Warning! Contains spoilers for Knight Terrors: Batman #1!DC has kicked off Knight Terrors, its latest major event with the villain Insomnia trapping both heroes and villains in their own personal nightmares, but it seems that Damian Wayne's Robin could be the only hero capable of saving the universe from this terrifying new villain.

As the entire DC universe is lulled into a nightmare by Insomnia, Damian Wayne travels deep into the mountains to try and find a way to resist falling asleep in Knight Terrors: Batman #1's backup story "Sweet Dreams" by Joshua Williamson, David Lafuente, and Rex Lokus. Damian encounters an ancient monk, who is apparently a master of dreams and sleep. After proving himself worthy, Damian is able to access the many scrolls and books that the monk has, each one offering a new way to sleep or dream, or even avoid sleeping entirely. When the temple is suddenly besieged by Insomnia's magic, it's these scrolls that allow Damian Wayne to avoid falling into a dream. As all the other inhabitants of the temple fall asleep, Damian is shown to be perfectly awake, and ready to take on Insomnia.

Damian Wayne Must Learn Not To Sleep

DC Comics' Knight Terrors promises to be a sprawling event that will see almost every character in the DC Universe get trapped in their worst nightmare as Insomnia searches for the nightmare stone. Every hero and villain has been trapped in a nightmare that is unique to them. For example, Joker is trapped in a world where he accidentally kills Batman and is forced to get a regular mundane job. Poison Ivy is trapped in a nightmarish version of suburban American life, and Batman is forced to face the idea of becoming Joe Chill. All of these nightmares are uniquely terrifying to each person, and they're completely unable to wake up, leaving them at the mercy of Insomnia. But Damian Wayne has seemingly managed to avoid all of this and is ready to take on the villain and save the day.

Damian knows something is coming after he has an abnormal nightmare and immediately sets out to find ways to protect himself from being attacked in his dreams. And it's possible it has worked, as over in Knight Terrors: First Blood it's shown that Zatanna is able to resist sleep as well by using magic. So, the uncharacteristic red eyes Damian sports at the end of the issue could just be an effect of him no longer needing sleep, instead of a hint that he has actually fallen into Insomnia's trap. If anyone is going to go up against Insomnia and save the DC Universe, Damian is a pretty good bet on being able to do it. Just recently he managed to help stop another magical threat during the events of Lazarus Planet.

Robin Can Avoid Living His Worst Nightmare

As Insomnia's power sweeps across the entire planet, it seems almost no heroes can resist him. The Flash, Batman, and even Superman have all fallen asleep due to Insomnia's magic. It seems that right now one of the few heroes capable of saving everyone from the horrors of Knight Terrors is none other than Damian Wayne.
