tamaranean and Jon being a half Kryptonian. Both of them thoroughly enjoy troubling Damian.
