BruTim
BruTim is the family ship between Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake

Canon
Unlike the other Robins that have fought beside Batman before going off on their own under a new title, Tim didn't start off as one of Bruce's wards as he still had his parents for a few good years before tragedy struck his family and became an orphan, like Dick and Jason before him. This has Bruce taking Tim in as his third son. There have also been other versions and universes that have Tim being orphaned at a young age, before he meets Batman and has Bruce adopting him when Tim is still a kid. Due to Jason's death, however, Bruce didn't want to train another Robin until he realised that Batman needs a Robin, as much as Robin needs Batman. So to ensure that Tim doesn't get killed like his predecessor, Bruce doesn't let Tim join him on the field until he is fully trained.

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.

JayDami
JayDami is the family ship between Jason Todd and Damian Wayne

Canon
Despite how both Jason and Damian have started off as Robins who kill and have their own ties to the League of Assassins through Talia, along wit a few other things or ties they might have in common, the two have trouble getting along. Making it hard for the two to except each other as brothers. Leaving Dick and a few other members of the bat-family to do what they can to keep the peace between them. From how the two feel more closer to Dick than they do with each other.

The New 52!
After Damian became Robin and from knowing that his father respects the previous Robins who have each honored their time as the boy wonder, while the uniform should serve as a symbol of the bond it gives them, he felt that he still needed to prove himself worthy to wear the R on his chest. This had him challenge Red Hood and his adoptive brothers, who Damian plans to face one by one, in Terminus: Scar of the Batman issue from Batman and Robin vol. 2; Pearl. Damian tricked the previous Robins into gathering to where he plans to serve the notice of his challenge to them. Jason was aware of the bounty Talia had placed on her own son and asked Damian why he wasn't in his "crib back at the manor instead of making" himself an easy target for assassins. Only to have Damian show Red Hood that he already took care of those assassins that gets the second Robin to ask Damian why he was wasting their time. Red Hood wasn't impressed when Damian made his attentions known so he could prove himself the better Robin to them, Batman and himself. After Damian left Red Hood knew that Nightwing was about to compare Jason with Damian, and tells his oldest brother to "shut up" on the subject. When Damian went to challenge Jason next, he snuck into his safehouse and placed a crowbar into his bed, before attacking him when Jason found it. As they fought, Damian mocked Jason as the Robin who gets hit when he is the Robin that does the hurting, a statement Jason doesn't agree with when he brought up Nobody, while Damian fights back by mentioning Joker. Damian even tells Jason that it was himself that failed him, not Batman, and how the two of them have had the worse luck when it comes to their mothers. A statement Jason agrees to. As Jason goes to pick up his dropped weapon, Damian uses the opportunity to steal Jason's Red Hood helmet as a trophy for his wall and makes his get away, while Jason angry rants on how he knows where the "little brat" lives. Despite what went on between them, Jason still came to Damian's aid beside Nightwing and Red Robin, in Terminus: Last Gasp, as Jason was the one who caught Damian when the other two got the mutated merged villains who attacked the fifth Robin to drop him. They then worked together to keep the other villains at by, while Batman deals with Terminus and the bomb. After the battle was won, Damian had asked Red Hood if he and the others wanted a ride, but Red Hood turns him down and makes his own way home.

