Gotham's Newest Scandal: Wayne Family Drama Caught on Video!

Gotham City's most notorious billionaire playboy, Bruce Wayne, has always been at the center of media attention. But now, it seems his son, Damian Wayne, is also making headlines in the city for his heroic actions. A secret video obtained by this reporter shows the young Wayne coming to the defense of his new stepmother, Calmia Hardin, against bullies in his school.

In the video, which was filmed by an anonymous source, young Damian can be seen engaging in a heated argument with kids in his class who were allegedly spreading rumors about Calmia, whom Bruce Wayne recently married. According to eyewitnesses, the bullies were calling Calmia a "gold digger," and Damian wasted no time in defending her honor.

"You have no right to say that!" Damian is heard saying in the video, his voice tinged with the trademark Wayne assertiveness. "She is not a gold digger, and you all need to shut up before I make you!"

The video shows Damian standing up to the bullies, despite being outnumbered, and not backing down. His unwavering defense of Calmia is commendable, showing that he is fiercely protective of his family, even at school.

Witnesses who were present during the incident claim that Damian's outburst took everyone by surprise. "He was like a mini Bruce Wayne," said one fellow student. "He stood up straight, looked those bullies in the eye, and defended Calmia like a true hero. It was pretty impressive."

Damian Wayne has also been quite known for his quick temper that has landed him into trouble at school and once even on a social event. It was no surprise to see that the bullies backed off without retaliation. Surely they did not want to face the wrath of an angry Damian Wayne who made the headlines last year at the Fall Gala.

However, not everyone is buying Damian's defense of his stepmother. Rumors are swirling that the young Wayne may have an ulterior motive for coming to Calmia's aid. Some speculate that Damian's loyalty to his stepmother might be driven by his desire to protect his father's wealth and legacy, while others question the validity of his actions, given his family's notorious history.

While some have praised Damian's loyalty and chivalry in defending his new stepmother, others are speculating that it might be an act to protect the Wayne family's reputation. After all, the Wayne family has long been a subject of gossip and speculation in Gotham's elite circles, with many questioning their extravagant lifestyle and mysterious ways.

"Is Damian just putting on a show to protect the Wayne family name? It wouldn't be the first time they've tried to control the narrative," commented one anonymous source. "It's hard to believe that a 15-year-old would be so vocal and protective of his stepmother, especially considering the rumors swirling around Calmia's past."

Indeed, Calmia Wayne, formerly known as Calmia Hardin, was a relatively unknown figure in Gotham's social scene until her whirlwind romance with Bruce Wayne. Some have whispered that Calmia's maiden name was associated with a modest background, leading to rumors that she may have married Bruce Wayne for his wealth and status.

As the video continues to circulate online, opinions remain divided on Damian's actions. Some see him as a hero defending his family, while others question his intentions. As the gossip mill in Gotham continues to churn, only time will tell if Damian's defense of his stepmother is genuine or if it's just another carefully orchestrated move in the never-ending saga of the enigmatic Wayne family. One thing's for sure, Gotham Daily will be keeping a close eye on the Wayne family's next move, eager to uncover the truth behind this latest scandal.
