Origins:

Talia al Ghul had a romance-story planned for herself and Batman: she would bear him a child, and they would unite as a family to rule the world. Unfortunately, Batman turned her down, and her plan to send her son to usurp the name of Batman backfired. So she turned to science to provide her with the perfect child: a clone of Damian Wayne.

While Batman was missing for a year, his former sidekick, Dick Grayson was acting as Batman at the time. After an attempt to control her son's body and to kill Grayson failed, Talia was forced to disown Damian, who had chosen to follow his father's path as a crime fighter. As she bid farewell to her son, Talia made sure she showed him that she'd already cloned him, in an effort to create a new son who she could meld to her own desires. She decided to speed up her new son's development. Taking him to a facility in Yemen that created meta-human bodyguards using experimental surgery, she had him gestated in the body of a whale. Growing to the size of an adult human, he fought his way free of the whale, and subsequently decimated the facility's entire population of meta-humans as he honed his killing skills. By the time the Batman returned, he was ready.