The New 52 Teen Titans series does have Damian and Jason work together when Robin decided to create a blackups prison that deals with criminals in the ways he thinks they should be dealt with. Jason is one of the few people Damian trusts with its exitance, as he is the one who tells Damian where to find the inveigles he has locked-up in it. When a mission went wrong and had the hallmarks of their enemies being tipped off, Damian began to assume that Jason had somehow betrayed him. Before he confronts Jason on the matter, believing him to be guilty before checking other leads to explain what really happened, Robin has the Titans break into the Batcave in order to retrieve an item that is of importance to Jason. Alfred caught onto what Robin came for and how it relates to Jason, he tries to convince Damian to not hurt his "brother," while Damian questions Alfred why he is protecting Jason. As he strongly believed that Jason had betrayed him and wants to do what Batman should have done to Jason long ago, but Alfred continues to tell him that while they don't agree with Jason's ways he is still part of their family, is on the side of good and doesn't think that Damian shouldn't presume malice to what could be a miscommunication between them; and that Damian should at least talk to Jason before he makes any rash decisions that he may regret later. Red Arrow had agreed with Robin's suspicions of Red Hood being the leak and that they shouldn't have trusted him at to begin with. Later at night Damian finds Jason stumbling out of a bar, he didn't want to confront Jason in that state but things needed to be taken care of. Jason had been filled in on what happened before Damian met up with him, and even though he wasn't in a talking mood Jason did want to know who had killed Roy, and if Damian doesn't find out who it was he will. Along with him reminding Damian the terms of their deal, Jason does to Damian not the other way round. Damian began to explain what happened on the mission with Lady Fick, before he accuses Jason for betraying them and then begins to attack him. The continued their battle as Robin and Red Hood as Damian shares his reasons why he thinks that Jason had sold them out, only to have Jason tell Damian that the boy already has his own sins and how Jason wasn't going to confess for something he didn't do. Thinking that Jason was playing games with him, Damian takes out the box he stole from the Batcave and shows it to Jason. The two then began to fight for the box and as they did so Jason lectured Damian on how he should check his facts and even though he does acknowledge Damian as the smart one, Jason reminds him that he was still a little kid who as a lot to learn. Along with how he had lost this battle from the start of it. Jason wasn't even fuelled by the bomb Damian threated to get off to make himself the winner, as they had both been dead before and tells Damian that he wasn't working for the Other and in time he'll understand that. Before Jason leaves with the box, he tells the injured Robin that if he or the Titans should try to come for him he'll put them all into the ground.

Batman: Death in the Family
When the interaction movie version of Under the Red Hood has viewers decided to have both Bruce and Jason survive the Joker's bomb, Jason meets baby Damian when Talia approached him to join the League of Assassins. The files Jason has read on the Bat-computer has him being aware that Talia was expecting Bruce's child, but due to what happened to Jason in Bosnian Bruce cut ties with her, along with Talia telling Bruce that she had lost their child before he was born so he wouldn't be forced to pick between Damian or Jason. Jason was surprised by Damian's existence and didn't want to be the baby's father figure in Bruce's place, but Talia said the right things to convince Jason to join her and to help her raise his baby brother. Jason's ending monolog of this version has him stating that Damian was also the one who got him to except his mother's offer, along with him planning to warp Damian into a weapon that would destroy both the League and the Bat family. He calls Damian his brother as he holds the baby in his arms, while Damian touches the "R" on Jason's chest.

Moments
Lego DC Batman: Family Matters
 * Because of the way that Batman had refused to talk about Jason it gets Damian to think that he was dead.
 * Until he learns that the Red Hood is the second Robin.
 * Damian thought it was cool that Jason had once stole the wheels off the batmobile.

Fanon
Some fans like to think of Damian as the second Jason, from how similar the two are to another in their own ways. From being cared for by Talia during their time with the League of Assassins and being Robins who have killed. Giving the two common ground to stand on and due to the things that the two might not be able to bring themselves to share with Bruce or Dick, fans like to think that Jason and Damian can share those things with each other. Along with Jason helping Damian to stay on the none killing path, after he started to lessen his number of kills. Because JayDami-like moments were only seen in the comics, as well as a limited number of animated films and TV shows, it has the family-ship be over shadowed by DickDami, BruDami and JayDick; even though a few JayDami fans would like to see more of the two in other sources of media.

Due to the way that the Young Justice series has Jason and a very young Damian in the same scenes together, fans began to wonder if Talia has Jason helping her to raise Damian or simply has him serve as their personal bodyguard. From how Jason was about fight Cheshire when her words made her sound like a threat to Talia and her son. Some fans are hopping that any future Young Justice seasons, or any other source of media on the series, would have more Jason and Damian scenes.

There have even been TalJay fans who have wondered if Jason might be Dmaian's true father. Due to the time Jason spent under Talia's care and people thinking how similar he and Damian have been shown to be from time to time. BruDami supporters have dismissed this theory, but the idea has popped up in a few fanfics from time to time. Along with making Jason Damian's step-father, for a laugh or to take a stab at Damian knowing that he wouldn't like the idea. Just Talina fans know how such an idea would anger him.

On AO3, there are 1923+ gen fanfics on the two.
