"The Kingdom" is a story arc consisting of a two-issue, self-titled comic book limited series and multiple one-shot comics published by DC Comics in 1999.

Ibn Al Xu'ffasch
Damian Wayne, also known as Damian al Ghul (Arabic: دميان الغول), is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, created by Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert, commonly in association with Batman. He is the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul, and thus the grandson of Batman villain Ra's al Ghul and the potential inheritor of Wayne Enterprises.
